October has been quite a month for us. Ancient Worlds' new neighborhoods opened this month. For information on the Germanic Neighborhoods, see the Featured Article on the left by Odin Knudsson. We also celebrated the Germanian Fall Festival, called Aznodul, October 1 - 3.

There were several activities and contests held by Germanics. Beatrix Godwinson sponsored our Fall Hunt. You can read her article about it in our Featured Articles section. Another popular event was the Barbarian Crossword Challenge. Bryce Yupanqui was kind enough to put the clues found by several Germanics into her cool program so that we could hold this contest. A big, big thank you to her as she was pretty sick at that time but still managed to get it going. Many people tried it, you can see a list here .

There were also three board activities scheduled this year. Ragnarok, the Nordanverdr Saga, and the drinking "contest" over at the Red Boar Tavern. Another of our residents, Aelfwine Scylding, wrote an article about Ragnarok. It is another of the Featured Articles at left. The Nordanverdr Saga wasn't as busy as the others, but it sure tickled my funny bone!

What can one say about the Red Boar Tavern drinking contest? The "winners" are announced here. There is still craziness going on around there; Odin is young again, there are monkeys and wolves roaming wild, and well - go see for yourself! There is always room to join in the fun and frolicking at the Red Boar!

Since the last issue of the ACTA, there have been four new groups added to Germania. They each have their own special flavor which adds to our world. Please visit them and find out what's cooking in Germania!
