*Kyngdom Q+A
Welcome, Chatterboxers, to the new Kyngdom board! You'll notice a few things have changed. We hope these changes will make it easier for both longtime and new users to participate in the story.
First, we've asked Dr. Sheepshank from Cypher Labs to comb through all the threads and put together a summary and history of the Kyngdom story so far. You’ll see that in the "Story So Far." He'll continue adding to it as the story grows.
Second, we've reduced the number of active threads. The only active threads will be the ones you see on the main page. These threads (many of which are inspired by your ideas!) will help us keep the story organized.
Third, to keep the story manageable, you will no longer be able to start your own new threads on the main page. A smaller number of threads will be easier for everyone to digest, and it will be more obvious where the action is happening, and what the action is. You can still create role-play (RP) threads on the Kyngdom RP Board.
Don’t worry! Your old threads are not gone. You can still read them in the Kyngdom Archive, but you will no longer be able to comment on them.
We hope you like the changes. If you have any suggestions for new threads, new groups you want to form, or general questions for us, feel free to comment below.
We've had an exciting few months building and growing Kyngdom. We love all the ideas you are bringing to this adventure. Have fun, and happy writing!

Hello, this is elementgirl (well, Microchip on Kyngdom), and I don't really know what to do. Could one of you experienced people help me?

Hello! I'm not exactly what you might call a veteran, but if you'd like, I'll do what I can. Is there anything in particular you need help with?

Hi elementgirl! I'm shadow, but you know me as Embers in the Ashes. Welcome to Kyngdom!

I bet you can never guess who I am...
I guess I'm sortta a venternarian at this, I helped come up with a bunch of the Power stuff, so if you have any questions about them, I's be glad to answer!

Basic story line:
Go through the Power Threads, starting with Wing, all to hoof.
(January 28, 2017 - 8:35 pm)
Okay, um... XD
There's a lot of ways to start, but I think most people do some reading to figure out the basic story and world, then make a charrie and post the character sheet on the who's here?... thread, and finally start posting thoughts and RPs. I'm not on the CB, but I know a lot of others are, so probably some things will be the same. I'm sure everyone will be happy to help if you need any.

Honestly, there's no 'correct' way to start. I just dove right in when I started, without even posting a charrie sheet. Trying to navigate Kyngdom can be like trying to learn how to play Advanced Dungeons and Dragons with only a dungeon master's guide and player's manual. Not that I've tried to do such a thing....
(I might be attempting to learn from my father's old books. Nerdieness runs in my family :] )

I know. It's like a choose-your-own-adventure thing, and I just suggested a path.
(January 31, 2017 - 8:05 am)
Hi Elementgirl! Or Microchip, I should say. What the others said basically sums it up. I've been on quite awhile, some might call me a Kyngdom 'oldie', but I assure you it was a bit overwhelming, but fun, to jump into. On the CB, I'm known as Leeli. On here I'm known as many characters, and not all know which ones. I prefer to let that information seep out on its own time. ;-) If you need anything, just ask.

I heard of that game, it sounds good but from reading the player book it's seems a bit slow
I like games with simple macanics so something like Munchkin is better for me then D&D

Somone fill me in on what I missed for the past few months please.
(April 1, 2017 - 5:10 pm)
At what part, exactly, did you leave off?
(April 2, 2017 - 1:13 pm)
Welllllll.... When I was on here last, I was still sort a' confused, sooooo... can someone just write up the whole story or, if it is, just tell me where it's written?
-Thanks!
(April 2, 2017 - 6:14 pm)
...A lot? Um... Well, I'll start with the Power of Hoof.
So, the Power of Hoof is with Blazing Star, of course, but there is a decoy owned by a reindeer named Regina. She lives in the mansion Jökull, which stands within the Wreath Wall in Northwestern Kyngdom, near the town of Snow Don and east of the treacherous Decoy Forest. Cornelia Hornshaw had a dream about the fourth Power, that of Hoof, and so took the Badger Express train to the Decoy Forest to find it. Zephyra intercepted her and tried to convince her not to go, but she didn't listen, instead running off into the woods after the illusion of a lost love. Catastrophe, meanwhile, slaughtered a convent of monks and got the obscure but powerful Sword of Ravenmore, and will be looking for the Shield of Battleclaw and the Crown of something-or-other next.
shadow was on the train, too, as were Ronan, Icy, Mina, Anwen, Elliot, Lia Moonstrider, and Charlotte. Sprocket ran along outside, and MoonRacer and Trillian flew overhead. Everyone went separately and met up unevenly. Details elude me, but the train was attacked and partially destroyed by bandits and members of Catastrophe's army, and Mina pretended to go rogue and shot Icy nonfatally. Moonracer found the three wolf Masters who guard the Crown that Catastrophe is after, Sprocket and some other(s) rode mechanical eagles and nearly fell to their deaths, Ronan uncovered his identity, Elliot got Sprocket and some other chais once they got to safety (I think an inn someplace), shadow and Anwen called Ronan Icy's boyfriend and loverboy when they were telling him to get help for her wound, Harbor brings news of Heather's death and Mer's destruction to the inn, Hazel helps Anwen find Rain, Rae fallss from SailHaven into the inn's library, Jake comes for shadow and confesses his love, and when Catastrophe's troops crash the party, Gabria pretends to be Sprocket and allows herself to be taken in exchange for them leaving.
Alexandria sends a letter to shadow, needing to be rescued, and I forget exactly what happened, but we got her out and cut half her arm off because of the bomb in it. She has a prosthetic now, like Sprocket's. We have a new medic, too, the talented Quill Aspen. shadow robbed an evil bank with which there was some drama and I illustrated it. SailHaven got repaired and back up in the air.
After that, there was a lot more, but I'm kind of running out of time, so hopefully someone else can help you with it. Right now, shadow just left Jökull after running off with Jake, getting captured on purpose to see if Alexandria was there and meeting her mother, Mina is on horseback somewhere, and SailHaven kicked the Resistance out, leaving an untold number of members near the Decoy Forest, from where they all went east and are currently just outside the Wreath Wall. Catastrophe is likely to leave Jökull, which he is currently occupationg, in a few days to seek out the Shield. Icy is climbing its walls, and Caelani is with the Resistance, in his crow form.
