I was contacted by someone wanting to buy the domain TheUnraveling.com.

Here’s the thing: When Dave Szulborski died in 2009, I inherited all his domains except for his own personal one. My plan was to start populating them with backups of the game sites I had from when we were running the games. But I kept putting it off, because it was painful.

That email spurred me into action, and I already had all the pieces to put the puzzle trail back into place, so I set it up. And it was nice to do. Spurred on by that, I went through my backups to see what other sites I had available.

Probably things are broken in them, but they’re semi-functional. Enjoy them. Maybe someday I can get more up and running. I’ve got a lot of the CTW2 domains tucked away for a rainy day…
