Greetings, Gatekeepers!

We have been driven from our home, cut and bleeding, bones broken. Yet, we are not defeated. The Hutt may have laid her slimy claim on our Port, imprisoned our people, killed and wounded many more, but we will not run with our tails between our legs. Rise, Gatekeepers, and grab your weapons. We have the Phantom Complex to reclaim.

It has been a bit since my last report and we have all been knee-deep in Arcona’s Sins for the past month. This fiction is going to address a couple things with a bit of sinful flavoring here and there. Or a lot. I guess you’ll just have to buckle in and see. (I actually think this is what most would call a ‘short’ report? :P)

Shadow Gate News

The ends of Sins is approaching soon and with a war on the horizon sometime in the near future, we have some opportunities for grabbing some practice with each other. My thinking, and I think many of you would enjoy, is that we run a team Run-on. What would be some fun scenarios you would like to see the team tackle? Throw those ideas into this forum right here.

As always, feel free to run a competition ideas that you have. Organizing competitions are a great way to give to our community. If you have any ideas, run it by me as well as Terran and Maenaki (Kat).

Special Topic: Sneak peak!

So, I may have been super inspired by our amazing Sins III Fiction updates (Y’all better be reading!) and may have been scribbling away at something. This is but a small snippet from it, but much more would spoil it. I'll be flinging the finished piece at you later. Enjoy this sneak peak-ish.

In Closing

First thing first, thank you all for being an amazing group. I love working with all of you and hope to continue doing so for a while yet. Each of you bring something unique to our team and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I also want to thank Tali who, once again, helped typed up sections of this report and gather activity. He has been slowly learning markdown in the progress. I greatly appreciate the help.

Only a few hours left for Sins, so let’s headbutt those entries in. I hope you all enjoyed the event, the updates, and will take a few minutes to give feedback when Terran and Atty sends out the form. Wish you all well and continued fun!
