Myth III Reviews
Another Somber MJ Plan Update
Jay Kootar at Mumbo Jumbo Games has updated his .plan file, this time with a short and somber poem:
Robert Frost -Nature's first green is gold,

Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

The Show Goes On: No Myth III Virus
