Shoot I just realized I need 1 more book before I've earned my gold. I should go do that instead of popping around GR

Last month it was the 19th :P I'm not that far behind.

[Reva]

Just teasing :-)

[Alex]

Eep, still got two books to read before I get my first 10 gold. I think I'll buy potions though. The buying/selling books is an interesting concept which I may have to mull over a little.

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

OK. Go enjoy your April Quests.

[Rebecca]

Yayyyy

[Alex]

I love my midas quest!

[Emma (M)]

wow, my mind is boggled with all the different quest options!!!!

[Kelly]

You can thank Tea for the Midas quests :) She went on a writing spree a bit back.

[❀Tea❀]

*snikers*
I needed them for Academy quest :)

[Tia]

Oh wow - these are some meaty quests! So many books are needed for all of them. It will take a lot of time to sit down and figure which ones are most worthwhile.

Great work, Kelly and Tea!

[Cait S]

Thank you for the update, Kelly and Tea! Great work as always. Looking forward to getting in to all of these. Also happy to see that of the next batch of expiring ones, I'm mostly done lol Thank goodness!

[Tia]

Hm. I'm confused about the houses. Is there going to be something in the future in which we need a house to store it?

[Kelly]

There are plans for houses in the future. It's also a way for some people who are ahead to still have quests and not leave everyone else in the dust :P But I think you'd be happy to have a house though it can wait if you're busy with others.

[Zuzana]

I have a question about the new type of Rat. It's quite clear that after our hero reaches level 8 we can kill only the Greater Sewer Rat, the regular kind will flee from us but what about before? If I am not level 8 yet, can I opt to kill the Greater Sewer Rat instead of the regular Sewer Rat or am I stuck with the lesser kind or CAN I KILL BOTH?

[Teresa]

Academy History! Ugh! I'm tripping up on a book from my year of birth and a historical 50ys ago. I don't like the 60s... not to mention there isn't much m/m out there in that time frame (at least not that I can find!).

You guys like to make things challenging!!!

All of these are intense...

[Reva]

Do we at least get exp points for committing 17 books to the Bunny? For 3 HP?

And what's with the House?

[Teresa]

For Author's initials PB in the Sandwich Quest, would J.P.B count?

[Teresa]

I think the bunny is very useful. It saves three books per week in resting, but 17 books - some of which are hard to find, is a bit steep. I will have to see if I can get to it after my horse.

[Zuzana]

Reva wrote: "Do we at least get exp points for committing 17 books to the Bunny? For 3 HP?

But it's 3 HP every single week. If you count how many books the bunny will save you as opposed to the restful healing (1 HP for 1 book) it's not that bad. Not that I can afford one. I don't have a single book put towards the horse yet. Never mind the bunny. ;)

You can kill both if you're below level 8 :)

Does the middle name always get added when his name is published? If it's always there then it would be ok, if it's not on the published books then no.

[Teresa]

Yes, the name is J.P. Barnaby

[Kelly]

Nope. Bunny itself is the prize. People weight the prizes differently so I vary what type of rewards (items/experience) are given for different quests.

The house will have additional quests spawned off of it in the future. I'm planning on introducing longer series of quests where they'll be more of a story to go along with the quest. You can thank Tea for having me add xp to that one :P

[Kelly]

Also note, bunny eggs can be eaten during battle :) I assume they're made of chocolate and can be eaten raw.

[Tia]

Wow. The cost for these quests is STEEP. It looks like the smallest quests is 7 books - yowza, haha. I thought I was going to be selling books this week, but I think I might be in the market to buy them now. =p

[Tia]

Oh, and one quick question Kelly. For the Death's Requests quest, will I be able to stack Death's Gratitude with the Plasma Weapon from the Spock quest? Just curious because if I can't, it's not use going for both. =p

[Kelly]

Tia wrote: "Oh, and one quick question Kelly. For the Death's Requests quest, will I be able to stack Death's Gratitude with the Plasma Weapon from the Spock quest? Just curious because if I can't, it's not us..."

You can. Though both are single use.

I have a question about the Lady Dani lost and found Midas Quest. Do we follow the rules of the Amazing August quest:

Using the maze displayed above, choose one of the four entry points (North, East, South or West) then read your way to the red centre of the maze);

Or as Lady Dani is already lost, do we assume she is at the Red square and we need to direct her out to one of the entry points (North, East, South or West)?

I loved this challenge and participated when it ran in August and I am so happy to have another go at it!!

[Reva]

Does this qualify for something round on the cover?

[❀Tea❀]

@Margaret
It can work both ways, so I'll leave it up to you to decide how you want to go. Yes Lady Dani is in the middle, so you can start from there. But you (hero) are outside and you are going in for Dani. :)

[❀Tea❀]

@Reva
I know it was my quest but I'm not sure. I was thinking more in line of round objects (like ball) and didn't even consider that image could be round.
It seems little too easy for this kind of quest and I'm tempted to say no, but I'll check with Kelly first.

[ClaireB]

I love these quests!!

But how will I find books with pet rabbits? Any suggestions? Anyone?

[Tia]

I was trying to plan for this quest last night and finally threw up my hands in frustration for the same reason, haha. I can't for the life of me find any lists that have novels with pet rabbits in them and I don't know any off the top of my head.

The only one I found was The Year of the Hare.

[Cait S]

Honestly I probably won't end up with a rabbit just because of that requirement. They like....don't friggin exist. I've tried everything I usually use to find books (listopia searches, genre searches, google, etc) and I have not found a single one. So. Yeah.

[Zuzana]

For those who are looking for pet rabbits, try Winnie the Pooh books. All the animals are Christopher Robin's pets including the grumpy rabbit. ;)

[Cait S]

Aren't those mostly far under the 100 page limit though? Also isn't rabbit a stuffed animal in real life and just make believe in the Hundred Acre Woods?

[Kelly]

I'm going to go ahead and lower the required bunny pet book count to 1. I don't want to make it ridiculously hard.

[Kelly]

BTW best way I've found to find stuff like that is to use google books and search for "pet rabbit" or "pet bunny".

Bless you. I hope you find 20 dollars on the ground.

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

The Easter Bilby quest now officially only requires 1 pet bunny/rabbit book.

[Cait S]

This one might work. It's told from the perspective of the family dog but the rabbit is a pet belonging to the same people.

[Zuzana]

I think that at least the first two are above 100 pages. I haven't thought about being stuffed toys though. Anyway, they should work for the cover requirement. :)

[Kelly]

BTW My husband wanted to make you all have to find 3 pet bilby's so count your blessings that I didn't listen to him ;)

How do you do that search? when I search all I get are how to take care of your pet bunny books

[Rebecca]

I love that these quests are becoming more and more intense. It makes me read each one super carefully so I can decide which ones I can work on for a while.

Still working on that horsie and then mayyybe a bunny?
