    The past week's been quite busy around here again. Among other things, I've opened two new forums on our boards (one for Dragon Age and one for the Dungeons & Dragons RTS). Obviously, this means that Sorcerer's Place will also be covering the upcoming Dragon Age, even though it's a game which won't use the D&D ruleset. BioWare calls it a spiritual successor to Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights and Knights of the Old Republic, so my expectations are quite high. As for why I decided to stray from the D&D-only path SP has been following for the last 5 years - there are multiple reasons. Most importantly, the D&D games which have been coming out lately (and I can see this trend continuing) have been very lite on the elements which attract a large audience of CRPG gamers for a longer period of time - gripping story, length, and party interaction. I hope Dragon Age will have a little more staying power, and if BioWare implements in it everything they've learned from the making of Neverwinter Nights and its expansions, it should be a game with a bright future. Not to mention it has dragons in the title, and all CRPG gamers love dragons. Well, mostly anyway. ;)

    Work on the site redesign continues to progress nicely. We're knee-deep in implementation of the Sorcerer's Place Supporter (SPS) Accounts system, which is proving to be quite an undertaking in regards to all the information about it which needs to be written and properly presented. Catbert's also doing some more modifications to the whole system which will make it easier on me to administer, and easier on the SPS account holders to use.

    Next week I'll be ordering the badly-needed extra RAM for the server, which will hopefully eliminate the problems we've been having lately, as well as prepare the ground for the more resource-taxing new site layout.

    Finally, a site update is due, however as I've converted pretty much all of the existing content apart from the Games sections to the new design already, the next site update in a few days will be a minor one, only adding and updating things in the Games sections. The rest will have to wait until the new design goes up.
