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.

A common sense approach to the supposed issues allegedly plaguing our hobby

I haven't been into RPGs for about ten years, lockdowns have drawn me back in. The last rules set I bought was the first edition of Pathfinder, which I liked since I did not want to switch to 4e DnD (common story I am sure). The politicization of the hobby is astounding to me, especially Paizo. It's disappointing and frustrating.

Quote from: Omega;1141747How much was spilt getting it back in the schools? None. But they used whatever means short of violence (that I am aware of) to get it put back and that included cult level brainwashing under the guise of "deprobramming" the poor brainwashed evolutionist. Remember that these are the same sorts who had a childrens show where they taught kids its ok to steal someones game books and destroy them.

And odds are that there has been violence and blood. Just quietly swept under the rug and hush-hush.

Not so sure you want to start implying that what some creationists do to game books, or what some atheists do to game books, are the collective guilt of all creationists or atheists respectively, chief.  The cog dis might go off the charts.  But this does encapsulate the scissors conundrum.  

Quote from: Omega;1141749Actually its more often the intensity of the opposition to these cultists is on proportion to how tired someone is of being attacked. Or having something they like attacked. Or progressively ruined.

Its more the age old factor of what happens when you attack a persons community, home, vocation, or family. Sooner or later you will trip over the threshold where they start fighting back.

This differs from what I said...how?  What makes the "actually" relevant?

Welcome aboard Cigalazade!! Glad to have you join us in the Mos Eisley of RPG scum and villainy!! Your favorite game totally sucks, unless it's also my favorite game, and in that case, you're playing it wrong!!

Start a thread about what you're currently playing or interested in playing. As you've been out of RPGing since 2010, one of the most exciting developments has been the rise of old school gaming via the OSR.

Plenty of good stuff worth playing exists (from the past and present) and thankfully, all you need is 4-5 friends at a table (real or virtual) willing to put aside personal bullshit for 4 hours a week and just enjoy the game.

Thanks for the welcome. I'm interested in Renaissance themed games, it's a nice alternative to medieval influenced stuff that is the norm for fantasy RPGs.

Even though he calls it "Medieval Authentic Fantasy," Pundit's Dark Albion is awfully late medieval and might suit you.

Seeing RPGPundit's video about that book is what drew me to join here incidentally, I plan on getting it
