> Nepenthe's scary lil' note today reminded me.... > Can the 'area introduction' notes be made accessible to the players on a long-term basis somehow? I'd like to see them as either as helpfiles (help Nyathl Ikalith, etc.), or as an extension of the 'areas' command (area nyathl ikalith). > A lot of those notes get me psyched to explore an area, beyond the usual "Hmm. I guess I've never heard of Gwefwg Xwrkgnl Qsgvg. I'll walk the earth like Kane from Kung Fu until my dumb ass stumbles onto it." kind of way. This would be especially nice for a character with an unusual role (*cough*), to help them pinpoint places they might want to visit to flesh out their Theran experience. (Especially if their player has been doing a crappy job of late.) > Whether or not they include help towards finding the area is strictly optional. But it would be cool even without that, so new(er) players can get a feel for what's out there. > (Failing this, this would make a cool project for Dawn. Keep a big exploration list in the Haven so Servants can be all helpful.) > - PB, actually quite fond of walking the earth like Kane from Kung Fu. > Credit to whoever first suggested this on the Forum. I couldn't find the original post. =( I owe them some form of shout out, or whatever it is that those crazy kids do these days.
actualy i stumbled onto this when i typed in some random search and got a list of topics with numbers, but regardless try typing help 1 or help 23 most of the low numbers are areas, also try help arial city or help holy grove most of the areas get help files with them to basically describe the area itself.
