Chimeron’s annual masquerade ball in celebration of the Day of the Dead. The day will be filled with great food, plot teasers, and fun tournaments (new and old). 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!
Sir Sagart and the Order of the Crescent will be hosting a Stacked Deck poker tournament at the Black and White this year! Official start time is 1pm with some flexibility (we will start as soon as we have 8 signed up players), but we must finish before court so once we have 8 signed players we can start earlier. 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 10 gold. This 10 gold will go directly to the dealer as a tip. Six 30-minute blinds will be used.
REBUYS: unlimited 25 gold rebuys and 10 gold tip option 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 and a 10 gold tip option for an additional 1000 chips.
Start getting excited for Black and White’s annual baking contest! As with previous years, competitors should bake their creations beforehand, to be judged at Black and White itself.
This year, the challenge is cookies made without wheat flour. This can include (but is not limited to) potato, rice, and nut flours. OF NOTE, please do not include peanuts in any of your submissions.
Please see the following link for more details, including rules and how to register!

In addition:
We are seeking desserts for the dessert 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. One may enter the competition and contribute additional desserts, but neither are required in order to do the other. If you would like to bring a dessert please let me know at least a week in advance of the event (so by the 31st of October) as I would like to print out allergen information. Alternatively printing your own allergen information would be much appreciated.
(Do not include peanuts in the non-competition desserts either, please.)
You can reach me best preferably on discord (@KellyPerfetto) or secondarily email (perfettok@comcast.net).
Dietary restrictions should be pre-regged by 10/28. If you reg a dietary restriction and do not receive a list of "safe" dishes by 11/02, please let me (Ian) know. Common alergens will be noted placards as per usual.
All Chimeron events enforce an expanded code of conduct, which can be found here: https://chimeron.realmsnet.net/laws/oocrules.html
Special calls and regional effects will be announce at the event.
Please park in the lower lot (Child Development Center), as there is very little space in the upper lot and we need to save it for staff (since they are transporting event stuff / staying late to clean up) and those who really need to park close. If you need to confirm you fall into one of those categories, please contact me.
