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.

Lloyd Alexander RIP

I just heard that Lloyd Alexander died on May 17th. You might not know him, but he wrote some Newberry Award winning fantasy for children. His Chronicles of Prydain were a big influence on my early 0D&D games. RIP, dude.
"Meh."

I loved his Chronicles of Prydain, especially _Taran Wanderer_.  The latter two books in the Westmark series also were memorable.  At least he left behind work for the ages.

Awwwwww, crap! The Prydain books have had a much greater influence on my D&D games than Lord of the Rings, Conan, Fafhrd and Grey Mouser, or any other fantasy novels, from the time I began playing them until even now.

I feel sad. :(
