Hey all, Well, as I hoped, I've received a few compliments... and some flames on the issue of this forum. As always, I ignore the idiotic flames, usually vulgar and inappropriate for me to write here. However, a few very reasonable people talked with me (you know who you are, thanks), and I've decided to make a few small rules, which I will write down soon. This is so the discussions in this forum will not become a menace to the game of Carrion Fields. I originally wanted to make this page to help out the newer people to this game. I remember being a newbie, so stupid I didn't know the way to Camelot :) Nobody helped me out in the game, so I came across Strahd's page. The maps and other bits of information were a great help for my gaming experience, and eventually when Strahd shut down his page, I wanted to make one to help others. The item lists and such are good for the newer people to find out the worth of stuff they pick up... or, occasionally, a veteran might find something they've never come across before, and want the stats on it. Now that I have made this forum, open to anything Carrion Fields, some are afraid that secret information might be released, and bad things will happen in CF (such as a certain area being closed because of a certain post). I agree with this: even though this forum is meant to help others with the game, you should discover some information on your own, in the game. The openness and freedom of this Forum will still be intact, however, certain very 'secret' things I will not allow to be posted. These are such as quests, locations of wands, the identities of characters (unless you are revealing your own), and such. If you come across something you want to post, use your own good judgment to think if it is appropriate to be made public to a large forum reading audience. The backup will be of course the forum admins and I, where we may have to delete the posts revealing too much. So far, nothing of this sort has been posted here, even before I set these rules, and I’m happy about that. I hope it stays that way... So please abide by the new rules, keep posting, and have fun. Dioxide out :)
