The game, pulled from the publisher Game Tap's line up in April of 2008, has refused to die. The game and Cyan have a very loyal fan base. The fans have been grouping together for a long time - two years or longer - to create more worlds for Cyan's game and more storylines. "Perhaps the ending has not yet been written."

Here is what I have gathered so far from my characters: KoHama is someone with whom there is very little interaction. She has suffered a lot of emotional damage over the years -- losing her parents while still young, watching the world change from the 1960s through the 1990s, ...

And yet for the La Casa story, that is what many of us would have been called at some point in life. When planning out your character, consider what name was given at birth. Don't worry. You don't have to use it, just have it ready should we need to produce the list of who we all once were.

With the early April closure, the story has become web-based. As such, you can be a role-player, a writer or an artist, and participate to any extent with which you are comfortable. Unlike actors in a script, we can be whoever we wish to be and can play multiple roles. Your choice of who and how to play are completely open. This is not a guild and there are no requirements for mastery, etc. Most characters will be guests ...

We heeded the call to the desert, drawn to the deep wound in the earth, the fissure where Yeesha spoke to us. She made of us a "request," to seek the journey.

I like the fissure graphic above ... if it was somehow incorporated with a pic of Yeesha that would be great. I like how Myss Terrie's Bevin full banner is built. That same set up might work.
