In case you didn't notice the new
face around here at LadyGamers.com, Nightfall is our new Friday Fun
Day gal. Just in case you are still oblivious to what FFD is, LG
'only' focuses on action and strategy games, with occasional news
about comicbooks and/or movies. Since we don't want to be mean to
other genres that pop out from time to time, we allow news like role
playing, card games on Fridays. Think of it as our TGIF (Thank God
It's Friday) type of post. Since Nightfall was an old
Quake player back in that day, she now has a love for role
playing games. I personally thought she'd be the best pick for the
Friday Fun Day posts. Keep a look out for this lovely lady from time
to time, and especially look for her Friday posts. Welcome to the
team Lady Nightfall! [Welcome

Speaking of LG Team, the

been updated with a few profiles of the people who help out here at
