Man, someone always beats me to the chase when new players show up :lol [@VXGreen] Always open. Make sure you read over the OP, as it has most of the info you'll need. In fact, I just now added a new section, labeled "New Players" that should help you get started. It contains suggestions of what to do when your NS first gets accepted, and a brief run-down of game events so far called the "galactic history book." (The history book is still incomplete, but I plan on finishing it out when I get home from work. :cool) Finally, I recommend joining our discord server. It's where most of the planning, talking and worldbuilding for future posts happens, so it helps not to be left out-of-the-loop. Link: discord.gg/ZKcvNr2T4K
