In order to participate in a JLAG event, one must create a character for whom you will take on the personality of. Your character can be anyone of these: Elf, Human, Beast, Ork, Goblin, Dwarf, Half-Ork, Un-dead, Spirit, Dark Lunaria or Lunarai.  Your character can also be one of the following classes: Soldier, Knight, Thief, Assasin, Priest, Monk,  Necromancer, Mage, Peasant, Ranger, Barbarian, or Samurai. Every character that is created by a player must be okay-ed by the High Council of Junior Live Action Guild.

 

 

 

Once the game has begun, it is very important that all players stay IN character and role play among the other participants. A JLAG game isn't very fun if someone isn't acting like the character they created. The game will run ALOT smoother if everyone stays in character ALWAYS. Unless of course you are injured or fear for your well-being. It also helps if you come in some form of costume, whether it be a simple cloak, or a suite of Chain Mail.

JLAG isn't all about combat, it's about interacting with one another in a new world that YOU created. A world that in every way is different from reality. Diplomacy and interaction with fellow gamers is imperative for smooth game play. Besides, no matter how fun it may be, 5 hours of combat is no fun for anyone.

 

 

 

Combat can sometimes play a large role in the world of fantasy role playing. Because of this, we have created a SAFE and enjoyable system of combat. First off, character such as:Warrior, Knight, Theif, Assasin, Preist, Mage,  and Ranger all have 35 life points to start with. Barbarians , all start with 40 life points, due to their skill as warriors. Also keep in mind that life point totals can be increased by living through events (5 points every two events).  

 Hits to the Chest and Stomach give a +5 bonus on the attack, and hits on the head, groin, and hands do not count.  TO MAKE THE GAMES LESS COMPLICATED.... WE HAVE ALL DECIDED TO HAVE ALL COMBAT DAMAGE BE 5 DAMAGE  TO EXTREMEITES AND 10  DAMAGE TO THE CHEST AND STOMACH!   HOPEFULLY THIS WILL CUT DOWN ON THE AMOUNTS OF IN-GAME ARGUMENTS ABOUT WHOS DEAD AND WHOS NOT.   THE ONLY WAY TO GET DAMAGE BONUS's IS BY MAGICAL ITEMS OR MAGICAL ABILITIES .

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The magical spells in the world of JLAG are limited only to Shaman, Priests, Monks, Necromancers, Undead, and Lunaria. These spells are: Heal, Ressurect, Burn, Bolt, Conjuring (lvl 1)  Conjuring (lvl 2) ETC, In-Direct HEAL( GENERAL TARGET)  These spells may only be used twice each! Heal may only be given to a character that HAS NOT received a killing blow. Heal may only be administered to characters that still have life points and players that dont. Burn delivers an automatic 5 damage, and Bolt delivers an automatic 7 damage. ALL SPELLS MUST BE ANNOUNCED BEFORE CASTING! 

 

 

All weapons used in JLAG must pass inspection by the High Council and must be BOFFER SAFE. Boffer means a weapon that is padded, so it inflicts minimal pain to the victim. ALL weapons are to be made out of PVC pipe and padded with closed-cell and open-cell pipe insulation. If the weapon does not pass inspection, it cannot be used in an event.

 

 

 

For every JLAG event that your character survives, he or she is then given a choice in upgrading their character. The possible upgrades are as follows:

 

 

Barbarian- . Barbarians start with 35 life points, and are only capable of limited magical abilities, (only upgraded Shamahn obtainable by surviving 3 events). 

 

Necromancer- Necromancers are beings that are capable of raising the dead, and are capable of conjouring many other types of spiritual beings. Necromancers only have 30 life points and do a base attack of 5, but their magic ability is far superior than most. Necromancers are given 2 heal spells, and 2 conjouring spells. These conjouring spells may be used to temporarily add +5 to the Necromancers next attack.This bonus represents the fact that The deamon or spirit he has conjured is assisting him in his attack. The player must announce that he is to use a conjouring spell, BEFORE the attack is made.

 

Peasents- are the town folk of the Tolarian woods. Peasents may come and go as they please, and live a relatively simple and peacfull lives.
