NOMADSFrom Marcus - AIE’s Destiny 2 clan was reborn this year! We had an amazing expansion released in February. Witch Queen brought so many guardians back to the game. Since then we have been running clan night every Tuesday night at 9pm est. Between Strikes, PVP, gambit, nightfalls, and the occasional dungeon. This has been quite the year for Destiny 2 in AIE!

Coming in 2023…The next expansion “Lightfall” comes in Feb 2023! Then we will get 4 seasons throughout the year with Story, Raids, Dungeons, and updates to keep you playing!If you're interested in joining the clan ping Marcus or Wargus! We will get you into the fun!

“May the light provide!”

Merry Christmas!

From Albus - We have had a lot of fun with board gaming, and there's one particularly epic game of King of Tokyo that Face of Case won which stands out in my mind. He rolled just right and pulled off a double win! I'm looking forward to more people joining in next year and also the next AIE Con.

From Maellung - This year the D&D channel has been busy. Tons of great talk in there. Next year there are DMs and future new DMs looking to run some stuff.

From Max - Nomads in general, we've had players hosting private servers for AIE this year for us all to try out a ton of fun games. Definitely worth a shoutout to Sartavius and Fez organizing stuff in Valheim, Nazrai in Empyrion and Ark, Corley in Rust, etc. (am I missing any?) We really appreciate the extra hosting and organizing work!

WoWDankinia - Noob Raid and Noob Raid. Dankinia is looking forward to seeing how many Evokers show up on January 7th when Noob Raid returns.

Gusty - The biggest activity for me was AIE Con, with multiple WoW events and four Dungeons and Dragons one-shots - one led by a first time Dungeon Master. Most memorable,
