@Pebblycat -- I'm thrilled that you have decided to become a Murklander! YAY!!!
Ok, to answer your questions, please use either aging off or long life because there's a second challenge after the first and I want to make sure you have time to do both, if you want.
I will be having other challenges -- one with the Infected and one with the Mutant Raccoons and one for the gym but they will be smaller than the starter challenge. You can play Murkland any way that you want (moving from household to household BUT for the starter challenge you will either be your simself or Dusty). If you choose not to play Dusty, go ahead and add her to the Burner Campers.
I'm going to say no to the potions because when I played tested the challenge, I didn't use any. Maybe that's something that can be added to a side challenge -- I'll have to think on that.
Please come here with any questions and to post screenies! I am super excited that you want to start!
And I will continue to add lots and households. Murkland is a WIP so you are a pioneer!
Hugs and hip bumps!
