Play a towner role. You are less likely to die and have a chance to learn what the game is about. It may not be as exciting if you play passively, but if you play actively and look to roleplay with others actively and assertively, it can be just as fun as other roles. Don't be afraid. Simply be your character. It is not you.


Pick a flaw. Choosing no flaw, when you have no triumphs to spend, will make you randomly choose one from the list. If you find that your arm no longer works in a new round, it's because you rolled the one arm flaw.


How do I SAY or EMOTE?

T for SAY. M for EMOTING. You can also do * at the start of SAY to emote.


How do I whisper or subtle?

Put @ before your SAY to subtle. Put # before your SAY to whisper.


How to sleep?

Lay down. Close eyes using the arrow keys by the eyes.


How to drink without a cup?

To drink from a water source: Use bite intent and middle click.


How to climb?

Have an empty hand Click on wall to go up. Make sure there is a tile you can climb onto by looking up. For trees, branches are a good indicator. Click on empty space infront of you to go down


How do I look up or down?

Shift + RMB on the empty tile you're on to look up. Shift + RMB on the empty tile next to you to look down. You may have to click around.


Is there a doctor?

The church has healers. Sleeping can heal well.


How do I respawn if I died?

Spirit Tab. Go to underworld. Find toll coin. Turn to ferryman. Go into ferry. Otherwise, wait 15 minutes for a toll coin to spawn in your hand. Don't get lost. For the respawn bit, its also worth mentioning that if you wait for someone to do burial rites on you(through both magical and non magical methods) you get to skip the afterlife bit.


Are there any buildings I can enter into in town?

Yes, there are buildings to go into like the tavern. Be curious and try the stairs. They lead to places of interest. Don't be too curious, as curiosity, indeed, kills the cat.


What can I do in this game?

You can get a job or work for yourself and gather businesses. You can be a criminal. You can be a mercenary. You can be devout and celibate. You can be a degenerate. Do what is interesting for you and others. As long as you are roleplaying in good faith, you can do whatever. There are limitless possibilities!


How can I survive the bog as an adventurer?

Look at the map below. You start out it in that big bog. You need to head north. Sneaking lets you avoid ambushes. Also, going in water risks getting leeches.


How to remove leeches?

Click on the heart. It shows you all the limb. Then pull them off.
