A belated aura +1 for providing a Santharian version of a chess equivalent, which - especially now with a really cool picture - makes a pretty complete contribution!

One thing, though: We're laking an overview part in this entry as I noticed... Could you still provide that one, Valan?

The game of Ish'kroi (False War) or simply The Game of War is a game for four players. Considered a grand game of strategy and tactics, the various (and disputed) origins of the game all credit it with a replication of some grand battle which players play out time and time again throughout the play of the game.

Are Shabby and Dek the same person in my mind.  Strange.

Ah yes, forgot to point out to Shabakuk that Chapter 5 is ready for testing - will do so now!

I am pleased it is going well for you though Seeker ... can't wait to try it and die. :D
18 May 2012, 09:35:13
No, I didn't Seeker. :( I think it is Master Anfang who is doing the testing

Dek-   shoals is going very well.  Art is starting on chapter 6. A very important chapter.  Did you test chapter 5?

*Valan filches some parchments from around the corners of the pile before sauntering off attempting to look casual and tripping over the hem of his robes.*

Waiiiiiit!   (Bard staggers back with a pile of Unfinished Projects so high her arms are trembling)  Let me stuff mine in there before you lock the room!  *looks guiltily around and snatches the Quenyss parchment off the top of the stack*

and throw the key into the deepest river we can find, or the midst of one of the volcanoes
13 May 2012, 03:19:29
Then I say we lock the Unfinished Projects room.  If Arti ever gets in there.... big trouble. rolleyes

I'm amazed you can see the Altario projects pile considering it is dwarfed by my unfinished projects. For which I apologise.
