Hello everyone!

All my attempts at returning have been futile in the past due to working full-time and studying full-time on the side, but I have now, after a year of absolute hell, ensured my graduation in May and have no more studies before my enrolment into the University in September. This means that I have time to play a few hours daily from now on. The question is: where to start? I have thought of perhaps making a new character first before picking Saaga back up as I have no idea what to do with her at the moment. To those who might have missed Saaga, I say: worry not, she will become a part of my repertoire after a while, and will ever remain my main as I have invested too much in her to give her up at any time. Also, I've missed you too!

I suspect many things have changed since I last played, any major things I should know about?

Also accepting ideas on a new test-drive character! I should hope to play someone very different from Saaga for a while as she is too much alike me and I really need a break from my studies and responsibilities. I have given thought to perhaps playing a character very unlike me - a Celestine zealot or somesuch.

Sounds like a plan. For Shakiniel!

Welcome back, again.

i missed u

If you want, try to play a sort of sage theme with a character in Gaudiguch. You would be the type that constantly has sayings and little phrases which others would just look at you confused but would make perfect sense to you. It is rather fun, and you can even have conversations with others using them, some will even begin to nod at you as if they understand what you are saying just to not look stupid . We really do need more of this type...., cant seem to finds others that want to go by the entire contemplative theme.


The rock looked to the sun with hate, as it passed through the skies, it later grew a pair of legs and tripped, and thus was enlightened.

Love these !

Those are called kōans.

And noted!



We should have a thread for these!

How would you like to be a professional manse dweller for me, Saaga?

More properly:

If you have ice cream I will give you some.
If you have no ice cream I will take it away from you.
(It is an ice cream kōan .)

It's from the Dharma Bums! I've never read it (the work), but I've heard good things.

Welcome back, Saaga! (or at least, welcome back to the player of Saaga! Look forward to seeing you around again.)
