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.

Hello to all adventurers out there!

I am Björn - one of five guys behind Yora - Adventures and I would like to tell you today about my heart project which has turned my life and the life of my friends in the last years quite upside down.

How it starts:

We (a small group of students) came in contact with the old-fashioned theme for the first time in early 2014 through tabletop livestream sessions. We have tested a number of beginner variants, but no system really convinced us. The user comments below the tabletop streams showed us that more and more people are looking for good entry-level versions and are struggling with the same problems as us.

The adventure begins:The time has come! We said to ourselves: "Okay Guys! - we have to develop something that makes it much easier for us to get started!". The idea quickly came up: We are developing an all-in-one "tabletop" RPG App! An app that allows you to easily play an adventure without hindering the game with far too complex rules.

Preperation / Research:

We have written scientific papers (bachelor & master theses) on tabletop RPGs to focus intensively on the problem and possible solution for simplification. Over the first surveys and prototype tests we finally started to develop an app for iOS and Android called "Yora - Adventures" and now we are in the middle of the process.

Current status:

At the end of last year, we founded a small (five dudes) indie game studio / startup called Triclap based in Germany. We found our first investor who enabled us to continue the project. We do everything in our power to realize a good solution with such a small team. If you are interested and would like to have a little insight into our concept, you are welcome to watch our new game trailer that we released last week on youtube.

The release for Yora Adventures is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2019.

We are happy about any feedback because only with your criticism and your wishes we can create something that offers added value.

Thanks for your attention, we'd be happy to hear from you!

Cheers & may the dice always roll in your favor!
