    James I see the special but no BI. What is the plan this year? Also what is the difference between the Hard Points and the Anchor Points? Are the Hard Points Henry’s story and the Anchor Points yours?

    Unless things radically change between now and the con I’m willing to do 4 slots worth for the previously agreed upon “compensation.” \":)\"

    I’ll post details about the special soon (likely in a week or so).

    Mike, you are correct that the Hard Points are Henry’s story arc, and the Anchor Points are mine (as a loose definition).

    Looking forward to both storylines, since both were started with a metaphorical “bang” last year. \":)\"

    If the special is anything like last years that was a lot of fun to run. Definitely willing to help with that in any capacity. Plus it’s always fun to play a cool character, especially a priest.

    I am also willing to run the special. Formal Email forthcoming.

    Are the Anchor Points going to require Tier 3.1 characters as well?

    As stated elsewhere, A3: The War of the Paragons will assume all players are Tier 3.1 or higher (read: the statblocks will be tiered assuming Heroes of Tier 3.1 or higher). This is why there will be a leveling cert made available prior to Origins.

    I’m clear on War of the Paragons being Tier 3, it’s the other story arc I’m asking about. As I understand it James’ story is a separate entity.

    James’ series are labelled Anchor Points, which are (traditionally) just another type of mod (like a Hard Point and a Soft Point). It is not a separate campaign.

    Hi all,

    First, to those who have sent me emails already, I would ask that you review the new schedule listed above as significant changes have occurred and that you resend the volunteering email to me. Apologies for having to ask you to do so.

    We have had to make significant changes to the schedule as a result of some personal circumstances; I won’t be attending Origins in person this year for a variety of reasons that I won’t get into here. Hence, the adventure line-up has changed to things that the team who are attending feel comfortable running.

    Best,
    James
