Welcome to the Clump

Welcome to CL's Unofficial Manual Project dedicated to producing a usable manual for players of all ranges. Hopefully you'll find the manual useful. The core of the manual was written by me, Noivad, between spring 2002 and 2003. It has been updated many times since then, and since October 2006 players have been adding new information and updating things as they change.

If you're completely new 10 Things for Newbies is up and ready. Your First Days in Puddleby will tell you a bit about the world, and what you can do when you start playing. The first sections are all for you. You'll learn how to become a more effective player, and some tricks of the trade. CL might seem very simple to play, but like Othello, its simplicity belies its complexity and elegance.

Advanced players probably want to skip straight to Group Hunting and Tactics, or even add some content of their own, where lacking.

If you want to add/edit/update/correct something please request an account via the Sentinel or contact me in game. Be sure to include your character name you wish to edit under, your email so I can send you an account confirmation link and optionally, your real name. Please feel free to edit content as you see fit, correct any errors and even make new pages, if you don't find information that should be here.

Mature opinions on training are welcome in the discussion page attached to each manual page. Please visit the Coffee and Donuts forum at The Sentinel for discussions regarding the manual.

Thanks,

The Management

However there is demand for such content and a debate on what is and isn't a spoiler. So, some spoilers might sneak into the main pages. Use them with caution should you not want to know about things that could spoil your fun.
