The new rulebook for January 2024 has been posted here: https://www.darkon.org/index.php/rulebook/

All changes made since July are in BLUE text. The changes include:

  • Bards gaining the ability to make 1 Scroll per event
  • Aluminum chainmail becoming legal if made to 16 gauge chainmail specs
  • The removal of weapon cover color restrictions
  • Removing the requirement for countries to bring banners to check-in
  • Order of the Eagle no longer automatically granting Nobility (this has never happened)
  • Golden Spud being able to be awarded for a new player over 24 months as opposed to 12
  • Returning the ability of Mending to mend Skin Armor
  • Rogue’s Interrogate shortened to 1 minute
  • Changes to Druid spells Entangle and Mending
  • Delve and Salvage additions and changes to the Land Rules
  • Quarterstaffs of any size now usable by Devoted Clerics
  • Several other minor Rogue changes
  • A ruling that Rangers and Barbarians don’t actually grow large when they gain stand vs. giants
  • A ruling on Skin Armor refreshing from Scrolls but not Potions (now in the spell text)
  • A ruling that Glaives can be used as Bars. This allows for Druid Shillelagh to be maximally useful.
  • And last but not least, the complete revamp of the Cavalier as the new Paladin class

Please take the time to familiarize yourself with new and old rules! Please feel free to ping me with any questions.
