    Join the livestream as we play a few PvP rounds of chaos.soccer, get ready to watch the #worldcup finals, and generally forgot that people in America don't really care about #soccer Before the stream head into chaos.soccer and nab some team merch and make sure your rpg.actor sprite is kitted out to support your favorite team. There will be some custom rpg.actor item give-aways for people on the stream. We'll also open up the PvP area for people on the stream to jump on.

    We are all creative souls, this is the very nature of being human and our creative energies while they seem inconsequential to us are deeply powerful for those beings that to whom they give life.

Long ago these beings have found a way to harness our creative energies pooling them and drawing on them to perform acts of incredible magic in service of...

    It was just as bad as Special Agent Tricia Masters had imagined it - maybe worse. The big pieces of the shooting had fallen into place quickly. The car's plates had gotten them to a registration and drivers license in Texas with a photo that matched the body they had in the morgue.

She was sitting on a bench next to an empty fountain, picking at the cold beef and broccoli she'd gotten from the Panda Express.
