Strictly speaking: remember to bring the right tool for the job. You can't cut down a tree with a pick axe - even though its an axe.

Sometimes voting takes longer than it should via phone because the voting sites don't always register the onClick - but that's not a game problem

generally speaking, the game is balanced - but try getting a bed and a journal to begin

The poetry of the quotidian is baked into your choices and their impacts

don't forget that you need to equip the correct kind of axe before you leave town

Once a year the town gets together and celebrates a feast. This year's ends today. The rest of the year is quiet.

Truly, the witches are quite lovely this time of year

The squirrels are flocking this way. But if you join the game, none will die. Wont you join and save the squirrels?

Furniture quality matters a lot and can massively impact gameplay.

the snow lasted for days. neck deep. but melted soon after.

i like singing to fish. The beatings will continue until morale improves. The dark side of the sun has a giant placard which states: "This space for rent." Nobody knows who put it there.

One more loaf One more day Half a tonne Of yeast, away

There are people here who care. RP is lightle (but firmly) encouraged.

Remember that fantasy libraries, unlike real ones, require you to pay for a library card!

Unicorn free! Unlike some other games, you will not be mauled by a unicorn here!

There's something special about sleeping in a bed you made - which was crafted using wool from sheep you raised and wood from trees you chopped

I like that it takes effort to finish reading a book and completing a book nudges your stats

The Grail Lords is a fun, idle game with a player-populated market. Come buy my beds!

One of the interesting in-game choices is to make the soup-kitchen free-bread count independent of each of the cities. This means if you ask (and receive) a free bread from the soup kitchen in Spero - every other city will be aware you ask…

Its nice to see a game where literacy is not taken for granted and being literate is rewarded

Having more travel food than bread would be excellent; maybe you could catch fish and eat them (maybe you can later in the game?) or you could eat a rabbit that you fought - to be fair, maybe that's available in the game ... just feeling t…

One of the more useful artifacts in the game is the journal. However, unless you dig into the Wiki, you may be surprised to learn you can only spend 12 Stamina per day. Given so many other constraints are mentioned in the game AND how oste…

Another thing i like is that its almost not pay to play. You can trade in-game currency for a little more stamina - but 99% of the daily stamina you get comes from game play. It, thus, meaningfully rewards diligent engagement without punis…

Not many games allow you to skill-up in both Reading and Pickpocketing

unlike almost all other text-based games, The Grail Lords has an intentionally ugly mascot - that's adorable

The Grail Lords balances a pure-text medieval peasant interface with a smidge of magic.

longetivity; the game is stable enough that its worth engaging with the features
