📚 Starter Guide

Baobears are a species of small, palm-sized dumpling bears by miyabau. You can learn about their lore here. Baobears are closed species, which means you need permission to create one and have them be "official"! Permission is granted by using a MYO (make your own) slot. You can find out more below.

The baobear ARPG, or art role playing game, is an optional activity for the group. Players can receive in-game items and rewards for completing prompts and other activities. These can be used to change your baobears appearance, obtain MYO slots, and much more!
Even if you do not have a baobear, you can still participate in the ARPG and most activities.
