OOC: Use of this forum

[Talir]

To help volunteers working on updating the new player information and documentation of mechanical changes otherwise not properly mentioned by lazy DMs I've made this forum for the information section to help you organize the contributions.

Remember that information to be placed here is strictly in an OOC fashion to help document what mechanical changes have been done on EFU. It is not meant to reveal secrets about the gameworld or things that it would be more fun to experience and try for yourself.

Example of good use:

Bardsong has been changed on EFU to include 40 different songs and curses. After purchasing your songbook you may discover song sheets that you can absorb into the book, making you able to play that song instead of the default one. Perform has been changed to extend the duration of the bardsong instead of determining the bonus given.

Example of bad use:

The Bloodstone deep in the Well of Eternal Despair requires a vial of a PC blood to activate. Any good-aligned blood donated will cause the Marquis of the Seven Terrors to give you 10,000 XP once but giving your own or evil-aligned blood will cause you to die immediately.

Volunteers who wish to help moderate the content, feel free to contact me.

I would hasten to add that the formatting of your posts should ensure the document is easy to read.

E.g.

Succinct headings, formatted in a clear and regimented fashion.

Post titles, similarly, should be clear and not misleading. Spelling, punctuation and basic grammar within the documents are fundamental. It does not make the information players require any easier to decipher if threads and posts are jumbled, borne of misinformation, mis-labeled, hard to read or irrelevant.

Enjoy, and thank you.

Ditto.

May I suggest making a sticky "Request thread" where anyone can post topics that they'd like veteran players to post insight on? Aside from being practical for people who want to contribute or find information here, it might also reduce the load on the "DM Questions and Answers" forum.

Please us the #efucompendium channel on IRC for this purpose. People are in there all day.
