It’s Jonathan here with a few Summer updates coming your way!
You might have seen a few of these announcements already in your email inbox, thanks to our very talented Marketing Admin Kiara, but we will repeat a few of them here just in case!
I’ve made a few website updates, and you’ll see a few more over the summer. The Blueprint Checklist has been updated for two new prints, as well as a edited Augment print.
I’ve written a bunch on the topic of the economy, and you can see a new page on our site, Turbo’s Guide to Econ. I had fun writing this one, so check it out!
Pictures in this post were taken by Max during our season finale. They’ll be publicly available on our Flickr on Wed May 31. Keep an eye on our social media for the drop! You can visit Flickr now to see the first batch of pics by Lainey Weiss.
Camp Kachina Clean Up Day
Fri Jun 2 - Sat Jun 3
Camp Kachina is our Bravado home, and from time to time this community pitches in to help keep the camp looking nice and functioning not just for us, but for the Girl Scout troops that also call Kachina home.
This time, we’re offering up to 10 XP for folks who come out Friday and Saturday. You can be onsite as early at 2:00 pm Friday, but we won’t really start filming until 4:00 pm. Afterwards, we’ll have a potluck and hang out. Definitely bring your kit (s), some food to share, and maybe your favorite board game or some smores!
On Saturday, we’ll start the day with some coffee and tackle some necessary projects the Camp needs done. Bring some clothes to paint in and your close toed shoes. We’ll break for lunch around 1pm (don’t worry, we got this one!) and end the day around 5:00 pm.
Showing up on Friday for filming nets you 2XP, and you can earn 1XP per hour on Saturday for a max of 10XP.
That’s a PFA, most skills, body, mind, etc. If you’re looking for an edge over the summer but can’t attend a National game, this is it.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: What time are we starting THE CLEAN UP EVENT?
Kachina will be open at 2:00 PM on Friday, but the fun starts at 4:00 PM, as we use the last bit of daylight to take some videos for promotional use for the game. Bring your character kit, and you can be the star! We have a planned potluck that evening, or you can get food in nearby Belton. I’ll bring a few board games if folks are interested, and maybe a Commander deck or two.
Saturday, we will start at 9:00 AM after some morning coffee and go until either 5:00 PM or until our chore list is complete! Lunch will be provided by DR:TX, so don’t worry!
Q: Does this extra XP apply to all of my characters if I have an Advanced Membership?
No. This is a special set of XP provided to you for the Clean Up Day event. It doesn’t stack with your Advanced Membership, so only one character will get this perk. Sorry!
Q: Can we stay on site on Saturday night?
Unfortunately no. The Girl Scouts will be starting their orientation for summer camp the next day, so we need to be off site after the work day is completed Saturday afternoon.
Q: What Cabins will be open?
We plan on using Wikiup for this event. This is a climate-controlled cabin, so we will have access to the air conditioning. Whew!
Q: What tasks will wE be completing on Saturday?
It’s a LOT of painting, so bring old clothes that you are fine with getting covered in paint. We will be working on:
Painting the benches around the fire circle to the new Girl Scout green color
Painting the additional picnic tables around Kiva the new green color
Painting the porch of Kiva to match the color of the building.
Rock removal from the grassy area around the flag circle
Dutch oven clean up
Replace ropes at the Yuma Tent areas
Some optional tasks we will try if folks can bring some tools with them:
Limb removal and cutting firewood for the summer. If you can bring a saw, we would appreciate it!
Making cleat boards for sailing instruction. This task needs basic drills.
Helping move/set up bunk beds (no tools needed!)
We will have some additional projects to work on just in case, but the Girl Scouts are excited to have the extra support for their upcoming summer season.
Q: Will you be able to answer questions about Season 5 plots?
Nope! We still have to finish up our stories, but we have some VERY cool plans for Season 5, don’t worry!
