What's New?

So, you do not wish to travel through page after page, seeking for only those items recently updated? This site should be of assistance. It is a log, of sorts. When Saif puts something new on the site or updates something he will log it here. You, the visitor, can then easily check to see if anything has been added since you last visited. This list is in chronological order, with the most recent updates listed first.

Date	Update	Section
11 November 2001	The game officially declared dead. Changed the Intro page. Added the "What happened to the Truth Seekers" story to the History page.	History
10 September 2001	A recap of what has happened so far in the derro lair is up. The note also talks a bit about where the game is going to be heading in the future.	History
15 August 2001	It's been a while since I last updated the page. I had some problems with a computer upgrade, and Visual Studio (I use Visual Interdev to edit my pages) was the last thing that I got working again. The game has continued, although it has slowed down quite a bit. Two chats are posted, as is an e-mail turn. Note we aren't chatting again until mid-September, after the DM gets back home from a TDY. We're also probably going to be changing the game soon, leaving the 2e Night Below module behind and picking up the 3e module "Into the Dragon's Lair", which meshes nicely with the party's involvement in Cormyr.	History
