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.

As far as prices go, GURPS WWII has some stuff, and there's always Sears catalogs available online.  What about other prices, cultural stuff, etc?  Are there any RPG books you guys know of that give a good rundown of the 40s for GMs?
Even the the "cutting edge" storygamers for all their talk of narrative, plot, and drama are fucking obsessed with the god damned rules they use. - Estar

Indiana Jones movies taught me all I need to know about the 40s.  :)

Yes, Mean Streets is very, very highly recommended.  Particularly for anything to do with New York, organized crime, or both.

I was going to mention Mean Streets, but two people already beat me to it.

There's also a supplement for it (or any other game that uses the GDi rules), titled Home Front, set in WWII England. Haven't checked that out, but read good things about it.
