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.

Well, if Doc gives his consent, I've got a ton of medieval woodcuts screaming to be used and a week of (mostly) free time. I'll just attribute the copyright to the three of us us (alternately, we could just release it to the public domain). I guess I'll need you to PM me with your full names, though.

Hmmm...lemme think about it.  Gimmie some reasons why I shouldn't do it.

Honestly, I can't think of any past the obvious "Hargrove will swipe the property, sell it to Disney for millions, build a giant Death Ray on the moon and obliterate Key West. . . because he can" -- other than that, I agree with Ken that releasing the game output into the public domain is the way to go.

I simply thought that the resulting setting hooks (i.e., the game output) might be a handy resource for gamers who are looking for a "ground up" setting in a pinch (for one-shots, pick-up games, etc). I'd be happy to compile and host the PDFs (and, of course, all of the players as well as theRPGsite will get credited).

Honestly, I think that the Beat Generation would approve ;)

So you guys can all get together and post all sorts of awesome blindly, but none of you want to step into the building froms studies thread to share some of awesome? :(

I feel neglected and abused....;)
For you the day you found a minor error in a Post by Spike and forced him to admit it, it was the greatest day of your internet life.  For me it was... Tuesday.

For the curious: Apparently, in person, I sound exactly like the Youtube Character The Nostalgia Critic.   I have no words.

Excellent! I'll compile something this weekend and post it for feedback. Now your PM makes much more sense ;)

Sorry that I dropped the ball on the current round. I had some stuff come up that detained me unavoidably for the better part of the week. My bad.

James, Doc and KenHR, I'm taking you guys off IL. I've made six posts and and that's all I can manage. I'll look at the thread, when the game is over. Sorry guys, but I thought I could handle space opera....guess  it ain't as easy as I thought.
