The Duke of Copper Downs had stayed dead. So far. That thought prompted the Dancing Mistress to glance around her at the deserted street. Something in the corner of her eye or the lantern of her dreams was crying out a message. Just as with any of her kind, it was difficult to take her by surprise. Her sense of the world around her was very strong. Even in sleep, her folk did not become so inert and vulnerable as humans or most animals did. And her people had lived among men for generations, after all. Some instincts never passed out of worth.

I understand I am only one person, just one paying customer duly handing over my money in exchange for the use of your software. I realize that no one in your company may even read this but I feel that it needs to be said and that other paying consumers feel the same as I do. There are a lot of us out here buying your products or you would not be in the business you are in. It is my hope that others will share my feelings and agree with this letter. And go one step further by becoming vocal about it.

20. October 2008
Keith Taylor over at 93 Games Studios has let the world know that Twilight 2013 is just about ready to go gold. Pre-orders will be opening soon and distribution will be PDF first, followed by the actual books once they print. When I was a young lad and the possiblity of war with Russia was pretty real, the original Twilight title (Twilight 2000) provided hours of fun for our group. Stuck in Eastern Europe, fighting to find a way home our characters did it all, including one memorable cross over that featured Aliens. From Ridley Scott's Aliens movie. As 2000 grew closer in the real world, the game faded away to old copies with fraying covers sitting in our gaming boxes as we got on with our lives. Then, in 2006 93 Games Studios came along.
