I've had multiple people approach me and ask how to start an adventure thread on [[FirstClass]].<ref><cite class="note">FirstClass was the social platform used by NSA until 2019, when the school switched to Teams. This page still applies today, even though we don't use the same messaging system anymore.</ref> It's really quite easy! Your first step is to come up with a goal, whether it be to find a [[Diamonds of NSA|Diamond]] or to rescue an ancient dragon from evil [[chameliollamasauruses]].

Next you have to figure out where your adventure is going to be. Is it going to be in the [[Mages Guild|Mage's Guild]]? In the [[NaAT|Noble and Ancient Thread]]? In the [[The Coldstone Creamery's Closet|Coldstone's Closet]]? In the Arcade conference? What about in the [[Legend of the Leaky Barrel|Leaky Barrel]]? There are all kinds of places you can have an adventure! Pick a place that's best suited for your adventure's topic and run with it!

I've also gotten the question "How can I make up a legend on my own?" Now, it's good to realize that all of the NSA legends are made up - they had to start somewhere. [[Marissa Mathews|MM]] made up [[zombehs]], [[Andrew Maust]] made up [[Porkypines]], [[Jamie Tucker]] helped make the NAAT, etc. So, because everything is made up, we need new brains to make up new legends! However, again you have to remember to keep it believable and keep it fun, and if you get from multiple people that it's really not that great of an idea, then scrap it and come up with a new one. Also, remember to be respectful of previous legends so that they keep their integrity. Also, remember the BOP when making new legends.

And finally, the adventures that people have the most fun in last for months, so don't feel like your adventure needs to be done within a week or two! We've had adventures that last for over a year. Now, a year might be too long because by the end of it it's definitely time to end the adventure, but just keep in mind that they don't have to be super quick!
