The Welcome Super Topic

Hi, everyone. My wife just linked me to the introductory content, and while outside of taking the test (I’m a Thornmouth by the by,) and reading the few paragraphs of history attached to that, I’m not really caught up on anything, I figured I’d stop by and say hello while I took the time to catch up.

On the outside I’m a nuclear chem tech, though thanks to the adverse schedule attached to that (swings,) my ability to interview willing, that may not be a true statement for much longer. It’s been awhile since I’ve really read a lot of books, but I’ve been powering through audiobooks and podcasts both in my commute to work and in any time when I’m occupied in a task that my brain doesn’t necessarily have to be (working more than full time does a number on your free time.)

I’m really intrigued by the community storytelling aspect of this. I’ve been active on the Storium site before and really enjoyed it (VestigialLung on there,) but life has a way of getting in the way, so I’ve had to step away from the regular time commitment that the site requires.

Got a fair amount of reading in front of me, but I’ve also got a particularly slow set of nights coming up at work, so I look forward to catching up while on the clock.

Welcome to the Ackerly Green Community @Kvornir and welcome to Thornmouth @Psychopomp! I’m Void, one of the Thornmouth Wagoneers.

To get started here on the forum make sure you read the initial post of this thread and the forum primer linked there, as those will give you the basic rules and info for getting around. Once you’ve done that you can start getting involved in our many discussion topics such as your job (I’m looking at you Psycopomp), D&D, video games, and book recommendations.

After you’ve been active on the forum for a few hours you’ll be able to interact with the guild page, where you can introduce yourselves to your new guildmates: here for @Kvornir and here for @Psychopomp. Your guild leaders are @Nimueh and @Helios for Balimora, and @Sellalellen for Thornmouth. Feel free to message them or any of us @Wagoneers if you need help with anything. @Rimor and I are the Wagoneers at the moment. There is also a Q&A for any further questions you may have.

We’re all very happy to have you here, and hope you enjoy being part of the magiq!

I think it should also be mentioned that my painting, titled ‘The Four Elements’, just won at my local county fair. I found out the same day this all happened. Just leaving this here for posterity.

Hi there!

My name’s Aschu, and I’m a pretty outgoing college student with a (at least I’d like to say) knack for creating pretty decent amateur drawings, love of dogs, and super power of always waking up at 6 am regardless of whether I went to bed at 3 am or not.

I was sorted into Balimora! It seems very interesting, and I’m sure I’ll love it- it’s just odd for me to wrap my head around the symbolism a bit because I’ve been trained to associate nature with stability rather than chaos, but honestly I welcome that new train of thought.

We do have a video game topic that you may enjoy. It doesn’t look like we have a topic for anime, but if you want to start one I’m sure there would be interest in it.

Welcome to the forum, @Mikasol!

I’m one of the Ebenguard guild leaders, along with @Ginger. Any questions you may find yourself with while poking around the forum, feel free to reach out to either of us or our Wagoneers.

We have our Q&A topic here, our guild hall welcome topic here (which may or may not be locked to posting in for a little while, depending on exactly how long/how much browsing the forum requires to go up from the super-new-person level). The top post on this thread has some good info too, though I’m sure you’ve seen it. :endriwink:

Look forward to seeing you around! :laurensmile:

Just stumbled upon all of this through a friend’s link on Facebook. Took my quiz and was sorted into Balimora. I read the other guild descriptions in the wiki and though I feel drawn to aspects of other guilds, this one seems to resonate with me. (I’m a social worker, so the Gossmere guild felt philosophically right - but I’m also a bit chaotic and trust where the Universe leads me, even when it doesn’t appear “correct” on the surface… so Balimora it is!)

I have not finished reading everything yet - it will likely take me a bit. I’m open to all guidance and gentle nudges to know where to go next and what to do. I’m not entirely sure what this all is yet, but I’m interested. :slight_smile:

I’d recommend you start with CJs books as they’ll get you caught up on the narrative but In the meantime we have all kinds of topics you can join in such as food, drinks and cooking, your job, your personal hobbies, or just a general discussion!
