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.

7. As usual, there were a few more nice additions to the Cartography thread by Gamer Printshop. http://www.thecbg.org/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?43819.last

(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.)

[Elven Doritos]

I wrote some silly poems and duly ignored the notches on a belt.

[Elemental_Elf]

In the last week I added two posts to my Kingdoms of Aeolond thread, which included a description of the infamous and yet ubiquitous Wizards Guild, reknown for their mastery of magic and the Portal Network as well as the the Kingdom of the Westlands, 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 with a post concerning a land called Valaria , where the people worship a mystery cult and blind warriors protect their goddess' treasures.
