Work before play, but not every day.

Yet it is that way today, and has been this whole week. Between chasing down tax laws and talking to a CPA and lawyer who are both professional and knowledgeable, it has been a humbling learning experience. No matter how much I try to cross my T's and dot my I's, there will always be someone else I have to turn to and say "Did I do this right?". If there is one thing to be reminded of for anyone starting your own business, due diligence is greater then assumptions. If you don't know, ask; if they don't know, ask someone else. I bounced around City Hall to find out that my question was in fact not a city issue despite the fact it was governed by city law and location.

I have been preparing for the Midwest Fur Fest in Chicago for the last month, and today I moved our Moonshards website off our old servers with a clunky CSS and onto a new location. At the time of writing this, the DNS is not updated, but it will be prior to the convention. Two of the races have finally had content about them added. You can look forward to a timeline page by the next convention that can give a glimpse into the 30,000 cycle history of Moonshards lore.

Something to keep in mind as Moonshards unfolds before you: this is a world that has no concept of what a "human" is. The culture is based on three genders and as such has "laws" that may be hard to wrap your mind around. The oldest of the beings in this world are 30,000 cycles old. The word "cycle" is used for one full rotation of the main planet which is between the size of Saturn and Jupiter. A Great Cycle is an alignment of all twelve of the planet's moons which has nothing to do with the rotation around the star of the planet.
