[Ruth-Maria]

Hi all! I am kind of new here, I am a believer of a few years and I LOVE to read. I, also, started reading fantasy a few years ago. I first read Percy Jackson and the lightning thief and City of bones and then continued into the Sarah J. Maas world and instantly fell in LOVE with the Fiction world, but I was honestly disgusted with the ammount of SMUT in fiction books so imagine my surprise and delight when I stumbled upon this group!

I would love to be able to understand everything you talk about and to drink form your experience in this field!
As a start can someone please explain to me what is a "Roll" and how do I do it?

Thank you so much for accepting me nad for helping me!

[Andrea, Hospitality Coordinator]

Welcome, Ruth-Maria! So glad to have you in God's family and in our little family here in CFD.

This library adventure game requires a six-sided die (or an online one, which can be found here: https://www.random.org/dice/). Each roll is a roll of the die to let you know how far to go to reach your next task.

For instance, if I rolled a 5, that would mean I move 5 spaces from Start and land on #5: Walk down your street. Read a book with a title that begins with one of the letters in STREET (ignore articles).

My next roll would begin on #5 and move forward however many spaces I rolled next.

Does that make sense?

If you'd like to play, please check out the instructions here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

And let me know if you have any further questions. So happy you've found us!
