Returning Player

Hi, so I'm not a new player. I played a handful of events from summer 2014 to mid-2015. Talking to my friend that still goes, a lot has changed. I heard things about item rewriting, and a while ago there was something about being able to write Race when there was a race rework. I go onto my card on the site and the points, gold, and stuff is still there but no traits or anything. I'm now level -7 with 93 build total and 93 unspent build. So, the real question is, what do I need to do or update before I go the next time. Am I doing a full RetCon character rewrite? And what do I have to do with my current items? Thanks in advance!

Hi, Nick! Welcome back.

The way level is calculated, changed as well. Character levels are no longer sky-high, even among players who've been playing nearly since the game's inception. That's why you're temporarily level -7 but fret not, that will be resolved as soon as you rewrite your character.

It's not a RetCon as far as your character's personality and identity goes, but nearly all of the skills and abilities were changed around. Instructions on how to rewrite are listed neatly here on this page:
docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeZcBkw...L8go479-RGA/viewform

If you have any difficulties, I am one of the members of your friendly neighborhood Card Team and would be happy to assist if needed.

Gather up your item cards. This first link is a spreadsheet detailing what they're worth:
docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1n0qR_ofl...B5NTKwng3f0/htmlview

The next link is another spreadsheet with the new items you'll be able to purchase once your current items are turned in:
docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MlPdkqdU...8EtIL4uF4/edit#gid=0

Times and locations when a member of Staff will be on-hand to help with your item conversion should be announced closer to the event.

If you have any other questions, I'm also here to field those. Otherwise, I'll see you at the event, buddy!

I think you made a mistake with the link for the item values, it is the same link as the item purchasing sheet. Maybe I’m mistaken. Thanks!

You're right, I did make a mistake there. Thank you for the correction!

Thanks for the help! Few questions:
Can I change my race? Although my OG race of halfing kind of fits, the RP reqs have changed and reading through a Vaceti Coastadori fits my costuming and character morals(well lack thereof) much better.
Has the teaching and learning system disappeared completely? Is everything self-taught for build prices?(I read about the increasing cost of build)
I assume I'm entitled to all 93 build my character had before the rule re-write?
Thanks in advance!!

Yes, along with your race and as with all previous rewrites, you're allowed to change any aspect of your character.

You may have been here for the change, but Master Teach and Teach merged into Teach; you can teach any amount of people present for the lesson.

Skills are still learned from another character, unless your character knows at least one instance of the skill.

Yes, you're entitled to your full build amount.
