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).

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.

So what would you guys say is their best adventure they helped right? Is it dark tower?

Dark Tower & Caverns of Thracia have the best reputations from what I've seen.  The only other one I own is "Talons of Night" for the D&D Master Set.  It's alright, not great.  Literally yesterday Goodman Games reported that the copies of the updated expansion/conversion of Dark Tower were en route from their Chinese sweatshops (oops, printers) and should be delivered in March.  That means the general public should be able to buy them in April/May.  This conversion is to either DCC or 5e, but also includes a reprint of the original, so you can use that with any OSR system.

It's funny I had heard a lot about Caverns of Thracia and very little about Dark Tower until very recently. Now I am curious about both.

Not just a pioneering designer, but an inspiration to queer and trans folk in the industry.

ALL of his stuff was done as PAUL.  Unsure how someone who decided at age 65 that he was a chick (LOL) is some sort of inspiration.  His massive contributions to the gaming world were all done as PAUL.  Bottom line.  Deal with it.

The friends and family would definitely appreciate it if you expressed your condolences using her correct name and pronouns.

We made it pretty far guys, it was a good thread, but now it will be about virtue signalers coming in and policing speech.  The memorial is over; it is time for performative politics now.

I'm not policing anything. I just stated a fact. What you choose to do with that information depends on what kind of person you are.

Yes. You were.  Just get over it, weirdo.  RPGnet.com is where you need to be.

Interesting in that the  the cult Jaquays joined in later life does force their personal value structures on to others.

You are right.  It's sad Paul died.  I am totally going to miss that dude.  ;D

Amen.

@people interacting with the troll:

this thread was made to honor a particular person - why are you letting another make it about him instead? you are giving the troll exactly what he wants - your time and attention. please stop and he'll go away.

Why are you asking us to use any particular name?

Well, it was what she requested when I talked to her about editing her Wikipedia article. It's her name. Asking why someone would want to be called by their name is about the stupidest imaginable question.

They're both pretty fucking good, and I honestly am not a huge fan of any modules after all the Gygax tournament ones. Duck Tower is probably his best one, actually, even if it's a tongue-in-cheek pseudo-parody. Worth converting from Runequest for any D&D-like system.
It takes considerable knowledge just to realize the extent of your own ignorance.

Because trolling works. Someone will always rise to the bait, and others will be sucked in.
The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.

This is a pretty funny thing considering we are on a site owned and r un by a guy who only calls himself RPGPundit.

And I'm pretty sure Venger Satanis wasn't his birth name.

Just pretend Jaquays was being an edgelord by being Jennell

His birthname was Henry Satanis Jr. They named the dog Venger.
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.

I know the asses over on TBP and places like it well enough to make an educated guess someone is using the departed's passing to astroturf some citations for "hate speech" or transphobia. Playing ball dishonors the dead.

You didn't answer my question.

Oh noes.
All right then. Bad faith troll confirmed. I should have listened to the others!

Your brains come tumbling down your snout

How did I know this thread would devolve into a shitfest about pronouns...PAUL wrote Dark Tower. Jennell revised it. I consider them two different people, honestly.

I find it ironic as fuck that "Burger" Heineman changed his name, too. Apparently, two of the most important "women" in gaming were actually dudes, which proves men are better at everything?

I was hoping one of the usual suspects wouldn't slip in and start policing the pronouns. But that was wishful thinking obviously because the dead are prime targets for the moral outrage brigade because they cant defend themselves or tell these people to fuck off.

RIP. His artwork in the late 70s and 80s really set the tone for old school fantasy for me.
