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.

Creepy. While I was out today, I bought a copy of the Rules Cyclopedia! I started a separate thread about it.

If I were going to introduce some peeps to RPG, it would likely depend on what they were into. And either use the nWoD rules for some kind of investigative adventure or I'd use Savage Worlds and set up a session set in whatever genre everyone said they were into the most at the time.

Last night I got volunteered to start running a regular Saturday morning game for my friends' kids... additional to my (very) randomly  scheduled Beatrix Potter campaign (different group of kids)...
The boys like Harry Potter & Lemony Snickets... which I know very little about... but after talking to them I'm planning to use CoC to run a quasi-Victorian urban fantasy with crossover into the Dreamlands setting... tweaked to include some ideas they had. No overt Mythos stuff... only a bit scary, way more fantasy/mystery... Oliver Twist crossed with Lord Dunsany.

I'm not going to write much ahead of time, because we're gonna make it up as we go... but in honor of Seanchai I'll include a princess in need of rescuing...

Very cool.

I thought about doing the same, with the princess. But I was going to give her an evil Quato, which the players could potentially release onto the world. Maybe that princess was locked away for a reason.
