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.

Mike Cantrell, my good friend and the editor of my RPG Design Patterns book, brought an article to my attention concerning the Creative Commons licenses:

A Bug in Early Creative Commons Licenses Has Enabled a New Breed of Superpredator.

The article points out that there are trolls out there exploiting a flaw in older versions of the Creative Commons licenses. Fortunately, more recent versions of the licenses address the problem. Consequently, today I re-released the book under the most recent version of the license. You can download the revised version from my website. If you happen to have the book available for download from one of your sites, I'd appreciate it if you would update it to the latest revision so we can avoid any unnecessary encounters with trolls in the future. And, if you happen to have released any of your own content under an older CC license, you might want to consider updating your license to the most recent version as well.
