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.

My Kickstarter for ZWEIHÄNDER Grim & Perilous RPG is funded!

I have to brag a bit, because I've been talking ZWEIHÄNDER over here for so long, I thought you may be interested in hearing about some of the success we've seen.

I really didn't expect it, but we reached our $7,100 goal in less than 6 hours yesterday. We officially breached our $11k stretch goal at midnight (in a record 14 hour timespan). Additionally, we were the 10th most popular Game in the US on Kickstarter yesterday, right next to Walking Dead and Evil Dead boardgames!

Finally, we were selected by Kickstarter as a Project We Love.

So excited over the outpouring of support from everyone.
No thanks.

Any chance you will add more tiers / add more duplicate tiers?

We are indeed looking at that now. I am getting back with my partner to see what we can do.

What Tier was of interest to you specifically?
No thanks.

You had 10 hardbounds available...TEN.  From a game for people who like Warhammer.

Not special Virginskin Leather and Dragonscale cover w/ pages of hammered brass Special Limited Collector Editions Signed by Khorne...just ten normal hardbounds.

Are you out of your mind? :D

Set up a Tier that's the hardcover plus the other pdf stuff, no celebrity designer GM's needed.

Once this thing's out, get it up on OBS with PoD options for soft and hardcover.

Ok, it's in the KS text, down in the main column, like 5 pages down, still bad on me.  But, where it hasn't been changed is in the actual Backer Levels where you select the level you're backing.

You know, people keep comparing non-TSR D&D to deck-building in Magic: the Gathering. But maybe it\'s more like Katamari Damacy. You keep sticking shit on your characters until they are big enough to be a star.

Can't change backer levels once they've been backed. :(
No thanks.

Yeah, I remember someone else running into that now that you mentioned it.  Maybe toss the hardbound thing up higher, like the second sentence :D  I'll be the first one to call myself a dumbass for not reading the whole thing, but to be fair, those full-blown multi-page descriptions tend not to be read in their entirety.  You have it in the updates, which is good, and now that I've read the whole text, it's in their twice, in description and stretch goals (which almost always gets read) but when the details of the actual backing levels have changed, best to get that up high, large and in charge, so everyone knows they're getting more than what the backer levels say they're getting.

You can introduce a new backer level, at the same cost, with better explanation.
