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.

Thank you for your interest! :D  The book will be available after its launch at NTX, so you'll have to wait to order until then, since we'll be taking delivery of the books at the convention.  I'll post details again when we're back from the show and the book is generally available.

Black Blade Publishing received shipping confirmation from our printer for _Tales of Peril_, and it will arrive at the North Texas RPG Con the day before the convention opens!  =)

We'll post when the book is available for sale after we return from the NTX RPG Con (1-4 June).  So, Jon or I will make an announcement through the usual social media channels sometime after 6 June, or so, as to when the book will be available to purchase to non-NTX attendees.
