GoldStruck! was the culmination of quite a few terrific things, the least of which was the timely reading of one Homestuck webcomic by dither and cookiemonger. The desire to roleplay was uncontrollable, but a new world was needed for original characters to inhabit. These conditions led to the creation of GoldStruck!
GoldStruck! ran from July 12-25 2012. What follows is a list of links to individual game posts, grouped by post date and accompanied by a brief summary of events.
