11.15 - A Winter for War

As the year draws to a close, opponents make moves with the last of the usable time before winter crystalizes the situation. Forces to the south prepare with anticipation for a push before the snow stops movement.

At the same time, the forests of Ilveresh are unusually loud for this time of the year, with cackles, howling, and loud metallic stomping ringing out.

Welcome to the last event of the year we hope to see you there!

11.14 - BLD Tree Work Day

Hello Club Members!

The BLD Team's next work day will be Saturday 12/2, 10 am - 4pm (6 hours). If there is more work by the end of Saturday, we will continue on Sunday 12/3 10 am - 4pm (6 hours). Info will be posted as applicable.

We have several large trees throughout the property that need to be taken down, cut, and stacked. We are having a professional drop the largest ones leading up to Sat 12/2. There is not a ton of daylight to work with this time of year, so we need all the help we can get! Some loppers will be available for small limbing work.

Be sure to dress warmly, bring a pair of thick gloves, and brings some water. If you have your own loppers or saw, please bring your tools.

BLD will be offering double XP for the work day(s) = 4 XP per hour worked!

We are looking forward to clearing up what we can, and hope to see you out there!

11.10 - From the Desk of CBM 1st

Hello everyone!
Just your CBM crew here to let you know that your character sheet updates for the October Live Event and the two most recent Role Play Only Live Events have been completed.
As always, if you find something of concern or you did not get an update, please be sure to check the "Staff Comments" tab on your sheet first for possible information.
Otherwise, you can always reach out to us at cbm@kanar.club and I am sure we can work together to get it taken care of!
We wanted to thank everyone that took the time to read the updated "Skills Learned" section of the signouts form and submitted the skills in the desired format. This makes our job easier as it allows us to simply copy and paste your skills right from the form and into your sheet. We hope to see more players doing this in the future!
That all being said, we thank you all for your understanding and patience.
See you at the next event!
Your CBM Staff!
