Vacosa.
The city of dreams now broken, of opportunities lost, of fortunes squandered.
It wasn't always like this. Once a shining city on the hill, a trade hub the likes of which had never been seen before. It's gleaming spires touched the sky, it's streets strewn with an abundance of wealth...
So how well did the clickbait title work?

The Pitch:
Vacosa is the city of wonders, a bastion of culture, knowledge and magic. Long held as the jewel of the continent, it economic and military prowess ensured that it would reign prosperously for many generations.
Or at least, that's what people believed before the Whispering Plague...

This is the opening post of my new quest, The Path to Power, in which you play a downtrodden, nobody in an oppressive, authoritarian society. Your ultimate goal is to claw your way to the top of the heap so that no one can ever tell you what to do, ever again, by any means you deem...
The Wizards of Disandar were not, as a rule, accountable to anyone other than themselves, save perhaps the Emperor. In fairness however, everyone was accountable to the Emperor in one way or another. His iron fist squeezed the lands of his domain tight, but none tighter than those of the...
For a while now, I've noticed a rather startling uptick in anti-atheist sentiments, both from private figures and public officials. Since, as an atheist, I feel that most fears are rooted in misunderstandings or potential ignorance of a subject, I thought I'd take a moment to answer questions...

I'm seeing a lot of gifs used in avatars, signatures or background profile art that I'd like to report to the staff, but it seems like my only option is to report an individual post rather than a user themselves. Is this the case? Or am I just blind and missing a "Report user" function?

You start to wrap things up for the day. Your job is a simple one, but satisfying. Pay is good, benefits are nice, and the cute secretary has been friendlier with you than normal. You're thinking of asking her out once your shift is done for the day.
Speaking of quitting for the day, what...
So I'm interested in running a quest again after a long hiatus, the problem is, I'm not quite sure what quest to run! Rather than ruminate on all the possible ways I could present a particular quest to an audience, I figured I could kill two birds with one stone and put it to a vote and see...
Because these were popular a while ago, so I figure I might as well see if I can start the trend again.
Note that by anything, I do mean anything. Although you may not get the answer you expect.
