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).

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.

Gambling in RPGs, huh? That's an interesting twist! I've always found it adds a layer of excitement and unpredictability to the storyline. It's like stepping into a smoky tavern in a fantasy world and seeing characters throwing dice or playing cards.

Whether it's high-stakes card games in a seedy tavern or betting on the outcome of a gladiatorial match, it can really spice up the narrative. I think what makes it engaging is the element of risk versus reward. Just like in real life, there's that rush of excitement when you're putting it all on the line, hoping for a big payoff. But it's not just about luck; it can also be a way to showcase your character's cunning or bluffing skills. I checked out that guide, and it's pretty comprehensive. Get More Info helped me understand the nuances better. It's fascinating to see how different game systems handle gambling mechanics.
