TOPIC | It's been 82 (9, really) years
Hey folks. I haven't written a forum post in a literal decade, and never one on FR, so bare with me. (And bare with my extremely plain profile, I have no clue what the customization is like and am too afraid now to figure it out)

I'm Cya, a returnee to FR who dropped off the site after going through the hell that is post secondary education a decade ago, and am now returning back to procrastinate and feed my obsession with collecting shiny things.

I'm an artist, a TTRPG nerd and game master, and work in the game dev industry sorta kinda. I love to write and rp, but I haven't done text rp in a while and no longer have any partners these days unfortunately for it. I'd love to find a friend for that, but I also am very shy in forums, so who knows if that will happen.

I love monsters. Not just dragons, but any creature or being that is inhuman in some way. The more eldritch the better, but I also just love aesthetics and pretty things (see the previous comment about collecting shiny things). Because of that I'm really excited about all these ancient dragons that are new to me, and have been randomly snapping those up as my lair opens up space.

Although my lair has many pretty children, I admit my favorite is still my starter pair. I made them goth and edgy and they just look very elegant, if a little plain. I've never made any lore for any of my dragons, but if anyone deserves some it's them. Maybe I'll get around to that now that I'm back.

I'm not sure what else to add here so I'll sign off here. Happy to meet everyone and looking forward to (hopefully) sticking around a lot longer this time.

Oh boy thank you so much for all the guides! I shall have to go through some of these because even when I was playing regularly I was sure not doing things efficiently.

Being consistent with rp really is the struggle. It was easier for me when I was in an rp group but even then there would be long hiatuses.

I have been wondering about whether to keep my older dragons or not (didn't realise there was a whole group for that!) so I have unfortunately already sold or exalted some. Whoops. I shall take a look and see if any of my old children are of interest to folks.

Thanks again!

And as an example of how much I don't remember, look at me forgetting to @Islet

Whoops.

Glad the guides were helpful! <3

Ah, yep. Rp with students from all different studies feels like a planning nightmare, but it's prly slightly easier to plan than online participants with different work schedules =v=;;;

Oof, I know g1s (7-digits or less, preferably with a good looking ID number), especially the ones that are unbred, are worth more than (bred) g2+! If you had a g1 (like that) that you exalted, you can restore it. You can restore only one so choose wisely!

@Islet Oh that's good to know! Looks like the ones I've recently exalted are all 8-digits so there's that at least.

Although #11642464 is a very pleasing id so maybe ill bring her back, even if she's not the most pretty aesthetically.

Hi Cya, I’m BunnySox, I'm in Wind Flight, and a very breezy, warm welcome to FR!!

I joined in the reg window a month after you, and my early pages in my lair look very similar to yours -- Imperials, Skydancers, etc. I've still got all my OC's; plus lots of new Ancients, too!!

I'm old school DND 3.5 TTRPG, although haven't had a game in awhile, due to IRL stuff.

This is stuff I usually tell new players, but maybe will help get you back up to speed quicklyl?

There’s a lot of things to do here on FR, lots of choices and activities -- breeding, buying/selling, collectibles of all kinds, Coliseum, dress-up, art shops, hatcheries, raffles and festivals, role-play, storytelling, on and on.

And a fantastic community!!

After you've played a bit, you'll start to discover what you enjoy most!!

If you feel a bit shy about asking for free things...no worries. FR's community is very generous and very helpful to everyone, and especially new players.

We want you to stay!!! :D

Here’s a few quick tips you might find useful…
  • you’ll find that you won’t need tons of money right away -- there are free dragons (and free stuff) everywhere...check out the Raffles & Giveaways forums…I'll link you some personal faves below...
  • give each dragon a Familiar & bond with Familiars daily, for a bit of treasure and some treasure chest rewards as they level up
  • keep your dragons well-fed -- over 80% at all times -- to get your daily well-fed bonuses
  • Which Waystone (Library menu, left) suggests daily activities and tasks for you, helping you explore the vast world of Sornieth
  • under Library / Forums, 1st column, halfway down, are your Shadow Flight-only forums. Introduce yourself to your fellow "InkDrops" and see what goodies / assistance your Flight offers their new players
    -- if you Discord, this is where you request Flight server access
  • Guide to FR Abbreviations will help you understand “forum-speak”
  • to reply to someone on a Forum thread, just type @username and they'll get a notification
  • the geniuses at Tiny Little Questions save me all the time -- bookmark them, I'm serious!! xD
  • upper right corner next to your u/n, down arrow, you'll find your Account Settings -- this is where you set up a Forum Signature, Avatar, & Vista…and also where you can Log Out

I’m a long-time player, on daily, so lmk if I can help in any way!!

Enjoy your dragons!!

@BunnySox Hi!

I really don't know how I have so many skydancers tbh, I remember so little of what I was doing prior to my hiatus haha. I've got a couple that I'm for sure keeping for the longterm now though.

I love how colourful your dragons are!

I started with 5e (well, I played one oneshot in 4e but I dont really count that), but I've recently started exploring other systems too. I'm a forever DM so I kept resisting having to figure out a whole new system and then prep for it. I especially want to get back into VtM but, similar to you, IRL has made scheduling a real hassle.

Thanks for the guides! I'll take a look and see if theres anything new to me :3
