Finally circumvented my laptop problems and got my vote in.

 

And WHAT IS IT WITH YOU PERVERTS THAT YOU DON'T LIKE MUD WRASSLIN?!?

[death tribble]

Finally got a vote !

 

 

[Logan D. Hurricanes]

This one's almost in the books! Bumping one last time. 

 

[Hermit]

If I had a fourth vote, Misrepresentation Conservatory  would get it , loved the theme

[DShomshak]

I'm glad to see so many people appreciated the work I put into the Paolini Institute. It gave me a lot of ideas I can work into my own campaign. If I'm sufficiently ambitious and get the chance, there may even be a Champions supplement (minus the IPs owned by other people and companies, of course).
