Thanks to everyone reading this now for reading this blog in 2016. See you next year!
Just wanted to say a huge thankyou to you man. I've been lurking for what seems a millenia,and Nwn is as fresh as it always has been. You, and the new journalists(who will inevitably arrive) on this wild frontier are about to become more and more relevant,especially in 2017. (P.S. stop being such a curmudgeon about the new eyephones. It'll all settle down eventually.)
