Some new things have been introduced to change this, notably the Tutorial and the whole scripting system. This is great!

To my fellow TFW gamers, here are two questions for you all: What can we do to help out jed in making the game less confusing and demoralizing for new people? In particular, what can we do here on the forum and in the Wiki, to make it easier for new people?

I would like to see more guides being produced. I know there are some deck and strategy guides, but unlike many other games out there, we don't have anything akin to a 'The Definitive Newbie Thread'. I think having things collected together (if only by links) in one, stickied post would be great.

Would this be a good thing to have. If so, what do you think should be in it?

EDIT: Just wanted to say that Keyser has done a great (if lonely) job with the Wiki so far. So all respect to him for that :)

I think a locked thread where Jed could move all the tutorial threads to would be nice. I don't know if PHPBB can transfer individual posts but I think a forum is much better than a wiki, at least up till the wiki can be properly populated.

It's also much easier to find the TFW forums than it is to find the wiki...

A link in-game should be provided, as well. Most of us ignore the initial messages in the lobby, but a newer player is likely to read them, so why not link to tutorials from there?

Seconded.
His job here is simply awesome :)
(except making so many threads all the time :D)
>we probably should create a subforum (like Card Ideas, Suggestions etc.) just for Keyser ;)

Voices; true as well, that would be really great. I think all these should be in the wiki, where it can't be spammed etc., with some kind of guidepost...

If one of you could take the time to link all the tutorial threads, I can make a locked thread to hold them and help us have TEH DEFINITIF NOOBEEE THREd

I can also see about adding any to the Wiki that have previously been not added.
