I am oppressed.

Did you see that... huh?  Help, help!  I am being repressed...



Sorry, can never resist throwing in a Monty Python quote.

It's about damn time.

Another snarky, pointless, one liner from Yam out of the blue. Please, everyone try to refrain from showing your surprise.

Not to wake this thread... but there are quite a few people in the Tembos Tooth these days.

Well, I didn't know this. I'd have to thank Desertman for bringing up the topic. Yeah, it seems that the Sanctuary is better left for rich people, but I'd rather it be out of the way, instead of the tavern that all new guys spawn in. Or maybe it's better for proper Tuluki citizens to be there, not the foreigners.

Now all those things they've been saying about the Sanctuary makes sense :P

Yeah, I'd prefer all of the sloppier shit-covered people like myself being in the Tooth. It just seems right.

Clans can give stat bonuses and penalties, too. The Byn drop in wisdom is particularly notorious.

I've long thought newbies in Tuluk should spawn in The Firestorm Pub.  It usually isn't too crowded, so you don't feel conspicuous in your noobie pants.  It is a commoner pub, but it isn't aggressively low class, it is just a place people stop for lunch when they go to the shopping quarter, so it isn't objectionable for people of any class to go there.  It is close to shopping, and most PCs like to do a little shopping right away.

The only downside to the Firestorm is that it is often empty of PCs, as are the adjacent rooms.  This could give new Players the idea that there are no players around at all.  Spawning in your town's busiest tavern increases the chance that new players will see that there are active players around.  I like to take a couple hours to get myself centered before interacting with other PCs, but some people prefer to interact with other humans as quickly as possible.

Most places I've been to IRL involving food don't give a care as to how you look, just as long as you pay the bill at the end of the night.

Then again, said places usually don't have the equivalent of nobility there, nor do I usually walk in with crapped-in pants and a bleeding arm.

It might serve to make the Sanctuary not as 'hoidy-toidy', and the firestorm, a bit more upscale. So that Nobles feel comfortable traveling to both.

Maybe it makes perfect fucking sense for blood-spattered smelly hunters and fully armored mercenaries to spend their days sitting in the ritzy Sanctuary.
I've been kicked out of Sanctuary for having a bit of blood on one piece of gear by the militia, whenever present.

I'm pretty sure anyone can sit in the Sanctuary until someone of His legions comes to make them dissappear.

If you don't like filthy, dirty hunters in the Sanctuary - Be an abiding Tuluki and kick their asses out.

The best solution so far. Handle it IC ;)
