Site Updates

 

There's always something new and exciting happening in Aperans. Usually, it's because of Dirk, and usually, there's a good chance it'll kill you. Erik has his hands full taking care of the daily news lest he end up in the daily obituaries.

There's always something new and exciting happening on our website, too, only without that inconvenient Imminent Death Factor. Here in Aperans, you can count on three things: Dirk will never run out of evil ideas, Erik will never run out of hairspray, and we will never run out of new ways to make this site a fun and informative haven for all your Wizards and Warriors needs (and yes, you do have Wizards and Warriors needs. You just didn't know it yet). Not even the Rains of Death could dampen our enthusiasm!

So if you have any suggestions for additions or changes, please e-mail us. Unless it's the suggestion about remodeling the dungeons. Dirk, we know that's you. Just give it up.
