SPECIAL NOTICE
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.

Dude, thanks! Are you making a document of all this?

Yeah, I have it all in a spreadsheet, though I need to go back through it and do more research on it for certain items and make sure my calculations on the currency is correct.  Still have over 20 books to go through though.

Dang, that's a lot of work.

Here is why this forum tends to be so stupid. Many people here think Joe Biden is "The Left", when he is actually Far Right and every US republican is just an idiot.

Some additional (and excellent!) resources worth checking out, from Lisa Steele:

- Town:  https://www.drivethrurpg.com/m/product/203213
- Fief:  https://www.drivethrurpg.com/m/product/203213
- Medieval France:  https://www.drivethrurpg.com/m/product/296112

The first two were reprinted by S. John Ross' Cumberland Games, and Lisa released the third after SJR folded up Cumberland.
