Any excess earnings today will go towards making Aruneus better, and now you know for SURE that it is going to happen, so jump in!

Zombie cards and my absence from the site

Hey folks! To get some business out of the way, you won't be seeing much of me on Troll in the Corner for a few weeks. I'm set to go in to Surgery tomorrow and am expecting it to take a few weeks for me to recover. That's the not so good news. The good news is, late last night Eric dropped off the reformatted Zombie Cards!

The Weekends

A few folks over the past year of so have inquired as to why I don't post on the weekends. I generally say pat things like "family time" or "working on the house." I finally feel comfortable enough to reveal the real reason I don't post on the weekends.

Project London is an epic film with huge budget worthy special effects, and plenty of them, created by volunteers on the web and resulting in an actual, watchable, movie.

I dropped them a note with my ideas for Aruneus to see if anything would happen and surprise! Something happened!
