Alright, so I haven't written anything here for a while, but I assure everyone that I'm still alive. There are a couple reasons for this, the most obvious of which being my work on my master's program.

So I am in a bit of a funk as of late, not really down bad but just a little bit below what I find to be normal. Since I find that my better writing is coming to me less fluidly than normal, I figure I

I feel kinda lousy today, so I don't have much in me to write, but I want to weigh in about the Loreshaper Games release schedule for the next year or so (as planned). Because I'm doing freelancing now,
