The night will be packed with court, dancing, and yet more food and plotting. Grab your mask and fancy clothes; come join us for the Black and White Ball!
We are honored to have Fern once again officiate the Royal Pâtissier of Chimeron competion! This year, the challenge is all things fudge. For more information, check out the full details here.
In addition, we are seeking more desserts for the dessert showcase table. If you would like the Realms to know about your baking (or other dessert making skills) bring something in! This portion is not a competition. More details on that are also to be found in the link above.
Sir Sagart will be hosting a Stacked Deck poker tournament this year! Official start time is 1pm with some flexibility, but we must finish before court. It will last approximately 3 hours. It is a 25-gold buy-in for 4000 chips. When you first buy-in, you will be given an opportunity to buy 1000 extra chips for 5 gold. this 5 gold will go directly to the dealer as a tip. Six 30-minute blinds will be used.
REBUYS: unlimited 25 gold rebuys for the first hour any time your stack is at 2000 chips or less. Regardless of your stack size at the end of the first hour anyone can do a 25 gold for one 4000 chip add on.
