The Cranky crew got together for a little celebration, as show in this Christmas card drawn by Marzhin. After such a hectic year where there were disappointment, controversy and criticism, it's important to remember that there were also praises, cooperation and, most importantly, countless hours of fun. We sent our best wishes to Nival, Kuju, Ubisoft and Arkane, and we want to do the same for you, the fans, who keep this community alive and healthy no matter what happens.

I have my usual Year in Review feature in the work, a recap of what happened during the year with a little tongue-in-cheek commentary. We should post a couple of maps as well, and catch up on the content we didn't have time to finish. Feel free to drop by the Round Table if you have a chance; it sure is a nice way to relax and rest between two parties.
