This is the discussion related to the wiki page The Backrooms Travel Agency.
A page that despite not being a level, entity or tale manages to keep you engaged with ease. Overall, it's a really cool read, especially for the concept. Yeah let's contact this group of people to give you a trip through the Backrooms, what could go wrong.
+1 From me.
Hey uh, travelrooms was a concept worked on by me and a few others a few years ago which we had concepts for. I'm stoked to see that you wanted to work with the idea but I would've appreciated at least a dm asking if you can use the theme to repurpose it. I have no say on what you do in the end but as the maker of the theme I don't endorse this iteration of travelrooms as it doesn't fit what we were going for back then.
There are roads,
a samurai must travel…
Hey, sorry for the lack of communication; I asked on Discord and was told that you and/or the original creators of the theme had abandoned it long ago or weren't active? In any case I assure you this idea and concept were my own, and later while I was searching for fitting themes I happened to find your theme. I can add a disclaimer specifying that you don't endorse this if you want. Thanks.
Honestly, really love the concept and execution! It makes a lot of sense too, that eventually as the Backrooms gets levels that are more and more populated there'd be demand for services like guides.
Just gotta ask, what are they paid in? It's clear they have different services but what's the difference in cost and what's the payment they take? I know in another article the MEG mentioned a group was trying to get experimental currency going on so is it something like that?
Next, I really really love how casually ominous this one line is:
We would like to remind you that our employees exclusively work in uniform. Do not follow anyone else claiming to be from Travel Rooms. We don't know who they are.
Like you immediately think of scammers or con artists, but this is the Backrooms we're talking about so there's a lot more left to interpretation.
TBH I could dig more Backrooms survivors worldbuilding. Great job!
Thank you mate!
Payment is in valuable resources like usual; almond water, useful Objects, weapons, or even information. And while the first two price classes are affordable cuz they are indeed a benevolent group, Premium needs more funding (traversing SD 5 levels, "secret service-esque" protection of POIs, potential enemy hostiles etc)
And yeah I love that line too haha
This is a very good GoI. I haven't read a page that wasn't a tale or Level that has kept me interested like this. Great job! If you are a new user, then I'm surprised.
+1 from me.
Just a high schooler who thinks he is good at writing. Likes working on a lot of stuff, ranging from writing for the Backrooms Wiki, to providing critique, and reading. ~ Pen.

Why did the theme and group name just change? :(
𐤊
Unfortunately there was some conflict with an old abandoned project by Sariastuff, which copyrighted the name "travel rooms" and the theme which was made specifically for it.
I had no choice but to either rewrite the article to fit the dead project, or completely separate and change from it. :(
