You will need to Create an AIMOO ID http://www.aimoo.com
Those of you who had an AIMOO ID for Blood and Wine can simply rename their AIMOO ID to your new character name in the Profile section.

Every so often, those who post to the board will be e-mailed telling them they have earned an extra Skill Pick or extra Pick due to their experience. Sometimes you will be e-mailed saying you have acquired a new Flaw as well, if the context of the post justifies it. (As in, you gamble and lose a lot of money in New Las Vegas in a post, you may see Debt show up as a flaw if you couldn’t pay up)
