New Stuff! |
---|
Yes, it's real actual new stuff about our beloved Perplexians!! Seriously!! =) This technically lands in the world of "fan-fiction," but bear in mind that the fans in question are the writers and creators of Perplex City. "The old PXC story team have been talking about old times lately – how much we loved working together, and how much we loved our players. So we decided to write a little unofficial Perplex City fanfiction as our gift for the Restitution of the Cube. We hope you enjoy it!" Go and read!
Primary people of interest: Kurt McAllister | Scarlett Kiteway | Violet Kiteway | Caine Johansson | Rory Earlywine There's plenty of little updates on all sorts of things, including Sente Kiteway, Nathan Earlywine, Roll For Damage, Alejo Jackson, Joya, Randal Tokei, Anjsbourg, Viendenbourg, Xia-Hifa, Anna Heath, and lesser topics like Deep Blue, Varkin and Alchemy Bay. |
