Mandatory Game Shifts
Because of the size of our game, we rely on each other to provide the maximum amount of entertainment possible. In order to keep track of that we have something called a "work chit", which is a red tag you will get at check in with your name on it. Once you have completed one of the following tasks for the game, you will get that chit signed, and then place it in your check out envelope when you leave. This will allow you to obtain your character’s build blanket. (Shadowmoor Rulebook pg. 215)
Monster Shift
One of the highlights of Shadowmoor is being able to kill and loot monsters. This combat shift allows you to play that monster with no consequence to your player character. You will be assigned stats and loot and sent out to interact with Shadowmoorians. This is a fantastic opportunity to try new things (like different weapon combinations or spell verbals) and gain hands-on learning. A monster shift is a minimum of 2 hours, but may be split into quarter hour sessions.
