I am working on my first age and would like to hear questions or comments.

Images and latest version of the writeup in Microsoft Word 97-2003 Format will appear here. PM me if you would like an older version.

I'm also running an advertisement for a concept artist at http://forum.guildofwriters.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=4788.

Hi Nathan,
Sounds good, but should see pictures. I like the idea of the library and all the linking books. Have you planned puzzles?

Yeah, I'm looking for a concept artist. The vaults will hide age descriptive books but you will need to explore and find the combination to them. It's my first age, but I want to make an age as good as things like Janga, Rell-too, or even Gahressen. Also I'm thinking about reducing the list of books. What do you think?

[tangara]

Don't reduce the list of books. I love the idea to link to all these places as a reward for solving puzzles.

A long list is liked by me! (Though JangaLela is a reward for solving a puzzle in Janga, so we probably don't want people getting there from anywhere except Janga.)

I was already removing that, but it's in the Nexus (Janga Lela I mean). I'll remove it in the next writeup.
As well, I'm shortening up the book list and adding other books (such as Camp Bravo [day and night]).

Yeah, I noticed that it was in the Nexus and didn't think it was supposed to be there, so I asked Itep about it. It shouldn't be in the Nexus anymore if you've got the latest AgeInformation update from UAM or are on the UAM Shard. I guess by your signature that you use the DI shard, so I don't know about that.

Well, according to diafero (http://forum.guildofwriters.com/viewtopic.php?f=111&t=4774), DI gets it's Ages from UAM. But, it was manually added to a "Large and Complex Ages with Lots of Secrets" collection. I'll post it over at DI and see what happens.

Before I load the next writeup, I need to know if Relto Pages and Linking Stones are off limits. According to http://www.guildofwriters.com/wiki/RAWA%27s_Guidelines_For_Writing they would be off limits but http://dusty.homeunix.net/wiki/Age_Requirements and http://dusty.homeunix.net/wiki/UAM/ReltoPages says Relto Pages would be OK. So, what should I do about Pages and Stones?

[ddb174]

Rawa is a Cyan employee, so I imagine he's talking about if you want it in Moulagain someday. You may have Relto Pages on Uam and the Alcugs shards, yes! That was a new feature brought by the Uam Ki Plugin a short time ago. And as for Linking Stones, you may have whatever you like in your Age so far as getting it in Uam. (Again, Rawa might not like some things canon-wise, and so he might not let them in Moulagain.)
