We were talking about starting a new game thread and possibly also a new discussion thread to symbolize the fresh start and make it more appealing to new and old players, as well as to reflect the time jump. I got the picture more or less everyone was for the idea...?

If we're *not* starting new threads, we should at least get a hold of pio and ask her to edit the first posts of this thread, seeing as we should update the mod list, the character list and the timeline. At the moment it's very misleading and un-newbie friendly.

Also, if anyone wants their child characters to have stunted growth or lowered IQ because of malnutrition (okay that sounds really mean) or have their characters suffered an illness that's linked to malnutrition, check out this Wikipedia article. I would also remind you that it's a unique opportunity to give your characters missing body parts thanks to frostbite.

I can see the point of new threads. Pio will have to start them. If I started them, they would not be vetted by the moderators.

Firefoot has been trapped in the Barrow!
Re: The timeshift - basically I feel like Scyld has a lot of changing and developing to do that I don't want to completely gloss over but I also don't want him to be unrealistically stagnant for too long. I can think of how to account for three years - if we do five, I'll just stretch it out but I'm not as happy about it.

Good call - and if anyone has questions or needs resources on amputation/prostheses, let me know - that's what I do for work.
