Hi guys, I kickstarted this game a while back because I really liked the world. I didn’t spend too much time considering I just sort of went with it. Now I checked it out again and thought that I’d like to test the quickplay thingie. I started reading it but found it hard to picture everything because I felt I didn’t really know the world. So my question is, are there some chunks of lore somewhere to be read that I’ve completely missed? Sorry if this has been asked before.

  1. Go to the last page of the FAQ for a listing of faction descriptions. That puts you a big step ahead.

    Go to the last few pages of the quickstart, it gives some basic concepts about the world. (Go to the quickstart 2 document, not the most recent one.)

    The thing is, Duskwall is intentionally vague in some ways. Go ahead and take your favorite parts of the setting and expand them, make it your own. If you have questions, don’t worry about getting the right answer; get an answer that interests you, and roll with it. =)

    You know, John Harper, it might be convenient to link each quickstart version that’s been released to the pinned links. Since they are backer only, link to the backer-only update where they came out.

  2. The full game will be much more broad in content (presenting all sorts of interesting stuff), but not very deep. I like to leave lots of room for players to interpret things at the table.

  3. Also I recommend looking at Ghost Lines if you haven’t already. it’s set in the same worldscape basically as BitD and there is a lot of great fodder in there for stories especially the Rumors and Leads section.
