The VHL, An Initial Impression

[Buddha 26]

Greetings and welcome to my humble article on my initial experiences and interactions within the VHL community.

 

After becoming intrigued hearing about the VHL on a youtube video, I found myself signing up with no Idea what to expect.

I created my first character, set up his skills without doing much study because I'm a masochist and wanted to see how going on instinct turned out. 

In what felt like no time I received a comment from Nurx and found myself on the Miami Marauders, immediately after joining the discord, I'm welcomed to the team and start talking with my new team. 

I'm given some guides on TPE and point tasks, have a chat and learn a bit more about how the skills work.

Feeling a bit daunted by the idea of tasks as I've always had a bit of a problem sharing creative attempts, I bite the bullet and post a rough attempt at a graphic, it's nothing great, horrid colour choice for text.
Not long after posting it I receive some replies, the community reassuring me that the effort is what counts and offered some friendly tips on how to make improvements.

Bolstered by the warmth in my initial interations I have since begun engaging more in the team discord, trying my hand at a few different point tasks.

With this brief summary of my initial participation in anything VHL in mind, I'd like to take a brief moment to offer my initial impression of joining.

 

Although somewhat nerve-wracking initally, the community was warm and open, it felt like people were genuinely excited to have someone new giving it a go.

Your work doesn't have to be phenomenal, as long as your putting the energy the community in large will offer praise on your attempt and offer some areas that might help you get it how you want it.

The environment I've experienced both in the team discord and on the forum is one of nurture and love for the game.

it's infectious in it's own ingenious way.

 

Well that ended up a bit longer than I intended, Thanks for your time in reading.

Truly, the path to Nirvana is through solid Defense, gradually improving TPE tasks and gratuitous use of Clue Glue™.
