Welcome to the October newsletter from the DragonsCavern website.

This month we have news on:
o    Tudor Mint new releases
o    Changes to the website
o    Vote Results and a new vote
 
Tudor Mint News:
=============
There are some new studies speeding their way into shops this month;

3998    I Love the Open Road!   
4002    I Hate Being Second!   
4003    Hell, I'm lost!   
4006    There's Nothing Like Winning!   
4007    I said, "Follow Me!"   
4008    How Much Longer Is She Going To Be?!

All are priced at £17.95

Visit the subscribers section of the website, and follow the link at the top of the page to exclusively preview these studies.

We can also reveal that the year piece for 2006 (OY2006) will be called Dragonlord. The dragon  featured in the  study was originally designed with small wings and a long snake-like neck and the Tudor Mint will be putting two of these into a prize draw for those members of the collectors club who renew their club subscription before the end of December and those who renew by direct debit. The piece was changed to have bigger wings but then was completely resculpted, now looking nothing like a reptile any more. We hope to be able to get images of the original and revised versions of this study over the coming months.
 
Changes to the Website:
===================
The sales section of the website (http://www.dragonscavern.co.uk/shop.htm) now has a section of studies we offer for sale directly to you. These are priced very reasonably, and are selling fast. Also in the sales section we now have recommended dragon / wizard related book links from our friends at Amazon.co.uk.

As a result of last months vote and the over whelming support for the idea, we will shortly be launching a new feature - the DragonsCavern.co.uk Forum - to all visitors, but subscribers can take an early look at the new DragonsCavern.co.uk Forum by visiting http://forums.dragonscavern.co.uk
We have scoured the web for powerful, yet simple forum software, and found one that offers many additional fun features;

* The ability to choose a small image (avatar) for your messages
* A reward system for posting and replying to messages (where you can earn drouts)
* A shop to spend your drouts on virtual Myth and Magic related items
* A lottery where you can use your drouts to buy a ticket to win big virtual prizes
* A games section where you can earn drout rewards for good scores
* An optional chat facility for future use

We like this forum, and hope that you'll make use of it on a regular basis.

More copies of the Methtintdour magazine have been added to the subscribers section of the website, as well as more tales of the studies from our writer, The StoryTeller, in the New Methtintdour Chronicles section.

To access your exclusive subscribers section of the website, please use your username and your password.
