I have great news to all Midnight fans around, this month the domain name was renewed and after being left hanging because of spoof mails using the domain I contacted my host and we tested it for the issue.

It is with great happiness that I deliver the news that www.againsttheshadow.org is back in business and already working, the current domain (www.againsttheshadow.net) will be kept around as well, the site will respond to both.

In the coming days I will make a full backup of the site and its files and change the main domain from .net to .org again.

Never despair in the face of adversity, for the shadow may be eternal, but her forces are not endless.

THe volume 1 of the Tome of Sorrows has been translated into french by a great team of fans and is now available from the Black Book website (the publisher of the french Midnight books).

Once again a testament to the quality of the fans of the setting and their dedication. 

Received this from the host:

Guys and girls,

The host company changed the ip of the site's server and some are having trouble accessing the site, in order to fix the issue you will have to either wait until your dns cache is properly updated or force it to update and recognize the new server IP address. In order to do so you jsut have to follow the following instructions on a Windows XP operating system, Vista user and other OS users might want to check how they can flush their DNS.

On the Start Menu go to Run, in the box type command and hit ok.

You will see a command prompt window, in it type: ipconfig /flushdns.

Hit enter, reboot the computer the site should be accessible again. I also apologize for the time it has been taking for me to solve issues with the site but I have been having troubles with my internet connection for the past weeks, the issue shall hopefully be solved soon.

Cheers,

With the gracious assistance of Dirigible, I was finally able to get a new adventure loaded in the Download's section.  The adventure, A Traitor Amongst Us, is a hunt to find a murderer in Baden's Bluff before the Shadow cracks down.  I was trying to create a different type of adventure that forces the player to find a killer in an occupied city.  Enjoy, and let me know what you think.  Before signing off, I'd like to thank Tony and Fred for their help with art, layout, and proofreading.
