Announcement

Welcome To The New Scryptic!
scryptic-boxAnd change is upon us...

If you're seeing this announcement, it means everything is finally forwarding over to this new site.  I had planned on spending Saturday night and Sunday morning trying to get as much of the articles, scripts, and resource links migrated to our new site here, but just four hours after I had transferred a copy of the previous Scryptic's files to a backup location, I received notification from the old hosting company that there was a problem with the server hosting our site and needed to restore everything from a backup (which could take up to 6-8 hours).  Since we were going to be down that long anyways, I decided to  go ahead and kick off the process to have scrypticstudios.com point over to this new site.  I've been working on this new site for a number of months now in my spare time with the major goals being 1) easier to navigate and find helpful information and 2) easier for columnists to get their columns up (the new editor makes it so they don't need to know HTML to format their articles).

Good writers and good lovers are cunning linguists, but that's not all they have in common. The relationship between writer and reader is a lot like two strangers who catch each other's eye.  It can be magical love at first sight, or a sketchy pick-up in a bar, and either one is fine, provided you're true and honest about your story's intentions. Don't jilt the audience.
