Again into a new World we go. Lets see what awaits us this time.

The nexus is very crowded place. It's time to move out!

If you hear a bump in the night, it's just me. Forgot my torch in the Nexus.

L'Oracle m'a dit "tu dois chercher le Peuple du Monolithe", mais je ne sais ni pourquoi ni pour quoi faire...
Quelqu'un a-t-il un embryon de réponse à cette énigme ?

The pale lord was silent as he read the parchment, bought from a guard for a promise.  

He scanned the names of the others in this shifting place, of unnatural airs and the sense of scraping on frayed nerves always at the edge of perception.

And then he froze.

There, in the spidery scrawl of the guard, it was in sepia.  

They were here.

Another slightly different gane since 1998

Honk!

Stay away

The Elf woke up. "Again ?"

Eeny Meeny Miny Mo
Wistful Thinking wistfully goes.

We're starting the play! Make yourself comfortable...

Looking out into the world we are cautious of conflict and strife.  We have seen enough in the past, world after world.  We shall bring knowledge and simplicity.  This shall suffice.

Selling stones and selling artifact! 

New lands and new riches.

The Elder trees are bacK!!!  Long live Ents!

Exciting times ahead.

pun intended.

Welcome one and welcome all.
Queen Xot is ever willing to accept your tribute.
Unless it's fire from the Dragon's breath. Burn scars are always difficult to hide beneath concealer.

Buka!

I believe in you, my dear friend...
... this Believe was keeping me from the arrow on a dark night

Greetings Friends and Enemies!!!

As always, the sole wizard to be thrust through the void found himself in what could only be described as a featureless plain. Which way to go? The last three times they had followed the desert wind - should they stick to the same old formula? Perhaps a mountain breeze was better this time.

Dear Diary - 
A new journey begins. Where it takes me is still uncertain, exploring this vast new land will be exiting, exhausting and an adventure like no other. 

We waited!

The quest has begun!
Let's step into the unknown!

Jeremy has arrived. A young man with big ambitions. Inexperienced, weak, and somewhat foolish, even he knows he probably doesn't stand a chance in this chaotic world. But he will try. He will build. He will support others. He will not spend several turns trying to figure out how gateways work. He will gain wisdom and experience.

First full game! Let's see if I can do any better than just building a boat and scattering my people everywhere.

The sword hums at Elric's side. The souls of the champions gathered here are powerful, and they could sate its appetite, at least for a while, but now it is not the time. Soon.

New world lies ahead. The world that keeps its fate hidden deep in the underabyss.

What strange world is this?!?

The Game, Mrs Hudson, is on!

Right, so, what am I doing?

Let's Start the Journey

Greetings travelers from distant land! 

Brave new world is before us, I hope we will bring peace and prosperity to its citizens. 
Let us build better world then the one we left behind.


Best of luck,
Master Copy

The crack of carapace and a waft of dust mark the emergence of the DeathScarab on the new world.  Time to find a nice location for the breeding pits and start the new swarm.

Let the fun begin, good luck everyone

Ghosts in the Mist

From out of shadows, and without warning
They've come to join the war, who they fighting for?
Like phantoms in the dark, they're hunting
They silently command, who is the unseen hand?

With fury, rage controlled, contained
They strike at the heart of the storm
And though we may believe we're saved
There's chaos that threatens to form

"Oh what a lovely young girl", everybody would say.
You can still here her laugh in the shadows on a cold winter's day.

One small step ... into the unknow.

Where will we land?

The wise one peered into the void, choosing a direction to first venture out to...
The Cartographers have landed in this new world, We seek to gather the mapping data of these new lands. to this end, let it be known, we shall propose a pact - share map data with us and in return you shall receive a combined map of this new lands. Our aim is to map the entire globe. we will be in contact as our map develops..... the Cartographers look forward to hearing from you. we come in peace and with one mission

The Sage gazed out into the void. He knew he would soon encounter the warrior know as Groo and his faithful offsider Ruferto, Into the darkness he ventured, soon he would aid this hero in his quest. The Sage knew he must begin the learnings of the arcane in order to aid Groo, it was imperative that he gathered allies, for the battle ahead would be the greatest challenge The Sage had ever encountered. Everything was riding on these first few months.

having made his decision, The Sage strode forth into the abyss. the Adventures of Groo the Wanderer begin in this new realm...

Welcome to the new world.  Please reach out for a chat.

The atmosphere was one of nervousness. There was a mixture of fear of the unknown and excitement for what the future would bring. Ahson looked at the faces of those gathered there. Among them were those who would be his allies and also his enemies, but how could he recognize them? No one but time could give him the answer. Ahson looked at each of the 7 holes that invited him to enter into a new life. He looked at them all and chose one. He began to walk towards his Destiny.

Another world without Holden?

There has been some back chatter in the dark web. Just search "Atlantis Secret Alliance" in the Wairangi platform and the messages are very revealing!

The Greywolf! 
We're going for your fur!

Traipan is not a snake.  He's a cuddly python.  Anyone need a hug?

Cthulhu Ftaghn!

Ash dusts the doorway
From infinity's crossroads
into a new dawn

The two supreme leaders of Roses on White Lace, Cooper and Alice, plan to enslave all Lizardmen.
