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.

D&D- any use for haste outside B/X, BECMI, 3.X?

Polymorph was a great insta-kill spell in AD&D.

Ha! So true. And remember Find Familiar in AD&D? A useful spell, but really you had to be cautious. At higher level it slipped into play better, like other spells like Gaze Reflection, but at low levels you can get in serious trouble or die if you are incautious with your Familiar. Nowadays in 5e that single spell can seem to solo the majority of an adventure's exploration so the party can finally pop in and nova the end scene. Not my style of fun, I prefer the tension.

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.
