Here are the characters who are currently available for adoption. Message Dragonlord Krin at Legend@malcor.com if you'd like to give any of these folks a home!
Greetings!
I’m writing this on February 16, 1999, and it is very likely that the Dragonlords site will receive its 10,000th visitor today! Our message board has been quite active lately as well. What’s all the excitement about? Well, rumor has it that Dragonlords is a pretty neat club and website <g>. But then you already know that, since you’ve already joined <g>. (Why not tell your friends about us <g>? The more, the merrier! You can adapt characters from other games, adopt pre-approved characters or create new ones.)
Given our phenomenal traffic and growing presence on the Web, I thought I’d take this opportunity to do a bit of a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) sheet about the club.
Younger people are not prohibited from joining. They simply have to have permission from a parent or guardian to do so. People under 18 are not legally bound by contracts that they sign, which is why parents or guardians also have to sign the release letters when these individuals submit to our fanzine.
Yes. The same rules apply to adoptions that apply when you submit a new character.
Well, that’s a matter of elimination. I pretty much have to be at the events since I guide the RPs. There are only certain programs that I am able to use through my server. Given the programs that the BOD members can use, the only ones most of us have in common are AOL and IRC. Of those, the only program that non-AOL users can use is IRC. So IRC it is until circumstances dictate otherwise.
Our meeting night has been determined by sending out a questionnaire to our current members. Monday night was the night that the majority of people could make it. That may change as our membership continues to grow, but, for now, Monday is the night we can draw the biggest crowds at events.
No. We love it when you come, but you don’t have to do anything at all once you join, unless you want to or unless your character has a writing or service requirement to maintain. There are some characters available for adoption that do not have any requirements. Of course, we think you’ll have a lot more fun in the club if you come to events and write for the ‘zine and otherwise help out
No. The fanzine is only distributed to members of Dragonlords.
Characters in stories need to be approved by the club, and going through that process makes you a member. So there is really no way you could turn out a story that would wind up in the ‘zine without becoming a member of the club. Stories by former members might appear in the ‘zine, but all of the stories in the ‘zine were written while the authors were members of the club.
Art is another matter. I will post art from outside artists to the site (with appropriate credit and links) provided that I find the art suitable for a given page. The art will not appear in the fanzine, but it may appear on our website.
No. But you do have to have a character. You can join by adopting a pre-approved character instead of creating a new one.
No. You can only have one persona in the club. You can change which character is identified as your persona if the need arises, but you may only have one. You may, however, create as many non-player characters as your furry little heart desires.
By all means! Adopt entire families, caravans, guilds, whatever! Only one of your characters may be a persona, but you can have as many other characters as you wish.
I know that’s not an all encompassing list, so if you have additional questions that you’d like to see in a FAQ, please pass them along to me.
Eternal Death to the Dark One,
Eternal Death to the Dark One!

"DRAGONPROPHET" PUBLISHED!
The first of the Centuria stories was published online by Eternity Magazine.

Also, remember that members of Dragonlords are entitled to read the completed, yet unpublished, Centuria stories. Contact Dragonlord Krin at Legend@malcor.com for your copies.

There is a new special section for the Academy Awards. Check it out!
Dragonlords' T-shirt
Dragonlords has covered its expenses and is starting to earn enough money for us to do something fun for our members. The BOD has decided that what we would like to do with the extra money is subsidize T-shirts for all members of the club (We may be able to buy the shirts outright for people; it depends on how many folks want them.).
If you would like to submit a design for the club T-shirt, send your suggestion in .gif or .jpg format to Dragonlord Krin at Legend@malcor.com. Try to keep your design suggestions to four colors or less, since that will significantly cut our costs. Submissions will close February 28th, 1999 at midnight. Krin will put the suggestions up on a webpage so we can vote on what we like best. Once the design is chosen, Krin will put up a sign-up sheet so we can see how many people actually want the shirts. Pricing will vary, depending on how many shirts are ordered.
Dragonlords' Pencils:
Dragonlords sent two rainbow pencils for Valentine’s Day to every member for whom we had a snail mail address. (David, yours got chewed up and returned to me, so I re-sent. Sorry for the delay.) If you have not received your pencils and would like them, contact Dragonlord Krin with a snail mail address to which they can be sent.
Until next forum,
keep safe!
