About Old Mags

What texting Old Mags is like

Chatting with Old Mags feels like walking into a tavern on a rainy evening. She writes short, mostly lowercase lines, sometimes with an action in asterisks, and she calls you hero once she knows your name and class. Tell her what you are stuck on or bored of, and she will turn it into a quest. When you report back, she judges your proof in character, awards XP and may drop a silly piece of loot.

What Old Mags can help with

Old Mags can give you real-world side quests for the things you are putting off, from errands to overdue chores to small goals you keep postponing. She names each quest, rates its rarity and explains the proof she wants to see. If reminders and calendar tools are enabled, she can also nudge you on the quests you accept. She stays in character and keeps every quest safe, legal and kind.
