Beneath the Golden Moon

Playing the game

Keep secrets

Intrigue depends on secrets, and intrigue is a big part of this game. Secrets are kept hidden for a reason; don't just blabber everything you know to anyone you meet. Even revealing other people's secrets can get you into a lot of trouble. This goes double for your own character's secrets - if you just casually mention that you're a member of the Order of the Blank Shield, chances are you'll be dead by nightfall. Don't let this happen. "Trust no-one. Keep your lance handy."

Be active!

Nothing is going to happen to your character if he or she just sits back and does nothing. Go around and talk to people. This might be hard at first (and I'll be helping in various ways), but an active attitude is all important. If you notice something wierd, don't just shrug your shoulders and go, "Oh, I don't really understand that." or "Hey, that's wierd - where's my beer?" Follow up on it. Things are not just generally wierd in this game - if something doesn't seem right, it's because it isn't right. Check it out!

Ask questions

I don't just mean to other characters - feel free to ask me questions too. If you're having trouble with the game, tell me about it, so I can do something to fix the problem. Or, if you've come up with a brilliant thing your character can be involved in, tell me about it. Anything, anything at all.
