Dragonchoice 3: yes, finally, soon
It’s not the biggest secret, especially if you’re one of my Facebook friends, but Dragonchoice 3 (:no official tagline yet) IS officially coming soon.

Dragonflight to get big screen treatment
They’re doing a film adaptation of Dragonflight! No, really this time! Honest! They have a screenwriter and a producer and everything!

New-look Dragonchoice website
Dragonchoice has a new website, because the last one was old and crummy and doing my reputation as a web designer absolutely no good whatsoever.
