My, Aren't We Opinionated!

conversation. Here at Vanguard Ten Ton Hammer we have a talented staff
of writers who also have a wide range of opinions. On this page you can
find articles on any number of topics related to online gaming and
Vanguard: Saga of Heroes. Want to share your own opinions? At the end
of each article you will find a link to the forum thread made for that
topic. Be sure to add your thoughts, even if the topic has been quiet
for a bit. There's always room for renewed conversation.
