Can has handbook?

[maggotbone]

Sooo, with Callie working at the D.O.I for the City, she's working on making things efficient and useful, and otherwise more import friendly. I've actually been considering making a PDF handbook with general need-to-know stuff about the City, explaining the Porter, listing events that have happened since the Porter first showed up and what to

This is a great idea actually. Sounds kind of like a Quick Start guide to the comm?

[maggotbone]

Yeah! Kinda! I mean, if it turns out to actually be useful, I'm fine with whatever the mods want to do with it if they want to use it.

It might even call for the more artistic members in the comm to maybe illustrate some stuff too if they want? 8D I just thought it would be fun.

Sounds good to me, I know I would've found that sort of thing useful when I was first looking around the comm ^^

[noelleno]

yes to this

now somebody go find pyro's old sparkletext WELCOME TO THE CITY flier from 2008/9

[maggotbone]

[maggotbone]

Of course I will wait to get permission first, but it is delightful!

It's good/fun! But rather than PDF, you could set it up like a game FAQ or the police post(s). That way it'd be easier to edit and if, for some reason (don't you dare) that you drop you could just copy it and textbox it for someone else to take over. You could also use it for IC comments and the like. :)

But yeah, it'd be neat! Especially if it was written ICly in her tone of voice. I also know that there are a few "dummy" things like this that characters will send their friends, like non-existent maps or bits of info in text form that... well, don't really exist but they've said they do.

[maggotbone]

Ohhh that's a great idea! I'll keep that in mind!

lol, I'd love a very sarcastic toned handbook myself. I want to wait to see how many people approve of the idea, and I might set up another post where people can put their input... probably ICly so Callie can be gathering information from various sources (Stark Industries, Xavier Institute, MAC building, various Superhero groups, clueless roommates :P, etc)

I imagine most everyone would! And anyone who doesn't... well, they're just silly. As silly as LJ has been. :|
