+            <p>Lords and ladies,</p>
+
+            <p>Sorry for the radio silence since Longwelwind stepped back from development. I just couldn't find the muse to write until now.</p>
+
+            <p>I've got some exciting updates to share. I've been busy behind the scenes, and I&apos;m thrilled to announce that all three&nbsp;official&nbsp;expansions&nbsp;—&nbsp;<b>
+            Dance with Dragons</b>, <b>Feast for Crows</b> and <b>Mother of Dragons</b>&nbsp;—&nbsp;are now fully integrated into the platform!&nbsp;🎉 But that's not all;
+            I&apos;ve also added a bunch of custom variants to keep your games fresh and exciting.</p>
+
+            <p>One of the coolest new features is the <b>Dragon War</b> mode, where each house starts with their very own dragon.
+            This is sure to add a fiery twist to your strategies.</p>
+
+            <p>In addition to these expansions, we&apos;ve rolled out several fundamental features to enhance your gaming experience:</p>
+
+            <ul>
+                <li><b>Modular Integration of MoD Elements:</b> You can now enjoy elements from Mother of Dragons like the Iron Bank in any scenario, even
+                without the Essos side board.</li>
+                <li><b>Draft House Cards:</b> A fan-favorite that lets you draft house cards and influence positions before the game begins, adding
+                a strategic layer from the start.</li>
+                <li><b>Live Game Clock:</b> Keep the game moving with timed turns, just like in chess.</li>
+                <li><b>Ingame Replacement by Vote:</b> Seamlessly replace players during ongoing games.</li>
+                <li><b>Vassal System as a Player Elimination Mechanic:</b> Available in every game, this is the official solution for handling players
+                who leave or can be considered eliminated in live games.</li>
+                <li><b>Animations, Sound, and Ingame Music:</b> Special thanks to <b><a href="https://liliannecoeverden.com/" target="_blank" style="color: white">Lilianne Coeverden</a></b> for contributing the sounds for the 8 houses.</li>
+                <li><b>Many More Fun Variants:</b> Explore exciting options like House Card Evolution, Blind Draft, and more.</li>
+            </ul>
+
+            <p>Thanks for your patience and continued support. Enjoy crossing swords and mastering ravens!</p>
