Artists were fighting a war, were you on the front lines? Or perhaps Splintered a City? Anyone here studied Law... of Talos?


Basically, wanted to see if there were some folks here who did/still do OCTs out on here, or followed the scene back in the day.

I think the scene mostly migrated towards Discord servers, so in process through a series of word of mouth and links. I know most of the tournaments I've been in the past few years have been though those at least. And from the batch of folks that were in Ring of Power/War For Rayuba, the ones ran by Tom Bloom, I think?

ahh figures things went to discord. thats terrible for like people finding it either to join or read along as well as archiving in general but discord seems to consume all. but idk what else is there unless someone with the smarts makes a dedicated website u-u

I think there are a few archival projects for modern OCTs that have been happening, like for example the <a href="https://xrabohrok.github.io/WarMap/#/">fancy one for War For Rayuba.</a> Also even if it took a bit for it to get to the hosting end, <a href+"https://oculama.com/">Oculama</a> has a good mix of oldies and new artists making neat comics.
