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.

Quote from: Rhymer88 on June 01, 2024, 03:26:01 AMMaybe Mearls will create some kind of BRP lite, similar to Dragonbane.

Mearls is a fan of Dragonbane (I chatted with him in the Dragonbane Facebook group about him maybe doing some DB stuff), so that certainly seems possible.

Quote from: Nakana on June 01, 2024, 12:40:27 PMWhat's your reason for hating Chaosium?
My own problem with Chaosium is they gave license to Mongoose to publish RuneQuest. Mongoose used the OGL and a bunch of companies used that to create their own games. Then Chaosium ended the license and said the OGL was invalid except for one publisher they liked. They had years to tell Mongoose their license did not allow them to publish to the OGL but they didn't. I might have a few details wrong but the whole thing left a bad taste in my mouth.

Chaosium also likes to pull a page from SJG and play internet bully. Seen Chaosium staff get on forums and threaten legal action for speaking out against their actions.
