Hey Saxon Scribes,

Soooo… this doesn’t directly affect you, but I thought you should know. The guildmasters had a meeting and determined that the long-term logistics of running the guilds was just too much. It takes a lot of energy from us and there’s not a whole lot the guilds give that you can’t get elsewhere.

Now, we’re not shutting down…[Read more]

Okay, folks, I want to talk about VILLAINS.

(Wow, so surprising.)

I was wondering why some villains have the power to terrify us while others are more like a tired and sarcastic uncle in background. I see lots and lots of complex & sympathetic baddies (Kylo Ren, Loki), and tons of deranged psychos (Thanos, Mother Gothel, the White Witch), but…[Read more]

Hey guys!

Three announcements concerning New Wessex.

1. I know sometimes community building, brainstorming, etc can be difficult on a forum. So I’m going to run an experiment. I’m going to create a group chat. You guys vote. It could be Facebook, it could be Hangouts. We’ll see how it goes. 😛

Hey everybody! 😊 So I could use some help with my short story, it’s just a 15 minute read at the most. I’m expected to submit it on Wednesday and I want to make sure that the grammar, punctuation and theme are all perfect. I’m worried I might have missed something, so any constructive criticism you have would be helpful! Thanks guys! &#x1f…[Read more]
