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.

The revision for Spellbound Kingdoms is done! The game is available here at DTRPG, and the official site is Spellbound Kingdoms.

Spellbound Kingdoms is a fantasy RPG featuring zeppelins, courtesans, feral children, alchemy, sorcery, engineering, politics, dragons, and slavering undead. The default setting is oppressive Renaissance, along the lines of Three Musketeers meets Brave New World.

SK supports play with:

* Fast, tactical combat
* Dozens of combat and magic styles and schools
* Storytelling support
* Social encounters where relationships, fashion, reputations, True Love and more are all important.
* War and mass combat rules
* Rules for tracking a region's culture and economy - and these rules have direct impact on PCs and NPCs
* Equipment that isn't just twelve swords and twenty-four polearms. There are dozens of alchemical, engineering, and fashion items; buildings, castles, and fortifications; wonders of the world; troops, beasts, and vehicles.
* Organizations and guilds
* GM tips for designing your own combat styles, spell schools, campaigns, and more

Overall, the rules actually support the play-style that the game claims to support. When I say combat is fast, I mean it makes Savage Worlds look like Oblivion running on a Vic 20. When the game says that love and fear are the most powerful forces in the world, it means it. I think it's the most coherent, fastest, and most fun to play fantasy RPG on the market.

So come on over and check out the Kingdoms!
