Breaking News:

Some of our more alert guests and residents may have noticed that our bulletin board has hit an iceberg and sort of sunk. This is a TEMPORARY SITUATION. Even now, our technosupremo Matt Dusek is bailing icy water like a man possessed. In fact, we're taking up a collection to buy him a bucket because his hands are getting cold.

Seriously, as some of you may have heard, we had a major motherboard meltdown -- the mother of all motherboard meltdowns -- and are taking advantage of the devastation and discontinuity to bring back up a better and more functional bulletin board, with new software. We'll keep you posted, and hope to have things fixed well before Christmas.

The rest of the site is back (or you wouldn't be reading this! Yes, I know!) so in the interim please feel free to browse its manifold wonders, which you veterans may not have seen in some time, hurrying as you usually do to fly straight to the board and buddies, and which will yield many treasures to those new to Shadowmarch.

Thanks for your patience.

Tad
