EFUSL
What is EFUSL?
EFUSL stands for EFU: Statistics and Logging. It is a web based system that interfaces with the NWN game server to aggregate data and record in-game developments. Although the vast majority of features are for DM eyes only, many conveniences have been implemented for the broader community. As examples, you can use EFUSL to see...
- ...the names of player characters currently online!
- ...how many DMs are in-game!
- ...your character sheet!
- ...a helpful few charts!
How do I access EFUSL?
EFUSL is a separate website, so you'll have to attend the following link: EFUSL
You will need to validate your EFUSL account with a Discord account. All the better, as we'll be glad to see you soon in the official EFU Discord channel! #EFU
Create an account there and you'll receive a unique code string! Do not share the code with anyone! Copy the code and post it in-game on any character. The code will automatically link your CD key to your EFUSL account. \
Congratulations! That's all you have to do! You'll have full access to EFUSL functions in no time at all! But if you have any trouble along the way, feel free to ask questions on our Discord server. We're happy to help.
Player Character Notes
One of the most important features of EFUSL are the Player Character Notes. Often abbreviated as PCN, these are OOC notes on your character's goals and activities that only you and DMs can see. Character Notes are accessed by logging into EFUSL, going to the 'My Characters' tab and then clicking the PC you want to make notes on. You will then see a box allowing you to make a comment (max 1024 characters per comment).
DMs aren't omniscient. As such, PCNs help keep them informed about your character developments, understand what's going on with them, and keep up to date with their latest antics and accomplishments.
Although it is recommended that you keep your PCNs informative and brief, it is sometimes necessary to create a particularly long or complex PCN entry, beyond what EFUSL can support. Thus, you should feel welcome to include links to externally hosted screenshots or to longer entries on forums, document hosts, and elsewhere. In particular, the EFU forum possesses a section specifically set aside for extra long PCN posts; you can create a ticket there under the 'Player Character Notes' subforum and post a link to it in a character's EFUSL page!
