Hail to all bards!! I am new to the roleplaying games
and find it to be enthrolling and addictive! I also
find it to be overwhelming at times, if you don't know
anyone and don't know any of the commands. Sineras,
until you mentioned that there is a location command,
I didn't have a clue...just remember there are people
out there that don't know and don't know how to find
out...and find out by luck alone or nice bards who
offer advice!!!
