THE YEW TIMES – A Newspaper for Sosaria

Written by members of the UO community Issue 3 WORLD NEWS Golem Experiment Falls Flat A year’s worth of dedication in perfecting the mechanical shepherd has been rife with numerous failures, says controversial tinker and inventor, Harvey Croblink. “Mind you, the mechanical golem though a modern marvel, is pretty much simple-minded in it’s tasks.

UO Forums Interviews Jeff Skalski
