How to Play TriadCity
The TriadCity Players' Guide
Etiquette: donate for newbies
While TriadCity's a friendly place for players, it can
be pretty tough to get started.
It's up to you to help the noobs. Please use the
Donate
command to contribute spare fruit, loaves of bread, and the other stuff you bump into.
Donations go straight to the Donation Room on Sanctuary Island, and are much appreciated
by the young and property-less! 😊

"In 1455, Gutenberg invented the printing press -- but not the book as we know it. Books printed before 1501 are called incunabula; the word is derived from the Latin for swaddling clothes and is used to indicate that these books are the work of a technology still in its infancy. It took fifty years of experimentation and more to establish such conventions as legible typefaces and proof sheet corrections; page numbering and paragraphing; and title pages, prefaces, and chapter divisions, which together made the published book a coherent means of communication. The garish videogames and tangled Web sites of the current digital environment are part of a similar period of technical evolution, part of a similar struggle for the conventions of coherent communication. Now, in the incunabular days of the narrative computer, we can see how twentieth-century novels, films and plays have been steadily pushing against the boundaries of linear storytelling." — Janet H. Murray, Hamlet on the Holodeck: The Future of Narrative in Cyberspace (info )
