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.

Thoughts on DriveThruRPG's new design?

I probably will get used to the new layout at some point but right now it feels like a jumbled mess. There's too much unnecessary white space in buttons, some sections are unnecessarily large when they only contain trivial information, and the reading area isn't centralised. I can't even stand to look at the new product pages for more than a few minutes ugh >:(

In 2 years, you'll be used to this format and complain when they change it again

Drivthru has always been a mess... They are still stuck in the early 2000s.

Yeah, not great.  Information overload and takes too long to load in fully.

Still looks the same to me. Maybe when the server I'm stored on gets migrated to the newer webapp.

There are professions called UI artist and UX designer (user experience). But they cost money to hire. It's like saying the carpenter is too expensive I'll just build the cabinets myself.

You get what you pay for.

Same.

And I'm fine with the clunky old (or new) interface, if it means lower prices.

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.
