Just dropping a thread for the required introduction. I think I posted occasionally back around 2005/6.

It was pretty good coming back after a while and getting to finish reading the Hereti-corp/Oasis arc in one fell swoop.

The current story arc has also been quite winsome too with decent pacing and not being tied down by all the other story connections has made it feel a little more free as an adventure, but with enough space for the characters to breathe and talk about how it relates to other things like Gwynn and escaping magic, and the anima tapestry maybe being like the web of fate.

Welcome (back) to the forum RowenMorland!

Yes, the current story arc is a little more slower paced you could say. Well, you are now stuck on "normal" speed. No more binging for you.

Anyway [member's name here], now I will tell you about the strange tradition aimed at newcomers.

At one time there were Pesterers who pestered you for poetry, but that tends to be very rare nowadays. Even though you may not be pestered, if you do go and post an original poem --usually haiku but any (clean) type is accepted-- written by you, you will most likely receive a gift in return. The "gift" will most likely be useless or maim you. Whichever it may be, it should be interesting and surprising. Lastly, this strange tradition applies to the pestering not the poetry. You are not required to do anything more to be a member here...unless you want to possibly get a [name of harmlessly fatal item here] or some other type of gift.

Now go forth and do (almost) whatever you want, just don't speculate in Reactions.

Welcome back

Into the slow, but oh so inevitable decline of forums.sluggy.com!

No poetry. No gift.

POOF!
