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.

Today is H.P. Lovecraft's birthday.  In honor of the influence his stories had on gaming, I would like to share this with all of you. 

This song appeared in Lovecraft's story "The Tomb" (1922), the well known pirate band The Musical Blades arranged it and recorded it on their 2014 album Treasures Of Old.

The narrative portion i. The middle of the song is from the poem "The Ancient Track".

Enjoy!

umm... actually no, sweety. Not a happy birthday to this white supremacist racist bigot. His books are totally eurocentric, there aren't enough POC and don't even pass the bechdel test. Besides, they don't include trigger warnings for the astraphobic or thalassophobic.


Jokes aside, one hell of an author. And congratulations to the Chaosium team (Sandy Petersen and co) for breathing new life into his work. They truly revolutionized horror and roleplaying. With strange aeons, even the dead may live.

You mean newenglandcentric. Those Europeans are some foreign savages after all.
