1001 Knights is an art anthology project focusing on creating people-positive characters with feminist overtones, created by Annie Stoll and Kevin Jay Stanton. Kickstarter: bit.ly/1001Knights Official Site: onethousandandoneknights.com Twitter: twitter.com/1001_Knights Facebook: www.facebook.com/OneThousandAndOneKnights Track Artwork: Annie Stoll (twitter.com/aniistoll) & Kevin Jay Stanton (twitter.com/kevinjaystanton) Annie is a friend of mine that I met at ConnectiCon a few years ago. I was there for OC ReMix and she was our table neighbor, promoting her webcomic, Ode. While planning the Kickstarter campaign for 1001 Knights, she put out a call for a musician to do trailer music. I volunteered, and was immediately impressed with the incredible artwork being produced for the anthology. Annie asked me to put together a piece of music that felt mysterious and important, with fantasy and fairy tale overtones. I wrote a piece called "Gather Your Courage," which would serve as the main theme of the 1001 Knights project. Annie, Kevin, and I were all pretty happy with this piece for the Kickstarter trailer, and everything seemed set. I loved what I'd written in "Gather Your Courage" so much that I felt like experimenting on my own. I decided to arrange my own piece in 6/8 time, and ended up writing this piece, "The Winter March," a heavier, more militaristic arrangement. I sent it over to Annie and Kevin, and they loved it so much that, eventually, we decided to use it for the trailer instead. "Gather Your Courage" is still the main theme of the 1001 Knights project, and I'll be posting it in the coming weeks. I'm also planning on releasing a small EP for purchase including these two tracks (along with a few more original pieces), which is why this track is streaming-only. But for now, please enjoy "The Winter March," and be sure to head on over to Kickstarter and back the project!

Here's the group for coordinating meals: https://groupme.com/join_group/19335832/Vpnh2h

I think Beth is the group "leader" right now so she has to go in and make the group shareable. Once it's shareable, she can post the link.

Hey everyone. Figured I'd get this discussion rolling now. So during Magfest I know that everyone likes to coordinate when we go out and get food, when we're gonna hit concerts, and other general hanging out. In the past we've used GroupMe, a mobile messaging app, to coordinate. Other options are Hangouts and Facebook Messenger. I personally would ask that nobody include me in group MMS and SMS texting (it costs me money on my phone if you're not an iPhone user). The "OverClocked ReMix" group still exists on GroupMe, but I'd like to propose we make a couple of chatrooms for coordinating. One for food meetups ("anyone getting lunch? where are you guys going? what time?"), one for concerts and panels, and one for general hangout/magchat stuff. What do you guys think? I've renamed the OCR group to OC ReMix @ MAGFest 2016

what about me

Helping your competitor?! How brazen!

Just know that the calendar is there for you to use, so if you want to put mixing rounds on the calendar, that's fine by OCR.

Hey everyone, djpretzel and I have finally gotten around to working on calendar and event permissions. We've created a new usergroup on the forums for Event Schedulers. These folks are able to post to calendars and approve their own events. I've added the folks who regularly run competitions to this group: MindWanderer, SuperiorX, HoboKa, and Bundeslang. Anyone else needs to have their events approved by a moderator (like me). If you are planning on running a recurring compo or a tournament, I can approve your events for you and if things work out, I can eventually add you to the ES group.

Yeah we have to look at events again. Permissions might've been mucked in the upgrade.

The idea was to reuse the character models from Spirits Within as other characters in other movies made by Square Enix. Essentially treat the character models as "actors" that could be recast.

Which smiley?

It's possible this is related to the content of your posts. Next time this happens, make a note of any special characters or the length of your post.

They're working.

I played this this past weekend. Really amazing game. I get why everyone's so crazy over it.

I think you should rename this competition to "CASTLEMANIA!!"

Yeah I was asking you, since you did the Iwata album and the Pokémon one, but if you don't have time that's cool.

Certainly an easier way to give recognition to smaller games/series that might not get the steam for its own big anniversary tribute album. Any game with a 5x + 10 anniversary would be eligible, year to year. Interested in running it?

Instead of doing 10 remix albums, why not do one with a track from every anniversary game? Could be cool.

I would argue that the non-classic themes didn't sound like his other Star Wars work, but that Rey's Theme in particular feels straight out of one of his Harry Potter scores.

Actually one of the things I really liked about this movie was that it made Stormtroopers more powerful and scary. First Order Stormtroopers are more on the level of the Repubic's Clonetroopers than the Empire's old Stormtroopers. That fight between Finn and the Riot Control Trooper was awesome.

The Star Wars Saga is comprised of the numbered "episode" movies. Episodes 1-6 originally. Now that there's a new set of "episodes," those are included. Next year's "Rogue One" and the Young Han Solo movie that they're making are "anthology" movies. There are other characters and other things that happen in the Saga, but it's always meant to have been the story of the Skywalker family. We started with Luke, went back to see what happened with Anakin, and now we're seeing what happens with Rey.

The Star Wars Saga is the story of the Skywalker family.

Oh I know. I'm just saying that the word Modus is looking for is "remake." Also Nabeel is joking. Brandon said in his post that Rey is possibly the daughter of "Luke and Leia." He probably meant "or."

It's okay. Everyone enter this, it is a cool and interesting competition run by a cool and interesting person.
