Hello everyone and welcome to Closed Beta! We’re excited to have you here.
Currently, we have all of our core systems in place and tested for functionality, which is a different animal from the end user. This is where you come in. As you go about creating your characters and interacting with the game you may notice some things that are broken, unclear or difficult to use. You may see typos or inconsistencies or bad links. Please do let us know either by submitting a ticket to us via the website (http://lostdominion.org/submit-ticket/) or using the ‘leave feedback’ buttons at the bottom of most of the pages on the website. You can talk to us too – we’d welcome it – but the documentation really helps us compare notes and track things down.
There are a few things that are not yet fully in place or that may change. We’ve included a list below just so you know the things we’re already aware of:
Policy:
PrP – We’ll get this finalized before the end of Closed Beta
Content:
Notable NPCs for Dogwood, Vesper, and Saren’s Rest
Systems:
Experience gain – XP gain will be shut off for the duration of Closed Beta. You may see it appear and increment on your player home pages as we test it, but it won’t go live until we go to Open Beta
Events – We’re working on the events system to make it even more user friendly. This will be in place by the time we go to Open Beta.
Fate Systems – The FATE system, particularly the Extras, is a fairly new creation and subject to both minor tweaks and major balance revisions as we figure out what does and does not work, what’s overpowered, what’s underpowered and so on. Where this affects your character we will work with you to make sure that your concept stays intact. Just be aware, things are fluid right now and are expected to change. Definitely give us feedback here, if you think something is underpowered, overpowered, clunky, whatever.
Alts – We don’t expect Closed Beta to last more than a couple of weeks, so for the moment we’re asking folks to hold off on any alt ideas. You’ll get a chance to get more characters. Promise.
Something a bit different
One of the things that we’ve done is given you, our players, multiple channels to connect with us. To that end, we’ve created a Facebook and Twitter account. We really don’t expect to use these exhaustively but we do plan on having our logs and updates published there – hopefully making it easier for you to keep up with the happenings.

+log
+log/setup <OBJ> – Turns <OBJ> into a logging object.
+log/on <OBJ> – Turns the log on <OBJ> on. Must be in the room, not your inventory.
+log/occ <OBJ>=<0/1> – Controls if <OBJ> will log OOC commentary or not. 0=no, 1=yes. Default is 1. Must be in the room, not your inventory.
+log/off <OBJ> – Turns off the log off <OBJ>. Must be in the room, not your inventory.
+log/show <OBJ> – It will show you all the logged data on <OBJ>. You must have <OBJ> in your inventory.
+log/wipe <OBJ> – This will clear all logged data from <OBJ>. You must have <OBJ> in your inventory.
+log/return <OBJ> – This will send <OBJ> back to its owner.
+log/re <OBJ>=<X> – This command will return the last X number of poses to you. Anyone in the room can use this command. Great for getting caught up.
This allows players to create an object and use it to log a scene. The object is visible in the room at all times and flagged with double red parenthesis to make them stand out like: ((Logger Name)). Looking at the object will say that it is a logging object and if it is on or off. This allows a log without channel spam, page spam, OOC spam, +where and WHO spam that will output in a manner you can cut and paste directly into a log post!
These objects are ALWAYS displayed in a room. The room display code will not allow them to be hidden or ‘invisible’.
To start, create an object with ‘@create <OBJ>’ where <OBJ> is whatever name you like. Please do not use anything inappropriate. You can go with anything from a generic ‘Logger’ to the name of an item your character might carry.
Staff has found in the past that people forget to recycle or destroy their loggers. This is why Lost Dominion has Quota enabled on the game.
PLEASE REMEMBER that logs are NOT secure objects. If you forget it in a room, anyone can view its contents.
Credit for this code goes to Exeter and Magdalen from Dark Spires MUSH

Actions and Outcomes
IT’S TIME FOR ACTION!
You roll the dice when there’s some kind of interesting opposition keeping you from achieving your goals. If there’s no interesting opposition, you just accomplish whatever you say you’re trying to do.
As we’ve said in prior chapters, characters in a Fate game solve their problems proactively. Players, during the game you’re going to do a lot—you might break into the bad guy’s fortress, pilot a starship past a minefield, rally a group of people into a protest, or poll a network of informants to get the latest word on the street.
Whenever you take action, there’s a good chance that something or someone is going to be in your way. It wouldn’t be an interesting story if the bad guy just rolled over and handed you victory on a plate—clearly, he’s got some crazy security measures to keep you out of his place. Or the mines are unstable and already blowing up around you. Or the protesters are really scared of the cops. Or someone’s been bribing the informants to keep quiet.
That’s when it’s time to take out the dice.
- Choose the character’s skill that is appropriate to the action.
- Roll four Fate dice.
- Add together the symbols showing on the dice. A + is +1, a – is –1, and a 0 is 0.
- Add your skill rating to the dice roll. The total is your result on the ladder.
- If you invoke an aspect, add +2 to your result or reroll the dice.
Cynere needs to bribe her way past the guards keeping her from entering the city of Thaalar. Amanda says she’ll do this as a straight-up overcome action, because the guards are nameless NPCs anyway and not really worth a conflict. Lily looks through Cynere’s skill list and picks Resources as her skill, hoping she can scrounge enough out of her coin purse to satisfy them. Her Resources skill is Average (+1), so she’ll add one to whatever result she gets from rolling the dice. She rolls and gets: +-0+ Her total result is +2 (+1 from her dice and +1 from her skill of Average), which corresponds to a Fair on the ladder. As we said in The Basics, whenever you roll the dice, you’re comparing your roll to your opposition. Opposition is either active, meaning it’s another person rolling dice against you, or passive, meaning that it’s just a set rating on the ladder which represents the influence of the environment or situation you’re in. GMs, it’s your job to decide what the most reasonable source of opposition is. Amanda decides to roll active opposition against Lily on behalf of the guards. She decides the most appropriate opposing skill is Will—they’re trying to resist the temptation of bribery, after all. The guards are nameless NPCs with no reason to be particularly strong of will, so she gives them a Mediocre (+0). She rolls and gets: ++0+ …for an incredibly lucky result of +3! That gives her a Good (+3) result, beating Lily’s roll by one. FOR THE GM: ACTIVE OR PASSIVE?Opposition

Activity
The Lost Dominion has three ‘levels’ of activity.
ACTIVE – This is the ‘default’ state. An ACTIVE Character receives passive Milestone gains.
IDLE – If a Player has not logged on in to any of their characters or the website in two weeks, they are considered IDLE. Passive Milestone gains are halted.
INACTIVE – Characters are considered INACTIVE if they are 90 days without login. At that point, the Character is subject to @nuke. If the Character is @nuked the Player wants them back,, they will need to recreate the character bit and submit a ticket with a request for the character to be re-approved. Since all of our Character data is kept on the website, this should be a fairly painless process.
