Hello House Ventress and welcome to another report! It has been another quiet month, but that doesn't mean there hasn't been some exciting developments. I also want to welcome Mauro Wynter To Plagueis. He came back in October, but has since returned to full activity and has joined Opress.

DB News

Drac was first up with his 38th report as FIST and he followed it up with a supplemental a few days later. He announced that he had selected Blade as the SWTOR Tribune. Congrats to Blade, it will be great to see what they do with the SWTOR guild. He also asked for applications for M:FIST which went to Turel, congrats to Turel. He went on to discuss some changes top 'Gaming Nights' and Pendants of Blood and the resultant changes to the Wiki. Finally, he gave a short update on the progress of the GMRG society update. For you serious gamers in the House, I suggest you review his report if you haven't already.

Anubis was up next with several updates from the Regent office. It has been great to see so much awesome stuff coming from these guys. In his first report, he provided some updates on some new options for clan possessions, weapon upgrades (More on this later), artifacts and a new competition series. In his second report, we got some new starship upgrades based on Star Wars: Squadrons! We also got some updates on planetary assets, artifacts and further upgrades. Finally, he announced booster packs. These will contain 10-20 new item prototypes. The hope is that this will allow for more frequent releases than is normal now. He also announced Bentre as his new M:RGT.

We're not done with Regent news yet! In a supplemental, Anubis announced that the Artifact policy and weapon upgrades had been approved. Finally, in his 3rd report, full details were provided on the newly approved weapon upgrades. This includes a new store, the Eos Exotic Kyber Bazaar. This one I was excited about because I wanted to see more Lightsaber options. A huge thanks to Anubis and his staff for what must have been a tremendous amount of work to get all this approved and implemented.

In the last bit of DB news, we had Idris and his report announcing the feat overhaul! This was another mammoth project that took a lot of time to complete. There is way to much for me to summarise, so if you're into carefully crafting your character, I strongly suggest you give this report a read.
