Welcome to Puppillars!
Greetings, to both our longtime members and new ones alike! On this page we have all the things you need to get started on our site and in our ARPG!
What is Puppillars?
Puppillars is a closed species ARPG, which means we are an art-driven community with activities and fun things to do on our site, but only members can participate using officially recognized Characters. You do NOT need a Puppillars character to join our group however, or even participate in our activities! Most activities can be completed by using the group's official mascots, or another member's Puppillar (with their permission)!
Puppillars are magical, multi-legged dogs with a vibrant history and community of thier own! Puppillars also co-exist with our other species who inhabit and influence the world as well. Members both participate in, and help develop the Puppillars world through our activities and events. Members can adopt a character or create their own to use in events, with traits that have different levels of rarity!
By participating in activities and events, members can earn our currency, Treats, which can be used to buy things in group! Members also receive treats for submitting art of any kind, and treats earned by submitting art will be calculated by staff and added to your account, just by submitting to our gallery!
We reccomend that all new members take some time clicking around the various links on or site to get a feel for how everyrthing works, and you can find a detailed guide on how to navigate our site here!

FAQS
Why do I need to verify my account with an alias?
With our Lorekeeper framework, registering with an alias is required as a way to verify the account isn't a bot. Any account used for verification does not need to be active, and non-primary aliases can be hidden on site if the member chooses!
Why do I need a DeviantArt account to claim my old Cache?
Since our Group started out on Deviantart, dA accounts are currently required in order to verify if you were an existing member of the group before we moved to Lorekeeper (and possibly need to transfer existing items), and to make sure no one is trying to impersonate an old member when joining in order to try and claim their items or Puppillars. If you were not a member of our group back in the Deviantart days, you do not need to worry about claiming anything and can just start fresh!
Can I change my username after I've signed up?
Yes! If you would like to change your username please contact a staff member, we can change your site name on our admin panel. There is a month cooldown for name change requests.
What about my aliases, can I change them?
Yes, if you have moved to a new account, on any of your registered aliases, you can remove old ones and add new ones via your Settings page, specifically the Aliases page!
How many treats do I get for X type of art/writing/etc?
We have a breakdown of our treats valuing system on this Google Sheet for you to see all the values!
If you have any questions not covered here, please ask in our #ask-staff channel on our Discord Server!
