Ladies and gentlemen, gather round, for we are unveiling the beautiful art of Feyshtey and the masterful coding of Nolaquen in the new look of
SILKY VENOM. With input and help from the entire staff, these two have brought together the feel and sight of fantasy and community to serve Vanguard fans.
Silky Venom's launch coincides with another exciting event: both
Silky Venom and
The Last Vanguard Fanboy have been accepted as Affiliate fansites by Sigil. If you check the
official Vanguard site, you will see we have been moved from
Other Sites to the
Affiliates List. The popping of champagne corks you hear in the background is the staff party celebrating this event.
Back to the look of our Site, we invite you to explore it and take advantage of the
MY SILKY VENOM feature to customize it as much as possible to your taste. Navigation is simple. Looking at the very top navigation bar, you will find various sections available for your exploration. Right now, you are clicked into
ARTICLES. Take a look at the second navigation bar directly below the first navbar, offering further choices for exploration:
Latest (where you are right now),
News (the News Story forum),
Feature Story (the Feature Story forum). In these latter two forums, you can express your opinions and views right under your topic of choice.
The same is true for each of the other sections. Clicking on
COMMUNITY will provide you with a brand new second navbar, offering you choices of
Forums and
Members. Clicking on
SPECIAL FEATURES will offer you the selection of the
Special Features we have at
Silky Venom (
Getting on Oloh's Case,
Fozzik's Hardware,
Who Asked the Bard?!,
Raya's Dungeon and
Pariath's Arena). Clicking on
GALLERY or
MY SILKY VENOM will similarly present different choices on the second navbar.
In coming days, we will be showcasing a host of dainties for your reading pleasure—as with all fansites we hope to bring you the most up-to-date news regarding Vanguard, Sigil Games, and personal insight into the people who are creating our game—views, interviews, screenshots and interaction. We will have articles regarding the industry in general. And our
Special Features will offer a wide variety of topics and interaction:
Fozzik's Hardware will explore the various aspects of computer hardware available, perhaps someday even venturing into benchmark comparisons, and will include the requirements to play Vanguard as soon as they become available.
Raya's Dungeon will take you on a trip through the most torturous areas known to English-kind…the English language and how it works…but this will be no ordinary journey and not to be undertaken by the faint of heart.
Getting on Oloh's Case will provide insight into the legal aspects of game developing in general, and allow readers to ask questions about the intricacies of intellectual property and game developing law.
Who Asked the Bard?! is a refreshing and ofttimes totally hilarious look at the politically correct ways to immerse yourself in the gameworld. You will have the opportunity to ask the Bard (Nepenthia) any question you like. If she doesn't know the answer, you may find the invented answer quite amusing.
Pariath's Arena is not so much a column or commentary as a chance for you to come to a minimal moderation forum and vent. Kick back, relax and share your opinions with other like-minded people.
Some of the
Special Features are still being worked on, as we speak. If the column or commentary itself is not up (although all the forums are up for these
Special Features), please have patience, chat with us on the respective forums, and even make suggestions on what you would like to see or ask questions we can field once the SF's are up.
We hope you will enjoy your stay at
Silky Venom. We have gathered together an impressively talented team whose passion for Vanguard is equaled by our passion to share it with you, the reader. We are an unfunded, non-profit group of volunteers who are doing this because we believe in Vanguard…most of all because we are passionate about playing the game and this is the closest we can come to it for now
Come back, come often, join the SV family.
