SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Oooh, this is cool. never was much of a 4chan user, like you said, it can be frustrating to navigate and all. But I really like this concept and can see it blowing up with the popularity of projects like SCP becoming their own RPGs and the fanbase behind them. Can't wait to see more!

Thanks, I'm hoping to get a few more Monsters of /X/ out in the next couple months.

keeping an eye on this project. /x/ tends towards the urban-fantasy just because of its structure, but I bet a lot of cool fey creatures could be adapted from there. and obviously if you're running a straight urban-fantasy you're golden.
