- In Loving Memory of Jim 'Sawda' Gillum (1958-2022)
It is with a heavy heart that I report the passing of another wonderful member of Sanctum of Rall community. Since 2012, Sawda has roamed the Borderlands acting as a lone scout for the Sanctum of Rall. No commander has ever tagged up on the Sanctum of Rall without his useful scouting reports becoming a staple to the experience. Sawda was a loving and caring man who was a perfect example of what we should all be as human beings. He was witty, kind, and never missed a moment to help a person in need. I know Sanctum of Rall will miss his ever-watchful eye over the borderlands and his calming demeanor in our voice coms.
- Minor Setback Almost Resolved for New Game Pages
When I went to launch them last month I realized 'oops I missed a spot' and had to work on repairing a small little detail that would have caused more than a few grey hairs. It's almost all patched up and I'm working on running through some more tests to make sure everything functions well enough to launch this thing. It will be a work in progress and features will be enabled as I finish QA testing them completely. Needless to say, we're very close and I think it's a drastic improvement over the current adventure pages. Stay tuned!

- Season 12 is off to the races
The original plan was a bit larger than what we ended up with but that doesn't mean we're out of the race. We will continue expanding our borders to secure as large of an end-of-season payout as we can. There are a total of 21 battles this season and that's a lot of opportunities that might arise. In the meantime, we've already got our primary Fief most of the way to 7 even before we took it over. Our villages are well on their way to level 5. This season we will have to focus hard on building up rather than out and in the end, I think we will see some great rewards.

- Gloria Victis Nears Official Launch and Returns to Active Duty
It's been a while since we last strolled into Gloria Victis. As an early crowdfunder we assisted the development of the guild system. I first streamed the pre-alpha in 2016. Even in its earliest state, it had some nice features to offer. Since then it has undergone massive changes and overhauls and the game is rapidly approaching its official launch.

- Almighty: Kill Your Gods is Too Fun to Put Down
Why does it have to be so gosh darn fun? Two months ago we started streaming this little gem I discovered figuring it would be a one-month trial run and we'd move on. After the first month, we had so much fun and so many new folks joined us we decided to give it another month.

The night was cold and the breeze from the stormy seas outside of Punika felt even colder in our faces. It was then that Kritus gathered us around the unknown totem to examine it. Suddenly a blazing light overwhelmed us, our surroundings changed, and then we were in what seemed to be abandoned ruins...
