The Getting Started thing is a very good idea. I'm thinking of a
"Official Arianne Players Guide" where the details of the world and
the RPG System are explained.

(BTW I dont understand question 5, please explain...)

But that is currently a thing for the future, I think it has no sense
including this in the FAQ for now. After all, the whole "playing"
section of the FAQ is empty. Because there is nothing to play.


Good documentation of the game (Player's Guide), and good player
support (Getting Started Guide) are important issues though, and I'd
like to do some of that, when the time has come.

IMO the FAQ should currently concentrate on two things:

1) Helping people to download, compile and run Arianne
2) Giving future developers info about what, when and how to
contribute.

Info on 2) is currently availlable, but it is distributed onto
5 servers or so, most of it is outdated, or not specific enough.
Unifying them is necessary.
