If you are completely new to Paw'D, a great way to get started is to simply read the comic on the main page.

On the second page, pick the name of your character by typing it into the form on the second panel, and its gender by checking the box. You can also get a new colour by clicking the dice on the side of the form. Once you are done, click the arrow - this will check if the name is still available, create your character, and lead you straight to the game.

Before you start your adventure, you will be shown the Terms of Service, asked to pick a password, and select a character class. Right now, there are three classes: Warriors, Priests and Mages (a fourth class, the Hunter, is currently being designed, and is available for anyone to test once they reached the level cap on one of their other characters). After that, you are all set, and continue the story playing in the Jungle of Midnight Mountain.

As you play, your progress is constantly saved. So, if you want to take a break, you can always return right where you left off by clicking the big, red [Play Now] button on the top of the page and entering the name you just picked, and the password.


The Jungle of Midnight Mountain serves as a sort of tutorial area - it will teach you the basic controls that you need later in the game. Don't worry, you won't be fighting (though you will be running to avoid a few monsters), and you can try as many times as you like.


So, how does Paw'D work?

  • Each adventurer has a character level, which gives you a rough idea how strong they are.
  • Fighting monsters and completing quests awards you experience. If your experience bar fills all the way up, your level increases.
  • Whenever your level increases, you get a skill point, and several stat points. Skill points let you learn new abilities in your skillbook, while stat points lets you increase how much damage you do, how much health you have, and so on.
  • You can reset your skills and stats, so you are not locked in to your choice.
  • Completing quests and fighting monsters you run into on he way is the best way to gain experience.
