NOTE TO READER:
This post is the beginning of an Introductory course for new Splinterlands players.
The course is still under development, but I expect each installment will take a few days and be released as it is ready.
Links for each lesson will be updated once content is ready, but I have the full course plan below so you can see where we are going!
Once it's all complete, I'll remove this bubble.
Thanks for reading and if you have constructive criticism let me know in the discord!

The Splinterlands is a dangerous place.
You've taken your first few steps in this new world. But each step further shows you how much more you need to learn.

This series of articles is intended to introduce you to the vast body of knowledge that you can acquire in this complex world.
