    Let Your Freak Flag Fly!!!!



    A flag can represent many things, from Hope to Freedom, Honor to Respect, an Idea, or even directions from deck crews.  Shop has mad respect for all the front line workers, military personnel, and those who work in essential services keeping our countries running in these hard times.  


    But our mad respect and pride doesn’t stop there, it continues on for our Community.  We’re proud of the accomplishments other divisions have, whether it’s winning a tournament, to someone getting promoted, a commendation being issued, a division launching, or even just something simple as knowing this is a safe place for people to come together and enjoy playing games with each other and have fun.  We take pride in our community.


    With that being said, we’d like to now help you all show off your pride in our gaming community, The TAW FLAG!!!  That’s right, it’s finally here!  Head on over to our Team Store and get yours today.  If your forget to use the link we just gave you, use the coupon code TAW.



    Please remember, average production times are 3-6 weeks.  Shop staff does not know the stages of production is in or when it will be shipped, for that you’ll have to contact Cranium Support at support@craniumapparel.co.


    Please remember to fill out our Verification Form to receive a tab for your purchase.

    2021 Fundraiser Results

    Howdy howdy everyone!


    For the 2021 Fundraiser we broke yet another record in amount raised. 


    We raised……




    This effort put forward is a push in the right direction to get our website completed and ensure that The Art of Warfare continues on into the new year. This also highlights the generosity of our community in coming together when it’s needed. You all also guarantee that TAW can continue to provide you all with a place to game, talk, and hangout.


    This effort wouldn’t have been possible without all of those that helped behind the scenes, more so to the tremendous help from the following divisions.


    • MID - The streaming events that crackles’s team put together helped raise about a quarter of the donation contributions this year. It also helped greatly with marketing the fundraiser to TAW while the event was running.

    • ER - The events that MrHazz’s team put together during the 20th TAW anniversary was a fantastic launching pad for the fundraiser and helped immensely with marketing it.

    • SHOP - With the awesome effort from Baron and his team, we saw a new shop get released with new merchandise. The commission we made from this new shop was a great addition to money made for the fundraiser.


    Finally, a HUGE thank you to all that donated/subscribed/purchased during the 2021 Fundraiser. Treasury will be working diligently to hand out the awards to everyone that filled out the survey form by this coming weekend. Remember, thanks to our anonymous donor where all donations are considered doubled. 


    If you filled out the form and didn’t receive your earned commendations or if you didn’t fill out the survey form and would like to be awarded for participating in the fundraiser, just send us an email at treas@taw.net or find us in TeamSpeak.

     

    Thank you all again and have a fantastic rest of your day.

    D&D One-Shot Event Player Sign up! LIVE

     


    D&D One-Shot Event: Player Sign ups

     

    Session sign ups are finished! Have fun playing! 


    Incase you missed our first post, we here at the Events Resources division are running a Dungeons and Dragons One-shot event with the help of the Tabletop Roleplay division. We’ve finally assembled our team of eager Dungeon Masters and are ready to open up player sign ups!

     

    Since we’ve had a lot of interest and aren't sure if we can accommodate everyone we’re doing sign ups on a come first come served basis. You can find the Session descriptions and times here and we’ll be opening sign ups on the 25th April at 20:00 GMT . We ask that you try your best to sign up to a session that both appeals to you and that you as a player fit.

     

     

     

    How It's going to work:

     

     

    The session sign ups once released at 20:00 GMT will stay live until all slots for that session are filled (or it gets too close to the start time to accept new players). You are only allowed to sign up to one session but can sign up another TAW member with their permission if they are unable to do themselves (Please choose the “Sign up for me plus a friend” option and precede your name with how many people including yourself you are signing up for. E.g (2) Lilgreyshark for me and 1 other member.

     

    Please take note of how many people have already signed up and how many player slots are available for that session. If you sign up to a session that is already full by accident or due to server lags we will do our best to find space to accommodate you in a different session but cannot guarantee we’ll be able to. It is best to check your slot is confirmed by refreshing the page or reopening the link in a separate window or tab.

     

    The links when the sign ups go live will be edited into this post for your convenience. If you would like a reminder of when the links go live our player mailing list is still active here.

     

    You can find the session descriptions here. Once you have signed up your Dungeon Master and myself will be in contact via your TAW email. You as a player MUST BE READY TO RESPOND TO THE DM. No Dungeon master is going to be badgering you but the game does require some prep work. If you are a new player or don't have the time to prepare your character myself and the lovely RP Division are on standby with help and some premade characters.

    MAYDAY IS PLAY DAY!

    D&D One-Shot Event INFO

     


    D&D One-Shot Event 2021

     

    In your intrepid adventures on the internet it's likely you've stumbled upon, always wanted to play, or have adventured in the TableTop role-play game that is Dungeons and Dragons, but did you know we have our own Tabletop Roleplay Game Division here in TAW, who not only play D&D but also TTRPGs every week? Well if you didn't (and even if you did) the Roleplay Division wants you to know that they are always welcoming new players or guests to their games! They even have a whole discord server.

