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.

Labyrinth Lord 2 coming soon

I will probably never run ACKS.  It's designed for a different target audience.  I have almost all the books, and will almost assuredly buy the 2nd editions, despite the fact that I've made a concerted, largely successful effort over the last 10-15 years to stop buying games that I probably won't run.  My gaming shelves are overall smaller than they were before that time, and shrinking every year.

The reason why I still buy ACKS is odd.  Every now and then, someone has a game that is off enough from what I want to make me think about how I run things, but close enough to still be useful.  I'm in an adjacent target audience, not dead one.  Plus, I have a soft spot for things that do what they are intended to do--even what they are intended to do isn't for me.
