Welcome to the new game system!

Every month, a calendar will be put up with events and more, including top comments for questions, plotting and other things - and will be pinned to the OOC community for easy access.

The quest page will be pinned to the main community as always.

Weekly updates will now be more sporadic news like this, posted when characters unlock quest steps, something happens to the tree that isn't covered in the calendar, and things that are player-generated. This also includes mod notes and such.

Hopefully this will help people plan better and make an easier overview of the game!

• Currently we're working on a page for Tone's dust fountain for easier access to all the dust information.

Mod Opening! We need a mod to help with lists and updates. Inquire via mod e-mail.

• Would things be even simpler for players if we put OOC instructions on how to solve the quests, or do you prefer to figure them out?

The calendar looks great!

I'm finding part of the fun of the quest is working things out, so I'd prefer to keep quest things as they are.

+1 to working things out! Figuring out the riddles is definitely a lot of fun. (That said if we're really stuck I'm not opposed to being able to ask for help.)

+2! I think if we're obviously in need of some help then pointing us in the right direction or even just giving us a little hint would be a good idea, but otherwise it's nice to have a chance to work the riddles out ourselves.

+3 to figuring things out! I'm going to have Jo do her best to work with her own handicaps of being both belligerent and not especially intelligent with riddles and such! I'm sure that there will be other places where she can be useful and in the meantime I'm going to try to get her riding others' coat-tails until she can be.

Also agreeing with what Fuu-mun said about giving hints if we seem especially stuck. Sometimes we might not realize we're all barking up the wrong tree (har har har) but if that's the case, IC hints would be preferable to OOC notes.