     

     

    What's even more exciting is the RP division is teaming up with us in the Event Resources Division to bring you a day of D&D one-shots to play in.

     

     

    The event will take place on the 1st May 2021 with sessions running throughout the day, so no matter what time zone you're in you have a chance to take part!

     

    What to expect:

     

     

    Firstly MAY DAY IS PLAY DAY - The games will be held on 1st May 2021, and the start time of each game will vary depending on the Dungeon Master's time-zone. However, all games will run for roughly 3-4 hours each, starting between 15:00 - 01:00 GMT. Our Dungeon Masters come from all over the world so no matter your time-zone there should be a game for you to join.

     

     

    The sessions themselves will all vary as the best D&D sessions do, but all will roughly comprise of 1 DM and 4 Players with a story that can come to a satisfying end within the 3-4 hour time frame.

     

    Lastly, signing up as a Dungeon Master or a player will be done differently to reflect the difference in prep needed for play day. Dungeon masters will need to fill a sign-up form here and players will get a chance to sign up later. Once we have the DM numbers and how many sessions we can run organized, we will open up player sign-up, details of which can be found here. DM SIGN UPS ARE CLOSED

     

     

    Since we can’t explain it all in a single blog post head over here for the full details and the FAQ!

    Alternate Color Survey


    By now, many of you have seen our new Cranium Shop.  Our new shop is home to some amazing looking apparel (as shown below).  


    Please remember when buying from Cranium Shop, use the provided link or coupon code TAW.  Then head on over to our Shop Verification Form and fill it out for us to issue you a Swagster Tab.




    So, the apparel shown above, is our Pro Gear Line Up.  They are Dye Sublimated, so there is no worries of the images cracking/peeling because it is not an iron on graphic.  People have already been coming to Shop staff and asking if they can get the pro gear in different colors (it really didn’t take long for people to start asking us).  So Shop staff has decided that we want to hear from you, the members of TAW, on what you want to see as an alternate color set up.  We will be looking into and considering the most requested color patterns.  So if you want to see the alternate jersey/hoodie as a white instead of the black, purple instead of the red, and green instead of the grey...let us know.  PLEASE DO NOT USE COLOR WHEEL CODES!!!!  We will not be taking the time to look those up.  Put in red, blue, magenta, fuschia,  puce, teal, honeybee yellow.  If you can find the name for the color, put it in.  By all means, if it’s “chocolate cosmos”, please feel free to write “Chocolate Cosmos (Red)” so we understand it’s a shade of red.

    All responses will be seen by Shop staff and their CoC.


    Please fill out THIS FORM to let us know what colors you want to see on alternate jersey/hoodie.

    TAW SHOP - What you NEED to know


    By now, many of you have seen that the Shop Team is currently operating 3 Shops (NA, EU, and our new Cranium store.


           

     

    YOU MUST USE THE LINKS PROVIDED FOR TAW TO GET COMMISSIONS.  ESPECIALLY FOR CRANIUM!!!!  ALTERNATIVELY, ON CRANIUM ONLY, YOU CAN USE THE COUPON CODE TAW.


    Because we’re running 3 stores right now, we updated our wiki to still showcase the information for the Spreadshirt Shops (US & EU Shops), but also to include our new Cranium Shop.  There is a lot of important information found on the Shop Wiki which can be found by clicking on the link provided or by clicking on Wiki’s from the main TAW home page -> Wikis -> Membership Resource Corps -> TAW Shop Information.


    As many of you know, we are still in our annual fundraiser.  Purchasing from the Shop also acts as if you’ve made a donation, but you need to fill out the Verification Form for it to qualify, as we send weekly reports to Treasury right now and have to verify the purchase.  Our form lets us know who the member is, what they bought, when, what Shop.  We do not see your personal details, payment method, etc.  So please, fill it out.


    Now, getting on to apparel.  


    Our 20th Anniversary line up, which is found in the NA & EU Shops, will only be there until the end of the Fundraiser.  Then, like those 2 Shops, they will disappear.  So if you want ANYTHING from either of those 2 Shops, get it while you can.  Shop will be closing those doors on APRIL 20th of 2021.


    As for our Cranium Apparel, please use the links provided on our TAW Site, or in TeamSpeak.  If you forget and just go to Cranium website and co to purchase anything, please be sure to use the Coupon Code: TAW.  This ensures that TAW gets the credit for the sale.

    We also have a ton of new stuff recently added to the Cranium Store, including our new Coffee Mug (check out Blog Post by Amathist, Shop’s PIA).  We still have a couple items on their way, including the new Shop Flag, and those should be in the Cranium store later this week.  But if you want to see our full line up, click the Cranium logo above and head on over.  But here’s our Pro Line Up for you.
