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.

I don't usually plug my ebay auctions outside of ebay, but found a copy of Dinky Dungeons and have it up for sale this week.  Dinky Dungeons was a complete RPG in a 3"x5" baggie -- including rules booklet, character sheets, and a starting adventure. It was playable and interesting as the review/description on Steffan O'Sullivan's web site shows:

QuoteDinky Dungeons is a simple role-playing game (RPG) published in 1985 by "Doc's Games - an Uncle Morty Production." The format is unique for an RPG: the original (complete) game was sold in a ziplock bag measuring 3" by 5" - and the actual rulebook is only 2.5" by 3.25"! (~60 x 85 mm.)

The ziplock bag includes a 32-page rulebook, an errata sheet, a GM-screen, some character sheets, an adventure, an adventure map, and 2d6 - two 5mm dice (3/16").

The game is a wonder of conciseness. The rulebook includes character creation, character classes and races, weapons, armor, and items to buy, two different systems of magic spells, action resolution, saving throws, combat, "skill rolls", experience rules, and a monster list containing 37 creatures with stats, over half of them also having some note or other. The errata sheet includes the missing notes for some of the monsters, some detail about combat that was overlooked, rules for healing, alternate experience rules, and a picture of a Fuzzy Winker whining.

If you are interested in a copy of Dinky Dungeons, the eBay auction ends Thursday evening.
