Hey Ereki!

The guildmasters have been thinking once again.

As you’ve noticed, activity has been pretty low here. Same with the other guilds.

Hello Ereki!

Apologies for the lack of posting last week. I was camping (with some local Story Embers peeps!). But here I am again, and I’ve decided that we’ll host a double-feature discussion this week. I’ll post last week’s discussion now, and this week’s discussion on Wednesday. That way we get a chance to talk about both, and we’ll be up to…[Read more]
