First off, Egregore is a secret supernatural battle between good and evil that is going on all around you. It's been happening for some time now, you just didn't know about. Now it's time to pick a side and join the battle.

Egregore is a game. It has the mystery of murder mystery dinners, the seeking of a scavenger hunt, the interaction of a role playing game or MMO and the social interaction of an online social game. It's played in real life, in and around the Kingston area. It is also played online on the social networks. Sound confusing? It isn't. Just read on.

This is a secret war with many players, most of who will be unknown to you. To play the game you must gather clues and information to find out what is going on (we call this the storyline), gather resources to make yourself and your friends more powerful and go on missions that will help decide the battle between good and evil and change the game for everyone else that is playing. 

This might sound like a lot, and it is, which is why you play on a team of your friends called a faction. Together you can pool resources and information and decide who wants to follow up on which leads. 

Now you may be looking at all the rules and shaking a little in your long johns, but don't worry. Most of these rules pertain to combat, which doesn't happen often and most of these rules won't be used until you've been playing for a while. The "What do I do after I join" section has more information on what rules you should eventually read. It's OK to go into Egregore completely lost. It's like playing a computer game. You don't know all the rules before you start, you learn them as you go along. 

OK, that's the basics. I know, you are still saying, “Wait! How do I actually play?” First we are going to give you an example of play so this all makes sense…

7/20 - We are working on getting everything ready for the second season we will be right on time for the launch of the second season, named The March of Legion, in early August. The web site has been cleaned up and made easier to navigate. Some minor rules have been changed. For the second season anyone sixteen or older will be allowed to join, they no longer need an invitation. The second law has also been changed slightly, making it more in line with what we did the first season. More changes will be made in the next couple of weeks so check back often.

5/3 - It's the day of the big event, 8:00 tonight. Be sure to bring your character sheet or internet device and bring any sleepers you may have. The sixth sleeper has been found. The fourth and seventh sleepers are still out there.

5/1 - We are at the very end of the first season. For those who don't already know the end of season in-character event is this Tuesday at 8:00 PM. Hopefully you have figured out the location by now. As for the seventh and last sleeper...
The Seventh Sleeper (FOUND)
We are short on time so no further rhymes
I am under the right foot of the tyrant king.
By the way, be sure to bring your sleepers and character sheets (or internet device) to the end of season event.

4/22 - The fifth sleeper has been found, the fourth sleeper is still missing. The riddle for the sixth sleeper is...
The Sixth Sleeper (FOUND)
I'm on the land of a German noble,
Choose the right section, F is for foible,
Under the chained tree, as if its mobile,
Hidden beneath bark just like a roble.

4/15 - Well it looks like I finally hid a sleeper hard enough, the fourth sleeper still hasn't been found. Here is the riddle for the fifth...
The Fifth Sleeper (FOUND)
Begin at the last car in the line
Cross the pointe, the fellows keep it fine
Do not go on land that is not mine
First on the right that isn't a pine.
