== NYC General Information ==<br />
<br />
=== Getting In/Out of NYC ===<br />
<br />
Your airport options are JFK, LGA (LaGuardia), and EWR (Newark). <br />
<br />
EWR is probably the cheapest, but also requires the most effort in terms of transit to/from NYC, as it's actually in New Jersey. LGA has buses that will take you to fairly convenient subway lines (see the "Travel Within NYC" section), though it's also terribly crowded and just a very unpleasant place. JFK is honestly a gorgeous airport, but is also fairly large, and a little less convenient - the buses that go there go to less convenient subways, or you can take AirTrain, which costs more. Disregard the travel issues if you're planning to take cabs the whole time, though that adds up fast too. <br />
<br />
For those of you not flying, Amtrak goes into Penn Station, and Greyhound stops at Port Authority Bus Terminal. There's also the super-cheap Chinatown buses and Megabus, if you're willing to take those risks. <br />
<br />
=== Travel Within NYC ===<br />
<br />
I don't recommend driving in NYC unless you're okay with a LOT of traffic and weird construction nonsense, plus very narrow roads and odd parking rules (or paying out the nose for parking garage space). <br />
<br />
Subway/bus service is all through [http://mta.info the MTA], which for all the complaining New Yorkers do is actually relatively reasonable: you can get basically anywhere for $2.75, plus a one time $1 fee for a card (and you can refill the card at any subway station). If you're staying for a while, the unlimited cards (7 or 30 day) can be worth it. MetroTech (the complex that contains NYU Game Center) is close to tons and tons of different stations (most notably Jay St Metrotech on the A/C/F/R, but also not far from Borough Hall on the 2/3/4/5). The MTA's own "Trip Planner Plus" is actually remarkably good at giving directions, as is Google Maps during weekdays (it's less reliable on weekends), but if you have any questions don't be afraid to ask. <br />
<br />
Both Lyft and Uber are very common and reliable here, though prices are high relative to other places. All Lyft/Uber rides I've had are actually part of commercial liveries, so it's actually quite safe! There are also hailable cabs - yellow in Manhattan and green everywhere else - but Lyft/Uber are more reasonable in price. If you haven't used these services yet, consider using [[User:Kawa-tan| my discount codes]].<br />
<br />
The vast vast majority of New York is very walkable, especially in midsummer. Bring good shoes and sunscreen! <br />
<br />
=== Accommodations ===<br />
<br />
Every major hotel chain has an outpost in NYC or two. AirBNB is pretty common here too. As a native, this is something I (Kawa) know less about, so if anyone has suggestions or rooms to offer, feel free to add to this!<br />
<br />
''Mr David - Don't forget New Jersey as an alternative option, Try to get something near the Path Train which has stops in Jersey City Journal Sq and Newark. The Path Train runs to Manhattan and you can transfer to main subway transit to Brooklyn once in Manhattan''<br />

'''Sproggiwood''' is a story-driven roguelike set in a humorous world inspired by Finnish mythology. It was developed by Freehold Games, creators of the roguelike [[Caves of Qud]].<br />
<br />
== Sproggiwood on Steam and Humble Store ==<br />
On October 24, 2014, Sproggiwood was released on [http://store.steampowered.com/app/311720 Steam] and the [http://www.humblebundle.com/store/p/sproggiwood_storefront Humble Store] for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Version [http://steamcommunity.com/games/311720/announcements/detail/162454622818891982 1.0.1] was released on October 31.<br />
<br />
== Description ==<br />
=== Story ===<br />
You’re a simple farmer from the peaceful island of Clog. One moment, you're tending your grove -- the next, you’re lured through a mysterious portal by a talking sheep. Now you’re the prisoner of Sproggi, a mischievous forest spirit who's built a whole village just for you. You have a simple job: tame the wild creatures that roam the forests of Sproggi's realm... <br />
<br />
Watch Sproggi's plans go awry when you discover a rival civilization on the rise to greatness. Will you choose to befriend these curious Mushroom people and stand together, or will you crush them and claim Sproggiwood for your own?<br />
<br />
=== Gameplay ===<br />
Sproggiwood aims to distill the roguelike genre down to its core fun ingredients: inspired character classes, interesting loot, and procedurally populated dungeons with monsters and traps that combine to produce unique tactical challenges. Several of the monster and trap designs take their inspiration from [[Caves of Qud]]. Adventure sessions are short and compact. Each dungeon dive follows the heroic rise of one adventurer from your civilization -- as you explore a dungeon, you customize your class powers by choosing level ups. As you advance the story, you unlock six unique adventuring classes -- simple farmer, brave warrior, merry archer, cunning thief, brainy wizard, and creepy vampire. Items unlocked in dungeons can be used for the duration of the dungeon dive, and then purchased in town for permanent use.<br />

=== Gameplay ===<br />
Sproggiwood aims to distill the roguelike genre down to its core fun ingredients: inspired character classes, interesting loot, and procedurally populated dungeons with monsters and traps that combine to produce unique tactical challenges. Several of the monster and trap designs take their inspiration from [[Caves of Qud]]. Adventure sessions are short and compact. Each dungeon dive follows the heroic rise of one adventurer from your civilization -- each time, you customize how you progress your class powers. As you advance the story, you unlock six unique adventuring classes -- simple farmer, brave warrior, merry archer, cunning thief, brainy wizard, and creepy vampire. Items unlocked in dungeons can be used for the duration of the dungeon dive, and then purchased in town for permanent use.<br />
