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.

Great Topic!

1. Stop looking into other fantasy games (I just run fantasy....all that interests me and all I've got the time for). I've got a bad habit of doing this. I know AD&D 2e so well and I can really do the styles of games I like to run with it. Other games are great.....I'm just not going to spend money on stuff I know I'll never play. I still buy OSR compatible stuff, which there is loads of great stuff.
2. Related to 1. Finish selling the games from my shelf I've not touched in literal years. I know people would say keep 'em for inspiration....and I have kept some. But most are gone, thankfully. This also includes selling the games of companies that hate me and don't want me in the hobby.
3. Celebrating D&D's 50th in my own way since I left Wazi long ago.
4. Ignoring a lot of gaming companies social media. I have select Facebook groups and here. I get what info I need without wasting more time than necessary.

On the bright side, said company that hates you does not get any financial reward from your sales and it can even be argued that they lose a potential sale as well.  :-)

1d6 HP per Level.
Max HP, at 1st Level.
Attacks deal 1d6 Damage, per Level.
Casting from Scrolls, only. (Easy for the DM to manage.)

Advantage and Disadvantage, when appropriate.
Etc....
Let the Dice, Decide the Outcome.  Accept the Results.

Finish my bestiary, then make a fantasy core book of an alternative to TFT.

In the year of D&D's 50th anniversary, I would like to (once again) play a little bit of OD&D. Maybe just the first three books, maybe in Gary's Greyhawk. Maybe I'd even run it myself for a little bit. But only a little bit, because 1e AD&D is my game.

That reminds me of how I was determined to run a bit of Cyberpunk 2020 in 2020, then Covid happened...
I'm a middle aged guy with a lot of free time, looking for similar, to form a group for regular gaming. You should be chill, non-woke, and have time on your hands.

My resolution is to go for broke on my Swords & Wizardry and Hyperborea campaigns. Kick it up a notch: More adventures, more monsters, more death and involuntary amputations, more treasure, more weirdness, go crazy!!!!!!
The worms crawl in and the worms crawl out
The ones that crawl in are lean and thin
The ones that crawl out are fat and stout
Your eyes fall in and your teeth fall out
Your brains come tumbling down your snout
Be merry my friends
Be merry

I don't do resolutions, as I'd rather set aggressive goals even if they might fail.  An RPG goal is to get my system rules into a publishable state, or least would be if the art was done.
