[QUOTE="J.Quondam, post: 9330046, member: 7030100"] I played a couple one shots of BoL a few years ago, and really enjoyed it. I've only really started delving into the game in the last week or so, and already have some questions. Are there any people around who play and willing to give some input? Thanks! [B]1. BoL Forum?[/B] Is there a fairly active BoL (and/or Everywhen) community to ask questions of? I've looked around last few days, but what few I've found found seem effectively dead. Also a good live-play, advice site, or whatnot could be helpful, too. [B]2.
