When Akram ended my life was in a pretty dark place. Things have changed, as I was sure they would but at the time Rose, or rather my commitment to it, was part of the reason for where I'd let myself end up. Things got better, nuff said on that.
I'm not interested in returning full time, my job and my freelance work and my real life take up way too much time for that, but I'm at a point where I feel comfortable poking my head back in now and then. There are some good people in this community and I missed some of you lol.
I'm taking it a bit slow with the compendium due to other commitments but it's fun to work on something this involved, PY put a crapload of work into the original and it's a tough goal to meet to make the newer version fill those boots. You can see the work in progress at
