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).

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.

Quote from: Baron;651204I'm not big on Kickstarter. As they say, it's not a store; you're gambling your money.

I like to use miniatures, and I'm considering these guys:

Hmm, they say 1"=5 ft for 25mm figures.

Can you actually fit two "heroic scale" 28-30mm Games Workshop figures in a 10' hallway?
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

Yes, Sean Connery\'s thumb does indeed do megadamage. - Spinachcat

Isuldur is a badass because he stopped Sauron with a broken sword, but Iluvatar is the badass because he stopped Sauron with a hobbit. -Malleus Arianorum

"Tangency Edition" D&D would have no classes or races, but 17 genders to choose from. -TristramEvans

Quote from: Bobloblah;651359While this is technically true, I think it's a little overstated in this case. The Dwarven Forge Kickstarter, along with the likes of the Bones Kickstarter from Reaper, are really little more than a pre-order system for established companies at this point. Obviously, it's a little more than that (i.e. interest free loan repaid in product), but from a consumer perspective that's more or less it.

Also since they wanted 50 thousand and got 1.8 million, pretty sure they can fill the order. :D

Their production facilities will be swamped for the next few months I'd say. There's good money in this miniatures business!
