Games Site v10

With the new year is a new version of the Games Site. Enjoy!

Updates include:

  • Various back-end adjustments, updates, and redesigns.
  • Redesigned Overmenu and logo. Know where you are by the gold coin. Know where you're looking to go by the silver coin.
  • Redesigned main menu to cut down on clutter.
  • New menu to navigate between the main sections listed in the main menu. (Previous and Next)
  • Pages (sans starting index) will have a submenu to guide you through the various sections of a page. I.e., the Lothar Branch Section has a submenu listing Events and Players, with a dropdown menu from the Players tab to allow sorting players by all the same previous options.
  • News Archives from before 2008 have been more completely folded into the format of the Games Site.

New Year's Day!

Happy New Year! May 2024 go as well as we can hope.

The Valar Guild Games Site is maintained by Eonwë-(Valar).
