The Future of Newbie Experiences!

Last Updated: September 19, 2026

Hello, folks!

For those who did not know, I have been dedicating some time to rewriting our newbie tour. With the help of some editors in the Pools, we’re finally nearing completion!

Our goal with the new tour is to ensure it sells the fantasy of each city. To that end, it looks a bit different for each city, though every version teaches the same lessons at the same pace.

We’re looking for interested parties who want to give us their thoughts about the tour and its themes, as well as any other feedback you might have. If that sounds like something you’d like to be involved in, send Razmael and myself a message stating your interest! We’ll be in touch once we’re ready for any given city’s testing period.

Thanks!
