Some statistics:

Ten events run, including the briefings (plus the Nashkel events, at least three I know of).
Four DMs involved directly running events (plus two for Nashkel).
76 PCs involved in events covering offensive operations on the winding water (in addition to those in Nashkel and anyone who attended the briefings only)
Approximately 27 hours of DMing time (plus Nashkel!) on setting up or running events
Uncounted hours of backroom prep.
Lots and lots and lots of excellent player RP!

Once again, thank-you everyone for making it worthwhile.

There will be an IC summary up today, or tomorrow.
I want to give a special shout out to DMs Ink, Soulcatcher, Ghost, Theophanies and Foresight for their activity this weekend. We worked pretty seamlessly and thank-you all for coming out for my crazy idea :)

And everyone else on the team for putting up with our spam on the discord!

Thanks to both the DM team and the players who participated. It went much smoother than one would expect. I would also like to commend the effort to split the entire thing into several smaller events, instead of a single huge one. Ten people is manageable, gives RP opportunities to everyone, and it's not as messy.

Special thanks to DM Golem for bringing it home after what's coming close to a year of RP.

I have to second this!

Also, thank you to the group I was in! You all did a great job it was smooth, no OOC disturbances, and everyone played it out really well.

Also, thank you Soulcatcher, it was awesome that our RP and planning meant something and changed the outcome of the event.

An enormous thank you to all of the DMs and all of their tireless work on the Metaplot. As campaign coordinator I can tell everyone, we only see a tenth of al of the work that goes into organizing, planning, and orchestrating these events. To say the tip of the ice burge would be an understatement. Thank you all for all of your efforts, time, and everything you put into the setting. I couldn’t ask to be part of a better team.

Special thanks to Golem, Soulcatcher, Foresight, and Ghost for their hard work, set up, and dedicated time over the weekend as well as all DMs involved. We all have RL to deal with but these folks really put in the extra time to spread some enjoyment to everyone.

If you didn’t get in on recent events. Stay tuned there’s a lot more fun to come.

A great thank you to: DM Loki, DM Soulcatcher, DM Ghost, DM Doom, DM Forsight, DM Spartacus, and DM Golem

Thank you all for your hard and continued work in bringing the server alive. DMing takes a lot of work, writing, collaboration, patience, and concentration. With all of your help and dedication it makes running events so much easier. Players may never know how wild that DM chat gets (/d), but its a team effort to keep everything going.

Thank to our Devs, Media Team, and all of staff for your hard work and dedication.


And to the players: Thank you all for your follow up and continued patience. Plenty in the works to look forward to!

Big thanks to Rad-Icarus and the devs involved in expanding the Northern frontline, and for the populating each step with more and more challenging spawns- having areas in game that actively represent things happening in the server meta-plot keeps the story alive for those playing, and a lot of RP possibilities for future growth. It's very exciting to be a part of a story where the changes we RP are reflected in the world around us! Kudos to all involved!

Huge thanks to DM Soulcacther for helping a returning player, who got COMPLETLY lost in all the shinny new maps...and all of a sudden found his new PC in waaaaay over her head in the wilderness :D

Getting back on familiar maps, with some nice RP to boot :D :D Thanks!

Love how the place has grown and the look of the maps. :dance:

Can't believe I haven't posted here since my return. It has been such a treat!

Thanks to my UD "homies" and everyone that has not only kept the server running but also flourish as it has over all these years. Playing with these creative people I have had the chance to meet has made my dream to play DnD even if not the classic PnP version come true.

Absolutely loving it!!!

Special thanks to Shadowspinner70, Max Hatchet and DM Dialectic but really thanks to everyone that has made this such a thrilling journey!

Been having an amazing time here, have ups and downs, like my first days on the server but after I started roleplaying more and interacting with people it became such a joy, special thanks to DM team and admins.

I thanks the few high level PC who spare some time to interact with the new players. Indeed every one has its schedule and game priorities, but while some are debatting about how it is possible to make the world more living, it's an attitude that is very kind and unselfish.

When I log on and come into a "meeting", there are few high level players who interact with my PC. A great thanks to all these ! May Séluné reward them ;)

Wanted to express my appreciation and thanks for all the people who are constantly discussing and putting an effort to develop and improve the server as is evident by the many and important discussions going on in the forums (especially lately).

And of course, a big thanks to all that are involved in rp with my Cs - DMs and players alike.
