About the Lorath.
Yes! Another tech writer would be welcome, just consult with me through PM, or on IRC about technology which you may want to develop, and I would gladly give guidance on delivering a proper 'Lorath' feel to the product in question, if the product is desired.
Furthermore, yes, new players are encouraged to join up and veteran players as well. I can't become inactive, until I get some blood in our ranks. If anyone has any questions, please, feel free to direct queries to my PM box or message me on IRC. When I am available, I will address your questions.
