If anyone is reading this...get the word out! Haven is ALIVE! (though maybe not yet quite alive and well) I've posted to several RPG webrings so that maybe we can get some traffic from the web instead of just word of mouth. We could use some fresh faces, but we need the old ones to come back too! So tell a friend, tell a foe...tell anybody and don't forget to post.
I want to create an established and stable RP environment that will LAST!
We've died twice now...I think this time we can stay up for good.
Peace and Gods be with you.

Alright...up from the ashes... Interest has been expressed at the clan gatherings in resurecting Haven Castle. It's been an empty board now for over a year, but the board masters are once again residing in the same house, and both have complete access to all necessary resources now.
We have chosen a new message board since the one we were using went out of business, but neither of us like it too much. If anyone has any suggestions for a messageboard host we would be more than happy to hear from you, though the one we're using works fine, the format is not very aesthetic. We're looking forward to giving Haven a new chance at life and trying to recruit some new muns. The site will be growing and changing. Let us know if you have any ideas or descriptions for new characters etc.
I am using a different emaail now. I use the other address just for junk mail and such so it's completely fludded with thousands of irrelevant messages. You can reach me pretty efficiently at my other address...
There's been an obvious break in board traffic probably due to exams. (I know I haven't been on in close to 2 weeks.) Exams are over now for most of the college kids (me included) and we are going to loose a few characters I'm afraid because some people only have internet access from school. (bummer)
I'm looking for suggestions anyone has for new elements they'd like to see for the page (ie maps, quests, new SL ideas, other castle locations to raid...anything). If I can get people coordinated and get some ideas I'll post a poll to see which things people are really inerested in. Also, if anybody knows of a good place to advertise I'm interested in hearing about it. I need to get some sustainable traffic outside of my general area.
Matt got his computer working, but not internet worthy (and he reminds me that he still manages to be online more than the rest of us). He is the one running the library of character histories and if you want a full background and history posted you need to email it to him. (if you don't send one in you have no grounds to gripe if we forget your character has wings or carries a big axe or is 12 ft tall or something like that)
Best wishes to those just starting exams,
Peace and Gods be with you,

I do actually pretend to have a life, so the updates won't normally won't be able to follow in such close succession, but I'm being industrius this weekend. I still haven't figured out what's wrong with that SL.
::prays the problem isn't contagious::
I got a book of quotations put together. Well, it's not really much of a book as of yet. It just has 4 random Haven Castle quotes, but if you'll click the "Magic Memory Book" link you can submit quotes to be used and immortalized in the history of Haven Castle. I think I might cycle old one's out after a while if we get a bunch and start an actual archive of those that were.
I'm also hoping to get some more strictly classic Dragon Lance quotes up. I would expect Matt to be a good source for those, but his computers are still broken (what do you expect when you build them out of scrap computer parts?), so we're gonna have to pick up the slack on the archive of classic DL knoledge. (If you don't read the series don't sweat it. Find the quotes online.)
I have yet to determine if anyone actually reads these updates or the guest book, but if it appears that people actually do want to comment or talk OOC I will get together an OOC board for this section. I guess you can email in if you would like a forum here so you can reply, discuss, and happily slander eachother in mun form ::evil grin::.
Thanks for your kind attentions,
Peace and Gods be with You,

I guess it's obvious, but Haven Castle is back up. (You had to figure that out to get to read this), and ::drum roll:: I have constructed an updates section that will soon hopefully have an OOC commentary board so you can get to me and eachother without crashing my email server with the bulk.
There seems to be a bit of crankiness inherantly in the messageboard server. Not a clue where the glitch is (but it's not on my server at least ::sigh::)
If I can find another message board server I like better I'll get rid of the piece of junk.
I'm also considering the possibility of actually taking Haven Castle to real time and getting a chat room, but traffic would have to pick up for that to be a logical step cause no one is ever on at the same time if there aren't many muns. So ADVERTISE!
Matt's computers are down...more info on that in the guestbook...which that reminds me you are all required to sign...not for any real reason...just some record of the muns that have been and gone so no one is ever really forgotten here. Sign your name and include your character's name...or just your character's name so that we can keep a record of non-official members.
That's all for now. Peace and Gods be with you.
