I've been a longtime lurker here, and have decided to introduce myself to the board. I'm a voracious reader of ppc missions, and love the way you people write. Hello! :)

Well, I suppose I'm not much of a lurker anymore, but the point stands.
For your newbie gift, take this Replica Holocron, as well as a hobbit baked pie as an apology for my lateness. -

Do you have any idea how hard it is to get a pie out of Hobbiton without the hobbits noticing?

Hey! Hi! Hello!
Welcome!
Here, have this lead pipe, my friend. It's vintage and all polished. Never been used, you know. Diplomacy is the greatest weapon, the way I see it.
Fond of succession games, eh?
I've only really read Boatmurdered, which is bloody Shakespearean. Got any recommendations?
Welcome! -

Thanks! I've been reading gemclod, and it's quite nice. The hall of legends on the bay12 forums lists the awesome vintage ones, I've linked it: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=89305.0

That's a kick to the memory.

Download the Lazy Newb Pack, or at the very least dwarf therapist and a good texture pack. Reddit's r/dwarffortress is also pretty good.

Since I was beaten to asking the ever-important questions, I'll just hand you this Royal Ice Cream Container. It's basically Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans, except you choose the flavor. Close the lid, say any flavor, open lid, consume miraculously appearing ice cream.

Hello, and welcome aBoard! For your newbie gift, take this plate of freshly-made SPaGhetti!
Since I'm assuming you've already read the Original Series and the Constitution, mind if I ask what your fandoms are and which agents you've read?
Hope you like it here! -

I'm at the moment interested in the abhorsen-verse, and am halfway through the Septimus Heap books. I love the Secrets of the immortal Nicholas Flamel series, and have been meaning to read up on Spooks Apprentice. I don't know if this counts, but I like Dwarf Fortress succesion games. I really can't list the agents I've read in entirety, but I've read most if the new stuff.

FINALLY, somebody else who has read Septimus Heap! And when you say Spook's Apprentice, do you mean The Last Apprentice? :D The only other person I know who's read those series is my brother.

The Last Apprentice is the american version. The british editions are The spook's apprentice. It's like how the first harry potter book is sorceror's stone in america and philosopher's stone in england.

I know I've got the Flamel books somewhere in Carmela's closet, and I've got the Heap books on my IPod. Color me surprised. And yeah, game fandoms count. Pokémon, Fire Emblem, anything.
