Judgment seat translates bema , which, in its simplest definition, describes a place reached by steps, or a platform. The Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Old Testament) uses it that way in Nehemiah 8:4. In Greek culture bema referred to the elevated platform on which victorious athletes received their crowns, much like the medal stand in the modern Olympic games. In the New Testament it was used on the judgment seats of Pilate (Matt. 27:19; John 19:13), Herod (Acts 12:21), and Festus (Acts 25:6, 10, 17). There was also a bema at Corinth, where unbelieving Jews unsuccessfully accused Paul before the Roman proconsul Gallio (Acts 18:12, 16, 17). A person was brought before a bema to have his or her deeds examined, in a judicial sense for indictment or exoneration, or for the purpose of recognizing and rewarding some achievement. Writing to the Romans of this same event, Paul described it as “the judgment seat [ bema ] of God” (Rom 14:10). God the Father is the ultimate Judge, but He has “given all judgment to the Son” (John 5:22).

Hi Nathan,

Yes, we are still kicking. We are still moving along with the Second
Edition, slowly, but moving.

The newest adventure, Vulturian's Tower is in its final rewrite; after
that, another playtest and then layout and printing. We still need some
artwork done for it, but that shouldn't be too hard to get done, then
again, almost everything else has been a struggle, why not the art too
😉

After that, we have three or four adventures that we can work on - plenty
to keep us busy.

This list stays quiet because people either do not ask questions or
respond to the ones posted. I have tried several times to get some
discussions going, but they have fizzled quickly. One person can't do
all the work, so I ask that someone else bring up a topic sometime soon.
Of course, you have missed a lot of stuff Nathan, but you should be able
to go to the welovegod.org site and check out the DragonRaid files to see
some old stuff.
