07-16-07, 01:44 PM I'll try to avoid being too spoilery, but I'm kind of confused by one of the story objects I've gotten recently. It gives some items in the future, and has this to say about them:

These items come directly from your leaders, are recorded as event treasure, and count as if you had purchased them normally (meaning they refresh each adventure as usual).

Does this mean once the conditions are triggered, I get the items for the rest of that one con and then they're gone (because of the conditions, that could easily mean I never get them..) or do I get them every adventure from then on?

07-16-07, 02:51 PM I think they meant come from your Equipment Value since it says "As if you had purchased them normally". I think they are considered 'event treasure' while at the con then become part of your Equipment Value (EV) and refresh.

07-16-07, 05:04 PM I agree. I'm guessing the term 'event treasure' is somewhat superfluous here.

07-16-07, 06:33 PM Looks to me like you get them when it triggers and then get them every time from then on and don't have to pay for them. Definitely needs some clarification though.

Not saying he's wrong, just that I think he couldn't think of a better term?

07-17-07, 09:27 AM OK, here's how that story object works. After the conditions of the story object are met--that is, after you play your next Faction adventure--you get the items listed. They refresh each time you play a session thereafter, just as if you purchased them with EV. However, they are RECORDED AS EVENT TREASURE. That is, you write them in your Adventure Journal as if they were Event Treasure from a previous session you had just played.

Does that make sense to anyone but me? :-B

07-17-07, 09:57 AM Yes, thanks Shawn! Do we have to write them in as Event Treasure for every mod after that or just the one time as documentation?

It does, thank you. I would have handled it differently, as Event Treasure is supposed to go away (absorbed into EV) at the end of the Event, so it'd be a wierd exception/special case. But at least I understand now what the story object does and how to handle it.

Does it only refresh if you are at a multi-session event? Or does my next game a month later, I get the stuff too?

07-17-07, 08:46 PM It makes sense, but do they get it only when they get event treasure? ie, when the previous adventure was not reported? Or always, and that they will get the item as event treasure regardless of the status of their previous adventure?

If it is the latter, why not just say: "For every adventure after the next factional adventure you play, you get a free XXX which is in addition to your EV purchases and does not count to your EV"??

I don't know. I didn't write it. I am interpreting it. It refreshes every session (every adventure). Write it in your adventure journal as if it was event treasure.
