Happy 12th birthday, RoW!

Happy 12th Birthday, RoW!

I can't believe it... almost a teenager... next thing we know, it'll be driving off to college. 4 years ago on January 8th, RoW was re-opened after being on an approximately 2-year-long hiatus. Before that, we saw an 8 year streak of activity. Altogether, that makes twelve full years that RoW has been open! We are always so very thankful for each and every member who helps keep this story alive. We wouldn't have anything to celebrate at all without you. <3

Yearbook 2024

The yearbook is still in production, largely waiting for the artwork to be completed; Cade has been injured since December and is also currently trying to fight off pneumonia and so things have been taking much longer than anticipated. We hope that it will still be worth the wait! Given this unplanned extension, if anyone was unable to meet a blurb deadline and really wants the information in still, feel free to submit the appropriate Google form or reach out to staff by PMing Spirit of Wildwood or DMing Cade on Discord.

To help celebrate, two games are available for all players. If you can successfully complete both, screenshot the finished games as proof and send the images to Spirit of Wildwood via PM by February 28th.
