Today marks my little forumversary: one year with the org section all to myself. Nothing much has changed, Lexikon is still open for visits and the Dual Universe Historical Society is still active somehow. ... There was a time when we dreamt about this game.

New book: "The Occurrence", by Dracostan, can be found in the "Etherean" (red) section. It is a work of fiction. ... or is it ?

New book everyone ! "Return of the Astrophage: Forgotten Bits" Come visit the Lexikon (VR Pod "Lexikon") !

Birthday Bash Tour showed up at Lexikon ! Thanks for the visit guys ! Hope you liked it.

I took Lexikon back to its small shipyard on Haven, awaiting the arrival of DU's Long Sleep. I only subscribe through DAC now, but I am still listening daily to the community, taking notes, and the library can still be visited. Whatever happens, I'll remain on the lectern until the end.

Lexikon is still sitting at the Starlantis public docks. Although there's nothing new to show these days, people still visit. Welcome, everyone.

Thank you, good Sir... ... although I feel more and more that my work will eventually consist into penning the last page and closing the book for good someday. Everything we've done will remain, somehow, somewhere.

Still here, parked at Starlantis. As the world slowly grows colder and the stars dimmer, 1.4 is coming around. Will it bring solace ? Sometimes, I'm reminded of Rover's last words on Mars. "My battery is low and it's getting darker". Still, some beacons burn bright out there.

... and another one: The Bright Side: Infinity Corporation - By Peregrin & Geo, with participation from Deadrank Whatever happens, we shall remember.

New book ! "The Story of Band of Outlaws - by Peregrin, Sylva and Demlock" It acts partly as a counterpoint to Anderson William's interview. Interesting read, if I say so myself.

New book, 3 parts no less: "A Quiet Professional", a casual talk with Anderson Williams. Come read ! Sidenote: I'm so happy, I had been waiting for ages to write a piece about New Genesis, Ascendancy and Legion (relax guys, no secrets, just public stuff)

Just a regular gazebo. You may bring food anytime (NOT in the library, though, please, but we have guest rooms upstairs).

I have achieved a lifelong dream. I've built a gazebo. Mandatory awe (not really) in the Exchange's blue section, thank you.

You're actually correct: this gift from Damasio (who is indeed something of a big shot in the french sci-fi litterature scene) was part of the "JC Legend", of that "vision" that was both Novaquark's strongest driving force and their most crippling factor back in the day, from 2014 to 2021. It all dissipated away when JC was kicked from his own project by a cabal of his investors, people with a more... pragmatic and money-centered mind. I won't say that was entirely a bad thing, but I'd like to see the likes of Granatino or Abboud try to bring Damasio back in for free, see how that works out for them... I remember a video of a french sci-fi/ gaming conference from the pre-KS time, when JC showmanned conventions to promote NQ and DU; at the end of his speech came questions and someone in the audience noted that having Alain Damasio on board was quite amazing and asked JC how he did it, and JC casually answered: "Well I just asked him, and he said 'yes'". We, as a community, and NQ, as creators of a universe, lost... something along the way. But I'm still confident we can somehow find it back. And the lore is part of it.

Actually, Alain Damasio gave his 5-part story to JC, for free, as a personal token of appreciation and to help kickstart the public interest into the game. However, since Damasio kinda overdid himself, NQ had to retcon some parts of his work.
