-======Rite of Passage====== 
  
 +======CANCELLED======
 +
 +Hi everyone - unfortunately we've decided to cancel this event.
 +
 +For the curious, the draft rules for the last playtest we ran are here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dbuoKVD-fWHbDsG-SLhTMcHJN0TTcuaA1mkuwGosj5I/edit?usp=drivesdk
 +
 +The major feedback from that was to remove ROOT as a call (because stopping on a dime from full sprint is near impossible)
 +
 +Feel free to try those out in your own playtests, remix them or borrow ideas for other games.

 +=====Old Intro=====
 +=====Rite of Passage=====
 >Exile! For your crimes you have been banished from the loving arms of the Protectorate, and now lie choking in the dust of the Wastes. There is but one way to atone your sins and be welcomed back to civilisation's warm embrace - The Rites. Gather your fellows, compete against those who would see you remain scrabbling in the dirt, and for those who triumph - ascension awaits. >Exile!

 =====What Will Players Be Doing?===== =====What Will Players Be Doing?=====
 +
 +Player characters are exiles, banished to the Wastes, and participating in the Rites as their only hope of returning to the Protectorate. Any that return will do so into positions of influence and power (the character will no longer be playable, but can make changes to the setting and send letters back to be delivered at the next event).  There will be a limited number of opportunities to return, which will be obtained through the Rites and some related trials.
 +
 +This is a PvP game - there will be competition for resources, and particularly for those opportunities for returning to the Protectorate.  There will be no character death during the game, and no combat outside of the Rites.
  
 Rite of Passage will use a class-based system.  While the focus of the game is on the Rites, which are represented by LARP combat, there are several non-combat options. Rite of Passage will use a class-based system.  While the focus of the game is on the Rites, which are represented by LARP combat, there are several non-combat options.
