AHA. You! You were the no-name, no-sheet lich of the Fortress of the Damned. When I dug through the old Discords' posts, you were referred to as Zach, not Zell, and there just wasn't any trace of you I could dig up when I tried inbetween other things. I couldn't for the life of me remember whose avatar it was although I recognized it. Glad to have one mystery solved, you're welcome aboard if it please you.

To those observing purely by watching the interest check; the relaunch in full is imminent. Fresh OOC/IC OP going up today, or over the weekend at worst. Onboard from the outset are myself, The Captain as co-GM (bounce enough ideas off each other that we may as well) and Genni, Gorgenmast and Willy Vereb from the original players; newcomers on board and with well-seated concepts in the Southwest and East of the map respectively are Chicken and ArisenMoon, as a scorned Justinian legion sent to the bleak frontier for political rabble-rousing at home and a league of Baktrian-Elladan city states, consumed in a merchant backed color revolution gone far awry from its original short-leashed intent into a full-blown violent secession as the plebs exterminate the original exoteric leadership of the operation. After that goes up and everyone is nicely established, I'll be hopping into collab posts to actually make an in-narrative mark already.

As other notes; occasional work is being done on an underlying metaphysic/cosmology arrangement, Justinian and Daigon have more or less taken shape as characters/plot devices and their nation-constructs likewise though room remains for further fleshing out, and I'm experimenting with the use of a simple Kanban board program to keep track of everything once we get into motion. It's not very full now, and thus not very necessary, but it's an idea at least to make GMing that little bit smoother or more organized. Keep posted, ye lurkers!

I've never used Kanban but I can't say that I'm against the idea.

I'll be watching for the OOC. I'm working on my faction sheet, but I have a post to make in a Battletech thread tonight, too.

At the latest, expect a rough faction sheet tomorrow.

I've got a new intro post ready to go upon launch in addition to my original post from last thread. Just keep me posted

New thread here. I wanted to get the OP completely finished if at all possible, filling out all sections, but faction summary blocks/bullets and racial descriptions (paraphrased old ones or totally new ones) will have to wait. That information can be iterated and reiterated to new folks & rejoiners ad hoc in the short meantime, so all should be well; the alternative of waiting to try and chew through it all to post on probably a Sunday evening or worse to miss my deadline and get into weekdays, where it'll be far less likely to be peeked at than if I threw it up now, was not a pleasing one, and I will not break my pledge to have something up in this timeframe. A lot of the new text crawl is paraphrased, a lot of it is new setting information that's been pegged down or hooks imagined. I managed to fill out all the place sections. The faction sheet is a little bit better or at least more explicitly explained. In the minutes following from now, I'm going to throw my sheet hider in, and the previous games' sheets awaiting return player in hiders in the same character post.

Edit: Right, I should also do this, for those who aren't subscribed. Fuzzy brained, not taking enough time to think. @Flagg, @Legion02, @Aquamarine, things are hopefully getting off the ground again, as the effort poured into the OP and quite decently dedicated Discord activity (in spite of DMs for early gatekept concepting obscuring it) even with a small core should indicate. Phone in as to whether you'll be hopping along or not and when.

@Wernher, @Bright_Ops and @The Nexerus, whenever you get muse or time back, you're welcome as always. I'll try not to botch anything or see unfaithful writing put up in the meantime, especially if I decide it necessary to add onto a forked NPC version of your sheets.

In the case of Nexerus in particular, thank you for taking time from your presumably quite limited schedule the other day to clarify information and discuss bits & bobs again, and I do hope I'll be able to consult you again in this mild fashion in the future, as I rather value the work we've done or that I've witnessed you do in this short time.

I think that's everything, did I forget anything?
