New Kids on the block

We've all been there--newbies, neophytes, first-timers--new players in the game. Fun & weird at the same time. Fun to finally be IN the game building your character & interacting with the other players. Weird because you don't wanna goof & have somebody yell at you. (What? Us? Yell? Never!)

Like I said, we've all been there. We know what it's like. So please please please, when you have questions, ASK! The moderators are just players, and there's usually always at least one around to help out. (They won't bite, honest. Well, at least not too hard...)

For all the current KTDARPG newbies, a few words of advice:

1--Read the "How to Post" & "Rules" files in the file section of the game website. Lots of good stuff in there. Read at least a little bit of the story digest, too. That'll help you get a feel for our game-world & the characters who currently live there.

2--Spend some time reading the current posts, so you can get an idea of the flow of the story & the rhythm of the game.

3--Remember this IS a game AND a story. You're helping us build the story one step at a time. You have to hold up your part & give other characters something--an action, a question, a conversation--SOMETHING to react TO. (Those things we refer to as 1-liners may be easy but they're hard as hell for another player to work with.) Hold up your end of the game & the action. Picture the scene in your mind...and then be a real part of it.

4--We're working to be as realistic inside the game-world as we can, so use all of your character's senses. Sight, sound, smell, touch, taste ... the world has substance. Make your character come alive!
