Cead Mile Failte!This past month has been a massive month of excitement and also heartbreak. While the Games Week may have brightened our mood, the loss of Sawda shook us to our core. This past month goes into the books as one of the most polar months in our history. Looking forward there are a few bright and shining lights approaching on the horizon that may offer some temporary fun in the near future. Let's dive in and see what might interest you. DirectoryGet InvolvedGaiscioch Family NewsIn Loving Memory of Jim 'Sawda' Gillum (1958-2022)It is with a heavy heart that I report the passing of another wonderful member of Sanctum of Rall community. Since 2012, Sawda has roamed the Borderlands acting as a lone scout for the Sanctum of Rall. No commander has ever tagged up on the Sanctum of Rall without his useful scouting reports becoming a staple to the experience. Sawda was a loving and caring man who was a perfect example of what we should all be as human beings. He was witty, kind, and never missed a moment to help a person in need. I know Sanctum of Rall will miss his ever-watchful eye over the borderlands and his calming demeanor in our voice coms. Minor Setback Almost Resolved for New Game PagesWhen I went to launch them last month I realized 'oops I missed a spot' and had to work on repairing a small little detail that would have caused more than a few grey hairs. It's almost all patched up and I'm working on running through some more tests to make sure everything functions well enough to launch this thing. It will be a work in progress and features will be enabled as I finish QA testing them completely. Needless to say, we're very close and I think it's a drastic improvement over the current adventure pages. Stay tuned! Extra Life 2022 is Just 5 Months Away!Are you ready for the biggest event of the Gaiscioch year?

Inside the FamilyGaiscioch Family Patreons:Want to give a special shout-out to those members who are helping enable our community to do great things. Their financial support has allowed us to expand the tools at our disposal and maintain the community without burning a hole in my personal savings. While a still do pay a bit out of pocket their contributions have prevented me from having to work side gigs to keep us afloat and for that, I am eternally grateful. It's at a manageable level I am comfortable with. Without these Patreons, you'd be seeing a lot less of me. Thank you for keeping me in-game and focused on growing our community. WilliamBrandis

Gaiscioch Family Promotions:I wanted to take a moment to say congratulations to a few members this month for accepting their next credo and stepping into a new role in our family. Guardians (Seaimpín)The Gaiscioch Family Guardians are an advanced part of the Veteran Members group and serve as the front line of our family. They help newer members learn about the family, our website, and our belief system. They occasionally will need to help get conversations back on track, or report misdoing's to the family elders. They act as advisors, guidance providers, and overall protectors of the family name. By this time a member should be involved in the family for more than 6 months and has been an active attendee in family events. For those who prefer fellowship over leadership this is the last stop on the family tree. Members must prove their leadership ability to progress to the Leadership ranks through the accumulation of both Valor Points (Earned through leading events.) as well as earning Tokens of Valor from lower ranked members of the family. » Slainidh Veteran Members (Curadh)Veteran Members have proven their devotion to the family by participating in events and contributing to the family's success. They have been active more than 90 days and have continued to be contributing members to the family. » Wusfud Official Members (Lorgaire)Official Members have earned the rank of Lorgaire and have accepted the Mark of the Kindred credo. They have officially decided to become members of the family and start their journey to ascend the roles of the Gaiscioch Family. Please Welcome Our Newest MembersGaiscioch By The Numbers

Over the past month, we have been exploring AvA on Sunday Mornings at 11 AM PT / 2 PT ET and have had a wonderful time. Over the course of the past month we have taken several castles, outposts, and resource camps and even managed to steal and return a scroll to our home realm.

The original plan was a bit larger than what we ended up with but that doesn't mean we're out of the race. We will continue expanding our borders to secure as large of an end-of-season payout as we can. There are a total of 21 battles this season and that's a lot of opportunities that might arise. In the meantime, we've already got our primary Fief most of the way to 7 even before we took it over. Our villages are well on their way to level 5. This season we will have to focus hard on building up rather than out and in the end, I think we will see some great rewards.

Why does it have to be so gosh darn fun? Two months ago we started streaming this little gem I discovered figuring it would be a one-month trial run and we'd move on. After the first month, we had so much fun and so many new folks joined us we decided to give it another month.
This past month we saw a lot of reveals and content dumps. Several gaming press events and virtual conferences literally spanned over 2 weeks. We saw over 100 product announcements, and I'm certain there may have been a few you might have missed. Here are the ones most important to our community and our potential future adventures. Check them out and let us know which interests you.
It's been a while since we last strolled into Gloria Victis. As an early crowdfunder we assisted the development of the guild system. I first streamed the pre-alpha in 2016. Even in its earliest state, it had some nice features to offer. Since then it has undergone massive changes and overhauls and the game is rapidly approaching its official launch.
This past month we have explored the new vampire survival game, V Rising. Overall it was been a fun experience with its simplistic approach to survival-style gameplay. Currently, there are 10 of us playing in 3 clans, and have room for more.
