The Blacktongue Thief by Christopher Buehlman was, in my opinion, excellent.

The Daughter’s War by Buehlman came out this summer and is a prequel to The Blacktongue Thief. Very different than the Blacktongue Thief, but very good.

The Bright Sword by Lev Grossman. Another take on the Arthorian legend. If you enjoyed the Magicians you’ll probably like this

Hey True Believers!

Excelsior is approaching our second anniversary (November 10th), and we’re incredibly excited about it! We’ve got plenty of stories left to share, and I’m here to update former players, future players, and everyone in between on what’s coming up. I’ll also give you a glimpse of the characters you can expect to see soon!

Yes, I did mention a limited roster. The admin team has received a lot of feedback about our roster-only approach, so I’d like to clarify why we’ve chosen this path. While our admin team may seem large and we do have all the Infinity Stones in attendance, not all of our staff are involved with rosters or storylines. We have a dedicated CSS admin (Hi Blu!) and a staff member handling administrative tasks (Hi Mind!), but only a few staffers focus on story development (Hi Power, Reality, and Time!).

We strive to maintain a roster that ensures our story staff can manage it without being overwhelmed.

Now, let’s talk about what’s coming soon!

Some upcoming characters will join an all-new team, while others will slot into existing teams. We’re currently running a storyline that will bring the Exiles into our world with a unique twist.

Here’s a list of characters to expect in the next few months:

Brielle Brooks, Cerise, Monica Rambeau, Kamala Khan, Felicia Hardy, Hercules, Jacqueline Falsworth, Leiko Wu, Yelena Belova, America Chavez, Billy Maximoff, Brandy Selby, The Stepford Cuckoos, Daisy Johnson, Eli Bradley, Franklin Richards, Laura Kinney, Luna Maximoff, Madelyne Pryor, N’Jadaka, Nathaniel Richards, Rachel Summers, Talia Wagner, Teddy Altman, Tommy Maximoff, Valeria Richards and Vivian Vision.

This roster will be rolled out through the end of fall. The Exile characters will be introduced sporadically at the end of August, with some listed characters following through September and early October.

We’ll use storylines to introduce them and provide reasons for their interactions with existing characters in the game.

If any of these characters catch your interest, chat with us, and see what we have planned for the next few months. All of our characters have unique twists on their canon counterparts, and we hope you’ll join us for the adventure!

Unfortunately there is no rental plugin that I have seen. With rentals you have to do a calendar function. Where I can rent at two pm and for one day and it locks the vehicle out until two the next day from availability. That rate is a daily rate. Then incorporate weekly rates, monthly rates etc. and adjust the cost and calendar tied to it accordingly with reservations.

Take a look at this.

I use SquareSpace professionally to build sites for customers to maintain, and it’s pretty user friendly. I’m unfamiliar with the Booqable plugin, but I think it’s worth a look if you want something you can manage easily.

Most likely what you’ll want is to find a booking service that works well for physical rentals that has an embeddable component. Those can be pretty easily plugged into a site regardless of where you end up building it.

In fact, just building a site through something like this may do what you need.

I feel like we need a list for everything and explanations. Release the truth about cats. ❤

@Roz said in Tuomo, Leo, Theo (Clarion’s playlist):

okay but was aleksei deemed handsome

IIRC yes, but sadly there are no black journals mooning over him, possibly because Aleksei was also deemed Alarmingly Involved in Big Important-Looking Things.

@NotSanni Hi there! Yeah, it’s been a bit, but I had a pretty good time there. Just wish it had had more staying power. 🦠 was a good experience in so many ways, from the escalating pranks to playing someone who my god I hated so much about.

Good game. Very positive environment. I enjoy running plots again.

Maybe I could convince you to put your updates in one thread instead of making a new one every time? It’ll still pop up as new forum activity for people.

@Juniper lol I had totally forgotten about Cleverbot. Memory unlocked.

@Cobalt said in Break Lite:

I love this community, tho!

doubt

@Faraday Oh that’s not too bad, and I think I’ve still got some of the stuff around from last time I did an Ares game, might be worth a shot then. Thanks Faraday, very glad you’re still about the community.

so total shocker, Scott and Ruby reacted to these posts the way that like anyone who had to deal w them at literally any point as players or staffers would expect:

trying to figure out who posts under what name, smearing them to anybody who’ll listen, probably agitating to get ppl banned, and from what i’ve heard getting super paranoid about who i could be there

to keep some rando from getting sacrificed on the altar of their personality disorders, the last time i logged in to HAM except as a guest was when i claimed raven then got kicked off for a combination of making Chaucer mad and outing a sexual predator years ago, and the last time i logged in as a guest is in this thread

believe it or not it’s just that basically nobody likes either of you or enjoys tiptoeing around your explosive tempers and fragile egos, so shit gets around
