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 this is the Shadow everyone is in !

Hello everyone,

I just joined this site.  It is great to see that Amber has not faded away.
Hope everyone is doing good !

Thanks Nihilistic.

This looks like a very good site with ideas and ponderings about all things Amber.
I had sadly thought all such sites had faded into obscurity.  It's nice to see an active Amber site.

Just curious, how did you find out about this Amber Forum?

I did a google search and had to go through a lot of dead sites or games that closed years ago.  I eventually put in Amber DRPG 2008 and started going through those links.

I hope you can spread the word.

I think I speak for everyone who plays Amber, or aspires to wanting to give it a shot, that this is a very active forum, as well as being the Official Forum as well.

Although I wonder what value this may have without erick's support :(

What value the site has? Or it being "official"?

In regards to the first, the value will be based on how much people write and contribute here. Before he passed away, Erick didn't really spend a ton of time writing on here, anyways.

Regarding the second, well, its the official sanctioned Wujcik-approved forum; as of now the only site on the internet that has that approval (as far as I know there was no "Zelazny-approved official forum", he passed away too long ago; and there isn't even a real company website, since Diceless By Design haven't got their act together).  It only really means something in the sense that this was the place Erick WANTED people to come to for discussion about his games.
