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.

A good site for getting feedback on settings.

Another Good Site for that sort of thing is //www.strolen.com

The only oddness there is getting used to how to divide setting elements up into the various types of posts.

Having look at strolen further, is there a way to search only for highly-rated submissions?

Thanks for taking a look at the site! Moonhunter pointed me towards this forum and I like what I see!

The search is based off the weight of the search term so rating doesn't come into affect.

However, if you browse using the main categories you can sort those by rating by using the drop downs on the right.

Thanks.

Why is it that some entries that are 'Golden' appear after entries that aren't?

Goldens are determined by a separate voting system than normal votes. Once an author reaches level 6 on the site they are able to nominate and vote on Golden Submissions. Takes an total of 3+ authors to agree so Goldens are somewhat arbitrary based on the likes of the voting authors.

Unfortunately the site: //www.thecbg.org is coming up as riddled with malware in Chrome so I don't feel very comfortable entering it at the mo.

Anyone able to contact the administrators to let them know. It may be a false positive or just something wrong with the site setup.

This has something to do with links to an old site that aren't around anymore or something similar. It happens now and again, but as far as I know no one has ever actually been hit with malware or anything by it.

I've been using the site for just about a year and a half now and no issues at all. Good site, friendly community.

I, too, can assure you the the CBG is perfectly safe. I have been a member there for just over four years.
