Howdy all!

So, I've been doing a ton of brainstorming and discussing with my partner in crime/fiance, Osric, and tonight I feel like we made a very real breakthrough on the future of Origins. I really want a chance to sit down and chat with everyone about the changes going on, so I'm setting aside some time this coming weekend to do just that...

I would like to start doing a weekly art stream, but I've not had a lot of time to prep for it and I feel chatting out the new direction will be more beneficial at this point. So I will be doing a Question and Answer session on my Twitch channel (link) this Friday @7PM Central Time. I realize not everyone will be able to make it, so if you have questions you are welcome to PM me in advance and I will make a list and address them in addition to taking questions during the stream. Now, this is why I'm using Twitch. I will record this session so that anyone not able to attend can watch it later.

My desire is to be very forthcoming and transparent as always. So please don't hesitate to bring up whatever is on your mind. I'm looking forward to having a discussion with all of you. I'm very excited for the new chapter of Origins and I hope to get everyone else excited, too.
