  Made a big jump of the server version while working on fixing some registration issues. Things look wonky on my end and likely will on your end too for a bit. I’ll try to get those bits nailed down. I’ll make a discussion thread as usual so you can report things.

  Ascension Sojourns is a generational World of Darkness 20th Anniversary game that has been updated to include an earth grid of Freistatt, Minnesota (encompasses the area of the twin cities and suburbs) .

  Minnesota has become an island sanctuary state over the years, and especially when the states closed their borders with the growing political climate. Various “underground railroad” groups have formed over the years. However now they help refugees from other states seeking to have personal and medical freedom they might be persecuted in their state for. SURF-MN was established to help refugees from room(often in the form of couch surfing) , board and access to services.

  While at one point Minnesota struggled, as all states did, with supplying food and resources to the population, they have survived better than most thanks to some trade agreements. “Victory Gardens” have made a come back as communities pull together to support themselves and the influx of refugees.

  However, despite the seeming rosey nature of life in MN, while states and people quarrel, and eyes are diverted, something dark is seeping into the current. Various scars are just starting to be noticed on the earth and in the umbra, but what they mean is yet unsolved.

  Additional Updates:

  The horizon realm grid is currently closed for new players, as that timeline runs on a accelerated time scale.

  Mage and Shifters now automatically start play at Arete/Rank 3. You can choose to start lower, just contact staff to have it lowered.

  We have opened the shifter sphere for play. There are currently 9 shifter slots open to fill two packs; 4 slots in Sacred Hunt Pack, second pack yet unnamed. Unlimited kinfolk slots. There is currently a preference for homid garou.

  Limited Bygone and Demon slots are open.
  Unlimited Mortal and Mortal+ slots are open.
  Mage Traditions (any except Hermetics)

  We are now offering Starting XP that can be spent immediately after approval in the XP room. The amount of starting xp is based on the character concepts most desired. Very specific concepts listed in the Recruitment Announcements on Discord receive max starting xp (50 xp) regardless of the general guidelines on the wiki. Additional xp may be given for well-written backgrounds and concepts.

  I’m not sure I have an opinion on whether staff should disclose their alts on any kind of ‘this is good/bad for the game’ basis. I mostly think there’s no point in this kind of secrecy. People will find out, you better believe they will talk about it, so why not be upfront about it? Feels like it just saves time/drama.

  @catzilla said in LF various WoD/CofD people over the years:

  Was reading over some old logs and got nostalgic for various people I’ve RP’d with over the years and have lost contact with.

  Are you the player of any of these people? Let me know, I’d love to RP with you again!

  Bliss & Ruin
  Can’t remember the name but a male Mekhet that ghouled my mortal after watching her get beaten up.

  Ordo Nox
  Succubus (ST/Admin handle)
  Anathema (ST/Admin handle)
  Remy the Orpheus character from Ordo Nox

  Fabula Rasa
  Pretty much anyone that was in the following games:
  The Vegas Hunter game
  Maq’s Asheville Mage game
  Maq’s Anchorage Werewolf game

  NOLA (whatever the latest version was)
  Eerie
  Muse
  Nikola
  Seth
  Rafael

  Wanton Wicked - Savannah
  Too many people to list, but if you remember Eve Masterson and enjoyed playing with her/me, this is for you!

  Fallcoast
  Darwin (ST handle)
  Tobin
  Alistair
  Erika
  Sebastian
  Rudy
  Walker
  Isrieal

  Tarnished Reflections
  Anyone from the Vampire or Changeling game!

  Ohh, god. I played on, like, three of them? But it’s been so long since I was on Fabula Rasa and Tarnished Reflections that I barely remember who I played, and there were so many reboots of Wanton Wicked that I’m like, “Okay, but which one?”

  New Changes and New Staff Jan 13 2025 Maelstrom

  It is the start of a new year and what better time to look forward to what is ahead? We’ve got a lot of ideas stirring for the game’s over-arching story as well as smaller, contained plots to be sprinkled over the next twelve months. There will be more updates made to the wiki, help files, and planets. As well as positive changes to some of our rule sets and potential +event rewards.

  Further, we will be steering away from conflict avoidance and towards conflict mediation. In that vein, please allow me the privilege of introducing some new members to our team.

  Leviathan and Heureux are long-time players of the game and even longer members of the MUSHing community. Their roles are to aide you to having the best possible experience here. This includes questions about the game’s systems and mediation with other players and staff. If you have concerns or grievances, I encourage you to seek a resolution rather than letting it fester on the back channels.

  Also, please welcome our two new roleplay admins Lovecraft and Conquest! Their role is to help facilitate stories on the grid, be it helping a player run a personal plot or hosting planet-centric storylines. They can also answer questions regarding ideas and character concepts.

  We want to thank everyone who has put their time and effort into this game. Whether you’ve been here for years, newly arrived, or are returning from time away, you’ve all contributed to the legacy that is Age of Alliances. Staff are making a concentrated effort to make this the best environment for story-telling.

  That right, Cujo doesn’t want you complaining somewhere else that might make his game look bad, no! Instead, go tell some new staffers instead!

  How has it taken THIS LONG for him to get staff to deal with this kind of thing? Still, I doubt it’ll change things, as it gives him a scapegoat for things not getting better. "It wasn’t ME that dealt with it, it was THEM! I can’t deal with things I never hear about!
