DROPBOX

This page is a quick way to get in touch with the mod team. If you have a suggestion for a future event, would like to request NPC interaction, need clarification on something, or have questions about anything Peckenpaugh-related, you can post that here. All comments on this page are screened initially, but threads with valuable information may be made public. You can also contact us via email at peckishmods@gmail.com. We will try to address all questions and requests in a timely manner. If it has been seven days and you have not received a response, we encourage you to bump your comment with an edit or reply.

What sorts of things can I ask about here?

• Questions about the setting at large.
• Questions about NPCs.
• Questions about the application or the character roster.
• If you need clarification of the rules, IC or OOC.
• If you would like mod assistance, permission or input on an event you'd like to run.
• If you want your character to do something, but aren't sure if it's okay to do, or if you'd like to know potential IC consequences before you do something.
• Suggestions for pcal slots, events or anything of that nature.
• Requests for NPC interactions with staff, townies and any other mod controlled characters roaming the hills.
• Requests for a roll if you're out late at night or otherwise doing something that might get you in trouble. What does the roll net you? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
• Once a month you may request an RNG roll to see if you find anything cool at Spellunking or are successful in acquiring spirits from Elflock Liquor.
• If you need to drop a character or leave the game. :(
• And, honestly, anything game related!

All About Locks!

For the Houses: All main entryways for Houses are charmed to open only for students and staff. Any student, regardless of House, may enter any House's Common Area before curfew. After curfew, the main door to a House will only open for staff and students belonging to that House, although a student from another House, or a different guest may be invited inside by a resident. While there is some separation by gender inherent to the floor plan of each dormitory House, nothing magically prohibits students from going anywhere in their own House.

For individual dorms: Student dorms come with manual locks on them, no magical locking beyond a standard resistances to the most basic of opening/unlocking spells is in place, and students are given keys at the start of the year. Students have been known to charm their doors. It's actually quite common, and while school policy is that students must notify staff of any additional mundane or magical locks or protective charms they place on their dorm doors (for safety/liability reasons), many students do not and regularly get away with it without issue. Anyone can theoretically tamper with a door. Doing so magically would be no different than going at it with a lockpicking set. You're breaking and entering, so you're going to get in trouble if you're caught.

From a Mechanical/OOC Standpoint: We will never allow a character to actually break into another student's dorm without the express permission of involved parties. We will also provide a roll to see if the culprit is caught if they desire, or if the offense is particularly chaotic/hard to miss.

Mainly we want to enable scenarios where, for instance, someone's sibling or best friend is constantly bursting into their dorm unannounced, or where students from the same year drop in on each other frequently, if that's a dynamic that has been agreed upon. Peckenpaugh administration is respecting student autonomy and assuming that students will be respectful to each other, but it is within the power of the staff to change things and amp up security if a problem presents.
