Follow-Up (October Announcements!)

[labyrinmods]

Hey, it's Yon here! Just wanted to follow up on some of the feedback we received on our monthly announcement post, so here's a few updates. Most were discussed in the replies, but in case you missed them...

Network and Mingle
The previously-mentioned network disruption, and the removal of Sleepr without Vaeros to run it, left many concerned about the lack of an IC mingle for new players and CR building. It's a valid concern! We've come to two decisions as a result:

• First, starting January, we will be replacing Sleepr with another network-based social event! Once the network comes back online, we'll be tweaking the formula for a new app that takes the same role/provides similar opportunities for CR-building.
  
  
• Second, since the Network won't be online this month, we're going to be adding an in-person mingle for the entire game, also designed with an eye toward social interactions and CR-building without event-based interference.

Bulletin Board
There has also been some discussion of using communal bulletin boards and similar resources to pass messages during the period when the network is down. This is totally encouraged, and you can approach it however would be easiest for you. If you want to simply append bulletin board posts to the logs they pertain to (ie add an invitation to the toplevel of a party log), that works great! If you want to just have a poster or flyer by itself as a network post for people to see, that's fine, too! If it would be easier simply want to handwave that characters used a bulletin board to coordinate a gathering or something, hey, whatever's easiest for you.

Information Pages
Finally, the updating of our OOC info pages has taken a backseat to the writing of ongoing events, but we'll be adding two more by November. First, since we're now nearly two years into the game, we're going to be posting a Timeline page that will be updated with an overview of in-game events for the reference of newer players. Second, in response to concerns about IC information pages/documents, we'll be providing a monthly space specifically for players to share IC documents in order to ensure that all players will be able to access them. This also gives you a month to make 'em and pretty 'em up if you're so inclined!

Thank you for your patience!

Locations and the bestiary/NPC guide are next to be updated after we add the timeline, but we may not be done by November.

The FAQ is... uh... a lot. To summarize. It's almost certainly going to be the last one.
