UpdatesWhat's New at The Olde Phoenix Inn
7-28-18 The game has been in motion since 1976. Long ago I did paper maps of the main game area and they got updates. A few years back I noticed that those old maps were falling apart. The paper cheap and ancient was flaking away. I got the maps scanned. Then came the long an laborious changing of the ugly pencil maps into something nice looking. Originally for printing in a nice book, in a more page friendly format. That idea was dropped when I realized how dynamic the map was. The printed page would never keep up. So they are destined to live on the computer. Changeable and accessible. Here they are, 3 pixels to the mile. Enjoy 7-18-18 I added map 1C to the list of finished maps. 7-14-18 I added two finished. well as finished as they ever get, world maps. 3C and 2C are brought in from the raw. Work continues to get the whole set into the more finished state. 6-29-18 I changed the Thindacarulle worldmap to show thumbnails of the raw images instead of the placeholders. At least you can see the whole map now even if not in great shape. 6-12-18 I have added the long overdue Combat chapter to The Greyhawke Campaign page. Also added was Appendix C the naming charts. It was developed to aid me in naming NPCs, but it is a good source for character names in the game. 3-17-18 I have added two essays to Gadsden's Grumbles. I Resign and To Dice With the Devil. Neither is new but their not being posted was a general sign of my malaise towards Freeservers. Speaking of Freeservers, I have paid for one more year of the old site at reduced functionality. This will give time for people to realize the site has moved. We might not be the most popular place on the web but the visitors do come in. In March 2019 I will close down the old site for good. 3-4-18 I believe that everything broken has been fixed. Dead links are swept away. Even a couple of new ones. Now I need to deal with Freeservers (shudder) and get the old site downgraded. 3-2-18 I am running through the site monkey slapping links and seeing what works and what doesn't. I am correcting flaws when I find them. Most of the work this time has been in the Star Trek pages. One up dated image in The Shipyards and a lot of fixing broken file names and removing cobwebs. No doubt I have plenty more to do. My first crack at the wiki was an utter failure. I need to learn more first. 2-21-18 It has been way too long since I gave this page any love or even any thought. However the most momentous change is the new web host after 20 years and we have our own domain. The old site will remain for a while yet, but as I main changes here it will be allow to slowly become nothing but a advertisement for this site. I plan some interesting changes in the near future including the integration of the TrekCreative and Vista City wikis as part of the website. It is time to dust off my rusty web design skills and get back in. 8-30-14 Game writing, my wikis and other projects have been taking time from the website. However it is not forgotten. I have new updates to the Shipyard
12-9-10 Where do I start.... Three Jerry Short Shorts. The Center Seat, In a Bar, Heirloom Found in the Epiphany Trek Stories page under The Jerry LaSaille Shorts. Four new short shorts in the "Other Short Shorts" Castaway, Old Wounds, The Big red Reset, Profit. And "Tales of Starbase 600" we have, Discussion, Reality is the Agreed on Delusion, The Wandering Jew, and End of the Shift. But wait there's more! I also have a new ships. It is splashed all over. The Tigris class science cruiser can be found in the the Shipyard, the 3xx graphic and Ane starship Development.. Also The Ane Ship in Starfleet as well. I've corrected and rectified the dates between the development graphic and the page. 10-17-10 Fiction added to The Greyhawke Campaign page as well as a few minor visual improvments to the page itself. The Battle by Garry Stahl -- Shandis the Leoman faces the greatest battle of his life. 09-07-10 Minor changes to the "Generating Books" page. A little more information on book sizes. (Be careful how you fold your sheep). Also a sample of an in-game newspaper. Both are found on The Greyhawke Campaign page. 08-25-10 More flat models in the Shipyard. USS Improbible Basking Ray scout from the Ane, and three ships from three other Groups. The Mimor Zadekstyk -- A battleship of the Nadr�zen� Empire, Gyors Vedo -- A battleship of the Joemberek Hegemony, and "Bugcrusher" a Toniera battlewagon. Now that my skills are back up to a level I am catching up on the backlog. Busy, busy. This is part two of the 25th. A slight rework of the Star Trek Files page. I moved The Ane Ship in Starfleet out to the front instead of being buried near the bottom of the Ane Confederation page. I also have added a couple of ships to that page. 08-20-10 I have finally increased my skills with the GIMP to the point I can do flat models again. It was a long hard road. So, there are new graphics in the Shipyard. Trantorian ships from the Starbase 600 game, the various Builder class stations, and a revamp of the 1 pixel to 100 meter graphic. 07-06-10 I put the link to Jay P. Hialey's page back on the main page. (Sorry Jay) I added the Atlas of Law to the The Greyhawke Campaign page. 07-03-9 Busy busy. Big updates to the The Greyhawke Campaign page. The Magic chapter tn the MD&D 2.8 manual. The Character Record 4, a new character sheet. The Magician spells are now listed as well.

Not only do I have a short short Surprise in the Jerry LaSaille shorts, but I have a whole Jerry story After the Voyage What happens around the principle characters in Star Trek IV; The Voyage Home? A peek at things behind the scenes, mainly from the PoV of Jerry LaSaille. As usual both are found in the Epiphany Trek Stories page. Yes, four tales are missing from the Jerry Shorts. All were rolled into the new story along with at least as much new material. Those four along with Over Drinks, which never got posted here and was the catalyst to the whole. 05-15-09 New fiction from Susan.

However, the Word Press will be the permanent blog as it is part of the OPI site and the most under my control. It might take a while for me to get the hang of the style sheets, but it is good to learn, and the blog will replace this page once it is up to my standards. 04-13-07 Updates to the Pet Page, more cute cat pictures and a pig too! I have been doing general clean up and small changes to the Epiphany Trek pages. Nothing you might notice except for the link colors. 03-27-07 Man what a wasted month.

Check out the Shipyard. I open a second buffer to fill with ships keeping the theme from the first.
