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.

When the serial killer collects his bodies into a cadaver pyramid, that's when you know you're dealing with someone who cares about his work.

I seriously creeped out my players when they found out the pyramids were hollow, and that there was an equivalent sized space in the ground below the pyramid :)

Jerry is trying to raise money via KS for two Free RPG Day quickstart products for Atlantis and Hellas.

Of particular note is the sweet Atlantis GM mat that he is doing exclusive to this KS.

Also, two more actual play reports on my campaign:

Quote from: Session 3.3The PCs did not trust Leviathan nor his quest to slay Dazan Drune. However, they distrusted Dazan Drune more. That night, one of the sailors was attacked by strange dark dwellers and dragged into a cave. Baram found that the sailor had been changed such that he was allergic to light. In the morning, Stelaro dealt with a mutiny by sending the five most mutinous sailors to look for Leviathan's boat, hoping they would die on the island. The PCs then went into the cave and travelled deep under the island. They entered a cave system in which the dark dwellers lived. The dark dwellers proved to be shipwrecked sailors, made allergic to light by Dazan forcing them to be his slaves. They had recently rebelled from Dazan and sought refuge in the caves. The PCs also found a baby dragon's egg, which the dark dwellers had stolen from Dazan Drune.

Quote from: Session 3.4The dark walkers proved openly hostile toward Achindra after he had used magic, but the PCs convinced them to take them to Dazan Drune using a secret tunnel. The PCs discovered that the rats they had seen earlier were sentient and also servants of Dazan Drune. The rats seemed less hostile toward Dazan Drune than the dark walkers explaining that the sorcerer's melancholy was brought about by the leaving of his daughter, Rosa, who was also the Pale Lady that the PCs had heard haunting the walls of Targrim. As the PCs were led to Dazan, the dark walkers tried to kill Achindra by setting a chimera on him. After the chimera was defeated, the PCs ventured into the tower and confronted Dazan Drune, only to find him a sad, lonely old man. As they convinced Dazan to take them all to Targrim, Leviathan attacked, professing his undying love for Rosa. The PCs defeated Leviathan and his body fell from the top of the tower as mist rolled in from all around.
