You guys are going to want to check this out. Members of the PEBA have had a chance to beta test DesertFox07's new OOTP fantasy utility, and I've got to say that it adds a whole new level of enjoyment to your league. It's literally a game within a game! A brilliant concept that's very well executed, and DesertFox07 has shown a commitment to working out bugs and adding feature enhancements.

I'm greatly anticipating the first public version release on the 29th. It's an absolutely blast.

In the spirit of OOTP releases and the Road to Release (of which I acxtually got to writeon this year), I am writing three articles leading up to Wednesdays release.

Toady is article the first: The Feature list. Check it out at the site.

It's Monday so it's time for the Road to 1.0 #2: Screen Grab Gallery. Even my faithful beta testers led by Corsairs will want to check these out as they contain some never before seen views into the admin and commissioner control panels. It's only a small sampling of all the views available, but more to tie everyone over until Wednesday.
