For Any Old SoLs Looking for the Rest of Us
Hello, if you are looking at this post you were probably in the Swords of Light at one point over the many years we gamed together. I am Draco, as you may remember. Unfortunately, Swords of Light as a blog is a ghost of times past. Everything is still there, all of our good times and petty scandals (like The Banning of Liam), it’s lovely to look back and wax nostalgic upon. However, because an old member of SoL recently reached out to me after looking the blog back up, I decided to create this post to direct others to where various SoL members can be found.
Buckykat now runs The Fantasy Sandbox, a forum style RP not unlike our LURP origins. Their discord server can be found here.
A nearly equally dead blog to this one with many of the same members, The Knights Semantic exists with a chatroom on Slack. A lot of people still keep an eye in the Slack even if it is pretty quiet, and we still rolepaly quite frequently, so stop on by!
Keplers also tried to create a spiritual successor to the Swords of Light, called The Bastian of Periphery. He welcomes all old Swords and any other members who are looking for a similar online guild for gamers and geeks.
Many old members are on discord, here are their ids:
Me: Draco#0210
Hov: Hovawart#7885
Bucky: Bucky#8909
Wish: Wishsolen#6448
LL: Mercurial_Wit#4357
Keppy: Keplers#2766
Sparrowhawk: Glass Wolf#9831
Additionally, as far as I can tell the directory page is still accurate, if a bit less relevant. You’d be surprised how many people are still on steam, though.
If you want to say hi, just send me a message and it’d be great to catch up. Some people still game together, be that through roleplay or video games, so if you’re longing for digital comradery, then check in with us!
Regards,
~Ɖraco Blackstone, and Bert the Troll
Did you remember this one?
I was cleaning out my folders, when I found this gem. I wish I had saved more gems.
Do you remember this one?

Duke Exeter: “What defense systems does it have?”
Worker: “None.”
Duke Exeter: “What do you mean it has none, this is supposed to be a STRONGHOLD!”
Worker: “Well the Maelstrom presumed it is heavily guarded, so why spend the money on weapons?”
Duke Exeter: “Does anyone else know that it isn’t heavily guarded, if our citizens found out they would be extremely worried?”
Worker: “Ignorance is bliss.”

Munchies with Moonkat: Week 12
Hello everyone! Time for this week’s installation of Munchies with Moonkat. Today I’ll be sharing a recipe that’s a favorite of my husband’s, shared with me thanks to his mother. It’s a little thing called Cincinnati Chili.
