The design diary for our Penumbria project.

Welcome to Penumbria

Thanks for stopping by. We've created this blog as a design diary and publicity tool for our newest project, Penumbria. I'm Sweeney Todd (Andrew).

"Fleet Street DMs" is a group of online GMs I played Neverwinter Nights with back in graduate school. I still consider those sessions some of the most fun I've had with a video game. Just getting to create something for others to experience is a blast.

I got back into NWN recently, and was excited about the game as it stands today -- the community is still going strong, and the community tools are fantastic. So now my wife Naturally Blonde (Erin) and I are using it to do something we've been wanting to get to since we had a three-hour conversation about colonialist fantasy on our third date. (Yes, she's awesome.) To avoid a little problem we had with changing the name (and theme) of the project monthly, we went with the intentionally vague "Penumbria".

We'll post here to tell people more about our ideas and solicit feedback. (And also to let our friends know what we've been up to -- Fleet Streeters of yore, drop us a line!) We specifically want to hear people think of the project, since one of the core goals is to get people thinking like a "homesteader", meaning we want it to be a place where you can kick back, relax, and kill a few goblins while building a community with friends. Let us know what you think!
