Exciting news, dear raiders! Exactly one year ago this group has been brought to life and today we celebrate our very first annivesary! This year was very eventful and we hit quite a few milestones including this one! Read on because it's time to get nostalgic, and even better, time for presents!
Why is this important for us and what have we accomplished with your help?
Thanks to our awesome members and your responsiveness we managed to hit 2000+ members in less than just a year. Thank you so much for that, you guys are really amazing 
We launched our special „Challenge games“ project which started only as a test idea and you seemed to have loved it – we had 2 games so far ( I, II) so if you hadn't yet participated in them be sure to do so in our next one which is underway! We tried to collect and share rare and interesting things regarding Tomb Raider and therefore we created a special “Treasure Vault” (check the front page to find it). So far we unlocked 3 secrets for you and don’t worry - we haven’t forgotten about the 4th one. Keep an eye out for it, we just might reveal it very soon 
Something that we’re really proud of since a lot of time and effort was put into it - our very first art contest! We were truly touched by the great response that it got and once again we want to thank you guys for being so enthusiastic about it. Keep an eye out for the next one! Launched our YouTube Channel administrated by our dearest admin Orphen5 who always makes sure to deliever the latest and most interesting TR videos so make sure to subscribe and be the first to take a look at all the exciting raider videos! The last but not the least is another great event which is extremely important given that dA is an art community in the first place. During this year we successfully suggested 8 Daily Deviations helping the talented artists of our community to get more exposure 
And now as promised – it's presents time! Many of you took part in our group’s projects, but there are some of you who have been especially supportive and active during this year. We truly appreciate your support, you gave us your love and it’s time to give some of it back. As a thank you for being such loyal and supportive raiders we want to award a certain circle of members for their especially active participation in the group’s life and great response to all the projects and updates we made. Each of the following people will be awarded with 50 points and a feature. Thank you so much, keep on being so amazing!
And also, a special thanks to
for her great help in finding and submitting so many amazing TR pieces to our galleries! (Hvala, Andrea!) 
But, there’s more! Every member of the group now has a chance to get a premium membership and enjoy the delights of the subscription for 3 whole months!

We wish to thank you for 6 amazing years of an adventurous and artistic ride, joining our projects and motivating us to continue making fun new stuff for you which included a little bit of everything for those who were more on the artistic side and even for those who were just here to raid some tombs! :D And wow, we recently passed the 5000 members count.

Upcoming Tomb Raider 2 REMAKE
Does the title sound like something that came straight out of your dreams? Well wake up and shake it off, because this is exactly what's happening. For real!
Tomb Raider: The Dagger of Xian is being remade! It's not coming from the official developers but what you're about to see will blow your mind because the remake looks better than you could ever imagine. Especially for a game which is entirely fan-made. Still suspicious? Take a look at some of the screenshots:
And guess who is the author? The one and only Nicobass (https://www.deviantart.com/nicobass) - remember him and his famous 3D renders which made you stare in awe when you first saw them? :D Well, he is our guy.

I'm past the due date for this blog but I just wanted to chip in anyway.
I actually got started the first day Tomb Raider 1 came on Playstation 1, However I didn't actually own it at that time; a friend that got it the day it came out brought it over and I started playing it non-stop they saw that I was liking it soo much that they decided to just let me borrow it even though they had just gotten it. I played the game non-stop and right when I got to the last boss they brought their little brother over and as I was fighting the boss they took out the disc and broke it
That was absolutely ridiculous 
I didn't have a job back then I was 11; So I started working for anyone that needed some help getting money but it took me a year to finally get the money 
and then Tomb Raider 2 was about to come out and I was like 
must have. So I ended up getting that one instead I freak'in loved the boat part and the quads, and the snowmobile 
Anyway I beat I beat that one pretty fast (it's what happens when your addicted 
) Then I saved up and got the 3rd game, Yep still hadn't beat the first.. and went through that one, after that I think that is when I got Tomb Raider 1 gold edition and finally beat it! Then since then I also played Tomb Raider 4 on playstation but after that I started to get them on PC because I saw people were making levels and outfits and So since then I have been getting them on PC owned and beat all of them so far! Including many user created levels!
Asides from the games I also was collecting every freak'in picture or drawing I found online of her clothed or not I was obsessed! Then a tragedy happened.. to my hard drive and I lost it all! All the pictures and movies I had gotten of her That was a devastating blow to me.
So that really left me sad so I stopped collecting photos and drawings for a long while but I picked up all the Tomb Raider novels and comic books! pretty confident I have them all, and not only do I have them all separately; I also have the compendium edition which is missing some but still cool
I also have some figures of her and did a resin build and paint of her. I wish I could get more of the figures but I'm poor
I would also love love love to have a life size statue of her like they had at the stores! I've also collected the Giant Art of Tomb Raider coffee book, but the corner of the outer box got damaged in the mail 
but the inside ones are still good 
Oh I also have a bunch of the Tomb Raider card game cards and junk but only tried playing the card game once or twice.
Obviously I also have the movies!
I have begun recollecting photos and art work and cgi clips and stuff of her again.. but that hard hit to my hard drive still has me bummed out to this day because I can't find everything I had before even though I've searched high and low.
So presently I am a little disappointed that the PC version of the next game is not sold in the USA in physical form; but I'm getting it shipped from the UK because I really want the PC version with all the extras; I ended up pre-ordering the Survival Edition even though I'd really like the Collectors but like I said I'm poor Wish I had money for sooo much more Tomb Raider collectibles makes me a bit sad that I don't have the money but I make the best of what I have I really would like to also have the Comic book that comes with the bestbuy pre-order.. I want it sooo bad *wah!*
Anyway keep on Raiding!
Also if anyone is around USA CT and wants to model as Lara Croft for photos let me know;
It'd be awesome
