Hey everyone!
First of all I would like to thank you all for the kind words of support and congratulations. When I returned to the club three years ago I had decided that I wasn’t going to pursue a CO position again, but over time that ended up changing and after so many years on the Dresden I cannot express how happy and grateful I am for having been given the opportunity to take the center chair on this amazing ship and her incredible crew. The Dresden has had her fair share of ups and downs in the past, and I am sure it will have her fair share of ups and downs in the future. After all, so is the nature of roleplaying. However, all we can do is to try to give her our best in order to make her the best ship she can be, and that’s exactly what I intend on doing.
So, with all of this there are a few updates that I just wanted to make you aware of:
– If you’re wondering what happened to our esteemed Colonel Calvin Harris, former CO of the Dresden, he (and Jerome) will still remain among us. Me and Jerome had thought about putting together a Marine Unit on board the Dresden and given Jerome’s expertise in that area and Calvin being a Marine, it seems only fitting that he remains on board as the Dresden’s Marine Commander.
– After her stint as XO, Amelia will be returning to Earth to be with her husband. Since the beginning I have always felt that she was not meant to be a Command character, although I really enjoyed writing her as an Executive Officer. This doesn’t mean, however, that she will vanish from the Dresden immediately. I will keep her unrostered for the time being so that I can finish the threads I hold with her right now, as well as giving some IC continuity to the story. This means Molly will be the actual CO of the Dresden.
– And last but not least, probably the biggest announcement I have, we now have a new GM! Harley has so kindly offered to step in as our Gamemaster, and given that he is one of the club’s finest GMs it was an offer I couldn’t refuse. He is still planning the sim, so it may take a little while for him to get started, but that will also give us enough time to wrap up the Dresden’s time on Earth and all the in-between sidesims/changes that might want to be played IC.
I think that is all for now. I will keep you posted as developments happen! Feel free to contact me with any questions, concerns, or anything else. I have updated all the links on the MOTD so you can find my contact form there as well as the contact forms of each Department Head.
See you on board! :)
