These forums are for In Game communication. It is to represent and facilitate things happening in the background of Dryad-Fellows Substation X. Every active government, society, and faction will have a forum available here, both for private and public communication. There are also forums available for other types of broad in-game communication, particularly in regards to events that would affect many characters or be known by many characters.
These forums are for content and information relating to the meta-game, including such topics as rules, character development, setting, and suggestions for the game itself.
Players may choose one of several career paths for their character during character creation. These include Military, Engineering, Political, Civilian, and Covert.
This forum is for discussion about the military on the substation. Military includes government armed forces (for the Empire or otherwise), private guards, and mercenaries. It also includes Intelligence, which is similar to the Covert career path.

There are many types of life forms present on the substation, from biological to artificial to stuff in between. These forums are dedicated to discussing these life forms and the miriad shapes they take.
Yes, there are monsters on Dryad-Fellows. This forum is specifically to cover creatures on the substation that are not available as character races. Most of these are either unintelligent or semi-intelligent, or are enigmatic, unique, or otherwise not meant for player use. There are some types of artificial life that may be covered here, such as predictable rogue bots, but most of these will be covered in another forum.

A lively discussion of the races inhabiting the substation can be found here. Note that this includes not only biological species, but also drones, bots, and other forms of artifical life.

These forums have to do with material objects found littered throughout the substation. These may be from high tech weapons and arsenal, to hand-held electronics and femtotics, to food and clothing.
Right now, this forum is for developing the rules for Spindowners. Later, it will be for questions and clarifications for players, as well as suggested rules changes.

These sub-forums are for the purpose of discussion the setting of the game. This can be physical features such as the layout of Dryad-Fellows Substation X and the immediate stellar neighborhood, or social features, such as the economy and culture of the Empire.
Here is a discussion about the substation itself. This should mainly concern things like maps of the substation, sections, construction, how it works, that sort of thing.

There is a world outside the substation, and that world is the Empire. These forums discuss the Empire. During the span of this game, most of the Empire will be inaccessible to spindowners, due to the nature of the war and lack of communication outside. However, it is still important for backstory and setting.

There's a larger arena out there, even if the substation is no longer a part of it. This forum is for discussing the history and goings-on of the galaxy and the universe. After all, most of the people on the substation came from somewhere else in the galaxy.

These forums are for anything not related to the game or the web site. For instance, players may introduce themselves, network out of character, or talk about the weather.
Who are you? This forum is for introductions of the players behind the characters. Where are you from? What do you do with your time when you're not here? What brought you to Spindowners?

Is there something you'd like to see in the game? Especially in the early days of development, your comments carry a lot of weight. We'd love your feedback!

This forum covers anything that can be used to harm another, or protect one from harm. This includes Skurlers, Blasters, and primitive projectiles. It does not include weapons that don't have a basis in a material object (whether portable or stationary), such as destructive plasma blasts created by creative (or mal-formed) femtotic sequencing.
