A Message from the Dungeonmaster (05/04/2008)

So, with an epic battle, and unexpected happy ending, our adventurous journey of the past year has finally drawn to a close. While this particular story has come to an end, fear not: the world of Myterra and the intricate tales woven by the lives of the player-characters are far from over! They shall return, in one form or another, to this magnificent world that all the players have helped me to forge from pure imagination. In all my years of gaming, one thing I’ve learned is that it’s next to impossible to have such a large gaming-party to maintain a consistent campaign almost weekly for an entire year. I thank all of you who participated; it was no small feat, and your overall dedication is to be commended.

However, all good stories must come to an end. There will be no scheduled game sessions for the next several weeks. During this time it is my hope to complete the adventure logs with a relentless clarity that will accurately retell your stories with all the detail and grandeur deserved of them. As well, it is planned to more completely encompass the World of Myterra, in all of its massive detail here in our campaign wiki (something that, while already contains quite a reference, has still been sorely neglected simply due to a lack of free time to work on it).

When we return to the world of the Seven Secrets in the coming months, there will be a steadfast and dependable wealth of information to help develop your roles further. Until then; I bid you all adieu, and once again thank you for helping to make this past year one filled with suspense and adventure. Sincerely, Justin Mason (Dungeonmaster)
