Feb 8 2002 Cart Before Horse?
More progress has been made on the end of the saga, this might be seen as bad writing strategy but I think we universally agree that it is good to be clear about where we are going now. It's certainly clarified the roles of the charaters (if not their pasts). Comments from proof readers should go to Opal Castegar.

Sep 17 2001 Gruelly Progress
Another chunk by Opal Castegar inserted into Eight, Speck takes another turn with the book and there is some fine story telling by Arn. Eleven still trickles onward. I've been amusing myself and bouncing ideas around on Fantasy Online, have a peek at it. Our online game is slowly taking form, even if that is a very D&D format and our entry page has a new look, thanks to a quick doodle and some clever digital camera work.

June 11 2001 Castegar's Research

June 10 2001 Vedian Explorer Prototyped
The Vedian online experience is here - well that's not entirely true. The first ideas for making a Vedian online experience are here. We will need to set up some pages just for discussing the online explorer but for the moment we have a taste of the character creation section.
 
May 30 2001 Moot Of Vedian Explorers
The air is thick with excitement over the Vedian Explorers summit coming up at the next summer solstice. The location is likely to be a hostelry but so far no more details have been disclosed. Mithril Silver is rumoured to be returning from the far lands specifically to attend at the invitation of Opal Castegar. Let us hope he brings some more of those wonderful cigars!
