2. Leetz redid his dystopic Arga homewbrew thread here: http://www.thecbg.org/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?68535.last and started a trend where a multitude of posters began embedding pictures in their posts, for as all know, an appropriate picture is worth a thousand verbose words.
3. Light Dragon started the airy, hyperactive, and wondroud World War II Mythological setting GODSMACK! http://www.thecbg.org/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?68604.last where players can be Oracles, Seers, can fight Oni-Demons in China, can ride on Dragons, can wield Thor's Hammer in Scandanavia, and struggle with undead in Transylvania.
4. The site's Classification of Different ConWorlds, the "Tinkering : Types of Worlds" thread http://www.thecbg.org/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?67351.last became a bit more fleshed out with good contributions from a multitude of posters.
5. Steerpike returned from vacation and added a new race of foxlike creatures to The Cadaverous Earth http://www.thecbg.org/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?56772.last.
6. Cataclysmic Crow continued work on his Death Planet concept sci-fi world http://www.thecbg.org/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?67751.last where people compete for their very lives in a televised match.

(Note: Idea came from Ish's August 2008 post on the front page)
(Note: I likely left out a lot. Feel free to correct that by posting below.)
I wrote some silly poems and duly ignored the notches on a belt.
In the last week I added two posts to my Kingdoms of Aeolond (http://www.thecbg.org/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?66357.0) thread, which included a description of the infamous and yet ubiquitous Wizards Guild (http://www.thecbg.org/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?66357.60#post_68548), reknown for their mastery of magic and the Portal Network as well as the the Kingdom of the Westlands (http://www.thecbg.org/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?66357.60#post_68452), which was once a proud nation but now nothing more than a war-torn land ruled by petty dukes.
Also, Ghostman updated his setting Savage Age (http://www.thecbg.org/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?63214.last) with a post concerning a land called Valaria (http://www.thecbg.org/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?63214.0#post_68647), where the people worship a mystery cult and blind warriors protect their goddess' treasures.
Great Updates, EE!
