I want to preface this by saying that this is the most welcoming, loving community I’ve ever belonged to, and this post is less about me explaining what is the good, right thing to do to people who I believe already know, and more about a decision I’ve made about my views, my purpose, and…
If you’ve been around here long enough you know that AG Forum notifications are sent via email and can sometimes take 10-15 minutes to arrive after something has triggered a notification. That’s pretty slow, and it’s especially inconvenient when we’re doing scheduling and time-based narrative things. Enter, Telegram. Telegram is a free and secure messaging…
We’ve mentioned this a few times before during our Community Hangouts, but we wanted to officially announce here for everyone to see that we have been working on an Ackerly Green Minecraft server, which will be ready to play in June! We’ve been working behind the scenes with our friend and fellow Mountaineer Mike to…
Two weeks ago, I posted an update and commencement of sorts for our official, community-created tabletop roleplaying game called “Neithernor.” Today I want to announce the underlying system we’ll be using to fuel the game, why we think it’s the right one for us, and then Mike is going to walk you through how a…
This is a big post as it’s going to be part recap, part update, and part announcement. So if you’re interested in Neithernor and/or role-playing in the Briarverse, be sure to read on! If you’ve been involved in the Ackerly Green community at all over the past couple of years, you probably know that we’ve…
Preface: This has changed dramatically since COVID-19, but I want to create some relatively evergreen posts that tackle questions we get asked most often. If you pre-ordered The Book of Briars, then you’ve been receiving parts of the book as a supporting narrative unfolds on our forum. And you might’ve also seen posts from…
This is a project Catherine has been working on for the better part of a year; migrating, editing, formatting, and adding to the 200+ articles that were originally written by amazing readers in this community over on Fandom. We loved having a wiki that was built by all of you, but we didn’t love all…
I never meant for “Magic with a Q” to take off. The word “Magiq” was just an initialism (and an acronym) that I wanted to use to make Ackerly Green’s Guide to Magiq feel more like an academic assessment. Magiq, or M.A.G.I.Q., stood for “Magimystic Assessment and Guild Identity Quantification” and was a phrase that…
I know. It’s really happening. It’s really, finally happening! To honor all you did to unlock The Book of Briars, and to give me a little more time to continue to recuperate from surgery, we’re going to release The Book of Briars in the same way it was unlocked. With a mystery. A mystery which…
If you’ve been following the events of The Search for Magiq, then you know that all six alchemical symbols for the magimystic elements have finally been conjured and revealed in-world. This was a project that started way back in November of last year, and it was the first creative prompt project for the new forum…
