7/21/2006 shadowcourt: BDTP: Parallel vs Perpendicular

10/7/2006 shadowcourt: Secret of Shattering (and related Secrets)-- What about harm?

1/23/2008 shadowcourt: [TSOY] Dwarven species design

1/29/2008 shadowcourt: [TSOY] new Maldorite Cultural crunch

3/3/2008 shadowcourt: [TSOY] Giant species design

3/25/2009 shadowcourt: [TSOY] Adding moiety politics to Khale
