  1. Hey Everyone,

    On 15 March, Star Wars Author and all around good guy Troy Denning held a book signing in Indiana. Our very own Muz, Ashia, Braecen, and Exo attended the event and Muz presented Troy with our first "honorary member" plaque. Troy was very impressed and was thoughtful enough to pose for the picture below. Take a look at the pimp plaque with our website graphics.

    This is the first event of many that the DB is going to participate in as a way to get our name to the larger Star Wars public and to help our recruitment cause. Big thanks to all who passed out fliers and all who donated their time and money for the betterment of the DB.

    Fiction Report


    What I Do
    I spent the past month on a few different projects. Primarily I worked on the Armed Forces of the Iron Throne wikitization phase. I had re-worked the Brotherhood's military over the last several months and am now publishing it on the wiki. It's a pain in the ass, but the wiki is a nice tool to realize projects like this that exist only in text form and it helps to flesh them out.

    I'm working my way through the Brotherhood navy cleaning up and expanding those articles and will then move on to create the ground forces articles. I'll be tapping you all again soon to help me flesh out the commanders for these units in the form of another Background Checks... competition. Once these articles are in, I'll go back through and include imagery I've created for various articles and generally get them looking sharp.

    I also did some work on the new Force Powers descriptions to clean up the text a bit, put everything in a consistent tense, and make a few suggestions. A few other things: Worked on the Discipline System; finalized the long-delayed first plot update and created some images for it; created the fiction competitions for June; renamed the fiction forum; and started some work that will hopefully make it into The Ninth Great Jedi War.

    Heads Up
    The new deadline for the following competitions will be June 1st. Let me know if you need more time.







    I've had some good feedback on my competitions so far. I've also taken some ideas that were suggested and will look to create some competitions more specifically geared towards advancing your characters, particularly Elders. I'm also looking to get the warbanner of the overall best winning fiction submitted each month placed up on the main site. Ideally it would hang there for all to see until the next month's winners go up.

    Reading
    Pretty much blew through the Legacy of the Force series this month. Much better than the New Jedi Order and Dark Nest series that preceeded it. Check that link for the free PDF of the first novel Betrayal.

    The Independent Games have officially ended and regular gaming has returned. I want to remind everyone that the RoCs are in effect and that when playing JO/JA that you have to use OFFICIAL servers - servers that have been approved by the GM, DGM, and myself.

    The Server list can be found here. As you've all probably noticed by now, the Kr'Tal JA server has been retired. I'd like to thank Duga for all the time and money he spent ensuring we had great gaming servers when there were so few around.

    I recently sent an email to Sarin, Muz, et al about official server requirements. When they get back to me on that I'll add them to the wiki page and people with servers will be able to apply, providing they meet the requirements.

    On the ICTE front, I just wanted to let everyone know that May 24th will be a double CF ICTE. Hopefully this will entice some of you weary IG gamers to come out and play. That would be the Saturday after next.



    PS: For this week, since it was cut short due to IGs, there will be no Pendant of Blood up for grabs. Also, there will be no monthly gaming competition until June.

  6. Invincible & Troy Denning

    Invincible, the final installment of the Legacy of the Force Series, is now on shelves. In this ninth novel, Luke Skywalker is faced with the decision of whether or not to kill the newly minted Dark Lord of the Sith - Darth Caedus. Jaina, Jacen's twin sister, is also tasked with realizing the truth behind her destiny as the "Sword of the Jedi." Read the final book that lays the groundwork for the reemergence of the Dark Jedi and the future of Darth Krayt.

    For those of you whom are fortunate enough to live near Indiana there is an added benefit! Troy Denning - author of Invincible - will be in Westfield, IN at Barnes & Nobles tomorrow, May 15th, to sign his newly released book. The festivities start at 7PM EST. The first 500 will receive Dark Horse comics, the first 1000 will get a free mini - compliments of Wizards of the Coast - and everyone will have a chance to meet the man behind the dramatic conclusion to this series!

    If you need directions or have questions, please contact me via e-mail (BMCoffey13@aol.com).
  7. IGs - Final Push

    The Independence Games will continue to run until the close of May 14th, 11:59 PM EST. At that time, the web site will be closed to new submissions and the Judges will be sent the appropriate files to grade. So lets make sure we give them plenty to do!

    Plenty of opportunities still exist for everyone to earn Crescents! And remember that for each valid submission you will receive an Independence Games Seal (created by Muz)! The top three will also be honored with an additional award and the bragging rights of Independence Games 2008 Champions. Lets get to work and make that final push, folks.
