Hey, howās it going everybody? Call me Rabbitfighter. I found my way here through that cryptic Instagram ad, and am really looking forward to delving into this world. I was initially sorted into Eberguard, which really didnāt resonate with me; I retook the assessment and found myself in Balimora, which seems like a much better fit, although I think I could belong in Weatherwatch. Iām definitely an adventurer at heart, and have my share of wild stories to tell, from following a punk band thousands of miles by hitching rides from show to show, to spending a New England winter living in a blanket fort in the backseat of my car. My next adventure will be thru hiking the Appalachian Trail from Maine to Georgia starting in mid-July, which to me is a perfect combination of Balimora and Weatherwatch traits (assuming Iām characterizing them each accurately).
I make my living as a graphic designer, and in my free time I love hiking, going to concerts, traveling, theater, and reading. In addition to graphic design, I like working on mixed media collage, street art, and photography. I was the frontman of a hardcore punk cabaret band for several years: I primarily write lyrics and sing, but also play some lousy guitar and bass, and am teaching myself mandolin and harmonica. Iām in recovery from heroin addiction (over 4 years clean!) and a big part of my life philosophy is keeping a positive mental attitude. Itās important to me to support my friends and community, and use my strengths to help the people around me wherever possible. I have a pretty solid record collectionā¦ um, I live in Bostonā¦ sometimes I donāt know when to shut up, but right now seems good.

Welcome to the forum @Rabbitfighter! Sounds like an incredibly wild life youāve had so far. I play a little bit of mandolin myself just every now and then, I think itās a really nice instrument.
Once youāve read the first post of this thread and the forum primer for the rules and how to get started, feel free to check out our general discussion topics or the currently reading supertopic.
When you feel ready you can visit the Balimora Gathering to introduce yourself to your new guildmates and get to know others. You can also visit the Balimora guildhouse. Your guild leaders are @Nimueh and @Helios if you need anything, or feel free to message any of us Wagoneers.
Very happy to have you in our community!

Thank you! Iām excited to participate! It looks like Iām not able to post in the Balimora introductions/welcome thread- is it due to my low member level, or is the thread locked?
Edit: Iāve also noticed that many links to different sections of the forum have numbers appearing in a grey circle after the text- for example, in your post @BrokenVoid, āgeneral discussion topicsā is followed by a 1, and āBalimora Gatheringā is followed by a 2. What do these numbers indicate?

Yes, after a few hours exploring the forum you will be able to interact with your guild, but for the moment itāll only be discussions.
I believe those circles are the number of new posts in that link since youāve visited it, I donāt know for sure though.

Hello !
Wow, introductions are always kind of spooky because you never really know what to say. Here goes nothing !
You all can call me Nevi ! I discovered this new world via a Facebook Ad, and I am more than excited to venture on. The Guide led me to Flinterforge, which I believe aligns perfectly with my craft - loving nature and engineering - oriented brain.
I studied Biomedical Engineering in school and am still searching for exposure into the field. While I do, I work locally as an instructor at a math learning center. I am absolutely crafting obsessed, constantly trying to learn new ones. Sewing, crocheting, knitting, custom Mickey Ears, etc etc. I love playing video games, reading, writing ( roleplaying especially ! ), traveling, anything caffeinated, space, magic, puzzles, warm blankets . . .
Ahh as you can probably tell, I rant a lot, haha. Getting a little ahead of myself.
Really looking forward to reading the books and joining this community

Make sure you read the first post of this thread and the forum primer for the rules and how to get started here. We have a currently reading topic and a video game topic that you might be interested in.
After a few hours exploring the forum youāll be able to interact with the Flinterforge page, where you can introduce yourself to your new guildmates and check out the Flinterforge guildhouse. Your guild leaders are @Revenir and @Viviane if you need anything, or feel free to message us Wagoneers.
Very happy to have you here, we hope you enjoy the community!

Iām Ashburn, one of the Ebenguard guild leaders along with @Ginger. If you have any questions about anything, feel free to shoot either of us or the Wagoneers a message!
Beyond that, it looks like one of those Wagoneers is about to give more details, so to not steal more of their thunder Iāll leave it here. 
ā¦okay, I lied. We seem to have quite a few folks with theatre backgrounds around here (myself included 
).

Hello there! Iām Finn, or Honeysuckle, either or.
Iām a uni student from Australia, studying visual art, and a big fan of writing. I saw this place advertised on Instagram, got sucked in by the amazing art for it, and- well, here I am! Iām an Ebenguard, which suits me just fine- I love playing paladins, so this is right up my alley. Iām about to launch into reading flora and fauna (to avoid my assessments), and Iām really excited to get into here!

There is a place where you can meet your fellow guild mates over in the Ebenguard Guild hall! Iāve met some really amazing Ebenguard here on the forum so iām absolutely certain that if you have any problems theyāll help you out! Actually everyone iāve met is amazing so Iām multitudes of certain.
Seeing as you didnāt explicitly talk about your interests Iām going to take a gander based off you saying you play paladins that you play DND or that you enjoy video games! Now if there are any other questions about finding a topic about something you enjoy please shoot me or really anyone a message and weāll help you find or maybe even create one!
Once again welcome to the Ackerly Green Community! I apologize for my welcome being super long but its super late and I wanted to make without a shadow of a doubt sure I covered everything!

That I did not, my apologies! My interests do indeed include dnd and video games. Iām also a fan of Egyptology, drawing, fine teas, and baking! Not to worry about the reply length- being Australian means I tend to be on at odd hours for yall. Nice to meet you, and @Rimor as well!! Iāll be sure to introduce myself there as well!

Just before I finally go to sleep Iāll help point you in the right direction!
Drawing/Writings: #the-creationary
Baking and teas (Iām sure there are āfineā teas there as well I just havenāt heard that term lol) can be found here!
I donāt think we have a set Egytpology topic but we do have the language topic as well as the general discussion topic and iām sure that someone in the general disscussion topic would be able to chat with you about it.
With that Iām off to bed, goodnight!
