New Forum addition: Letters to NPCs Forum

[Random_White_Guy]

I'm not certain it's something that is even wanted or desired but I've heard a lot of talk in #efu with people concerned over the limited space for postings in many of the IC character forums. While in the past the [DM] tag was something that people used to get DM attention at the rate things travel in EFU it's entirely possible these get lost in the shuffle and otherwise as within a few days 3-5 pages of the forums can fill up.

Just a new forum similar to letters and so on in which PCs could address letters to NPCs for DM attention or contact is just a suggestion I'd have.

Not only removing the need for [DM] tags, getting lost in the day to day shuffle, etc but also something where the dreaded practice of people going [BUMP] for DM input can be removed as an entirely new forum can just be scanned at a DM's leisure for IC contact with Pcs.

Actually this might be a good idea.

Make it DM viewable only, maybe? Like it is with apps and private discussions.

I believe that should do it.

Why is it DM viewable only? Make it viewable to everyone, it's part of our collective experience to dip into the stories of others. Else we'd all be sending our fellow players PM and not make use of the letter forum...

For stuff you deem overly spoilerific, just add a link to the letter that goes into your PCN. this is a much better way to keep things under wraps.

I second this. We are a mature enough community to not need to worry so much about metagaming what is in a forum, but overall it adds to the enjoyment to "see" what is going on.
