Nothing But Reading Challenges discussion
A Novel Role-Playing Game

The Local Tavern
Wow, I didn't even realize they sent a message until I read these comments. For some reason it didn't show in my email. But it was surprising as these challenges are supposed to be fun!
Wheel-a-thon is coming out soon. Each of the games has very different moods to them so hopefully it resets everyone back to sanity :)I have magic spreadsheets. And they're almost working! Yay!
I am trolling Cathy. Hello everyone. I am not even doing this challenge, but I am on WOBBLE teams - a flying squirrel thank you very much... and am up way past my bedtime - taking a reading break. Saw some posts here that may explain our lovely email today. Now gonna investigate to see what all the drama is about. Ta ta for now.
Oh no I'm sorry there's drama!! That's so hard for the mods to deal with cause they're already putting so much into this very intricate challenge.Wheel a thon is awesome I hope everyone will get back into the fun spirit!
I'm gonna be trolling around the WOBBLE boards whenever I have extra time at work. Not being able to listen to audiobooks at work is killing me.
We also have some fun stuff we're talking about for launching after wobble is over. So there's lots of excitement ahead :)
RE:✓. Birds of a Feather Probably Can't Fly Well Reward: 4 Experience and a bird friend. Your befriended bird will come visit every Sunday and leave behind 1 Bird Feather. You may feed him again during the week to receive extra feathers. DONE 19/7/16
How do the extra feathers work? Both on same day? One day apart?

You can get the extra one right after you feed him. It won't change the normal sunday delivery.
Thanks. Just getting my Ducks in a row (LOL) for all the spells. Can we expect to use some spells by this coming update?
Reva wrote: "Thanks. Just getting my Ducks in a row (LOL) for all the spells. Can we expect to use some spells by this coming update?"I'm hoping so. I may even release one of the other elements too. I'd like to get base spells of all the elements out soon.
I'm still wrapped up in wobble spreadsheets right now but all willing that wraps up tomorrow afternoon so that gives me about a week to do rpg :)

Are we ever going to see Advanced Training for Puppies?
I'm really enjoying this latest update here. But sometimes I have a hard time dividing my attention between here and Wobble. Glad my wobble team hasn't had any drama. It's been fun and I'm looking forward to the Wheel-a-thon segment. But I'm more excited that I'm so close to getting my phoenix!
With my mom back in hospital I haven't had much success in putting together a proper emporium offering, HOWEVER I do have a miscellaneous assortment of books that might help those putting together BARNS, GARDENS, FEEDING BIRD FRIENDS, Phoenixes, KITCHEN-TWO, BAUBLES, BEDS ETC. Any requests for Monday and onwards?
Hope for a speedy recovery for your mom Reva! Hang in there :)Do have a request for a book with a bird please! Can't seem to find any short ones or ones I feel like reading right now...
Hope your mom is doing better Reva!!Does anyone have a recommendation for a "book with a metal in the title or series". All the ones of mine that fit I've already read.
Also for doors on a cover....does it have to be clearly defined doors? Or can it just be a building that implies there are doors we may not see well?

Ok thanks!
Also for the horses/rabbits mentioned...does it have to be a rabbit physically in the book? Or would something like "this is a good place for rabbits" count?
If it wants something in the book it should be specific and present in the scene. If it just wants the word then it can be a passing type of comment.
Whoohoo! Thunderbolt and Whirlwind spells done and dusted. Will we be needing more peas and carrots? ie should I continue planting the garden?
You will continue to be able to use spells against upcoming monsters too so there's that? I don't know if you're meaning "outside of the phases" or if you mean anything else as far as using them for combat AND for something like cooking.
Right now I expect them to be used just for spells. I'm open to doing something else with them.But new monsters will be much easier with the appropriate spells.

I've already grown and used the 3 sets of peas and carrots to qualify as a caster of the Whilrlwind spell.
My question to Kelly, given that the garden is repeatable, was whether she was planning to use peas and carrots for any future quests especially since the August update approaches.
Since it appears that it's a distant possibility, I'll hold off.
Cool. I could use some big monsters to kill. I'm close to leveling up so I wouldn't mind resetting my HP after a big battle. ;-)
I'm thinking a series of monsters or something. 4 Horsemen of the apocalypse, the 7 dwarves, something like that :P
Tempting. I wanted to do the super hero team challenge at one point so I still have idea's off of that.There's probably a few months worth of stuff here.
I like the idea of a chain of monsters that gets progressively harder since then everyone can participate up to a certain point.
I have a question - Once we've gotten and cast the spell 3 times and have learned it, do we need to do the quests for the supplies EACH time we want to cast in battle?
Hi everyone. I've been trying to get all my books in the right place before updating my thread but I noticed there's no GC available :( oh well I'll keep writing and then post what I have. I've been bouncing between reading, updating and have an awesome time with Wobble. That took some major thinking. Great job Mods! A lot of reading getting done and more to add to my RPG :D

That's not the impression I got when I asked Kelly about needing more peas/carrots and continuing to plant the garden.
Reva wrote: "Morgan wrote: "Daphne wrote: "I have a question - Once we've gotten and cast the spell 3 times and have learned it, do we need to do the quests for the supplies EACH time we want to cast in battle?..."Kelly just confirmed it above:

Yes."
That's why I was confused earlier as to why you wouldn't want to continue planting, since that spell might come in handy for upcoming monsters as well as those items potentially having other uses in future (because we never know and Kelly is good at surprising us with new stuff).
I plan on having a little stockpile set aside once I'm done with my training runs.
You'll need the same reagents for any further use of the spell in actual battles (next phase and then with new monsters later). Because certain monsters will have differing vulnerabilities to the different spells as she'd stated earlier here when the spells were introduced.

I couldn't tell for sure the way it was worded. Any chance we can get those spells/quests reworded so it's super clear that we need to complete the quests/collect the supplies for each cast?
Otherwise I imagine half the folks won't and half the folks will, and that's a big difference in abilities. :)

I hope you are enjoying wobble as well. So far it's been a bit intense, but also lots of fun for me.
