XP for January has been awarded! Please let me know if you find any errors.
One thing that I wanted to note: I know that Sam previously accepted continuity journals in order to keep characters active. I will not be doing those. I actually did remove that ruling from the XP and Advancement rules, but I realize now that I didn't mention that in my announcement - which is completely my fault. As such, I did go ahead and accept them for January. However, beginning next month continuity journals will no longer be accepted. I'd like the character roster to be an accurate representation of who is active in the game, and to be realistic, if you haven't played at least 1 scene in 3 months then your character is not active.
I do want to stress though that culling inactive characters is not intended as a punishment. If your character gets retired and you'd like to bring them back, it's extremely easy to have them restored. As I stated in my last announcement, the only time I will ever deny a reactivation is if there's some serious mitigating factor involved.
