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.

BTW, a lot of my personal interpretation of traditional fantasy creatures comes from George Macdonald's books.  Phantastes: A Fairie Romance for Men and Women, Princess and and the Goblin, and Lilith are three books that are particularly influential to me.

Never read it, my partial Appendix N:

Mercy Thompson, Patricia Briggs
Monster Hunter Intl, Larry Correia
Buffy
Kolchack The Night Stalker
Underworld
Van Helsing (the Hugh Jackman movie)

I highly recommend George Macdonald.  His stuff is highly dated as it was all written in the 1800s but it has a charm so many modern fantasy writers lack.  JRR Tolkien and CS Lewis had Macdonald in their Appendix N.

Your list is all good stuff.  Kolchack The Night Stalker is a particular one that I've enjoyed.  (it's been 30+ years since I've seen it though.)

I'd definitely recommend also Dresden Files books.

Now, Vampire and Werewolf are things you're not born into but become, so those should be classes IMHO.


Can you multiclass? And can you be a Vampire/Werewolf?

Why not? Dracula did it.

He was a Wizard/Vampire/Werewolf in his novel (in D&D terms he was some unholy multi-class fighter/wizard (enchanter/necromancer)/cleric (of Satan)/anti-druid who was also a vampire).

Haven't gotten that far as rules for multiclassing in general, not sure which way I'll go.

That hybrid is very Underworld, not sure either but if yes then chances of dying have to be very high, near 100%
