Following the newer site's downtime and subsequent data loss, DnD will be returning to this forum.
First of all, allow me to explain that the forum originally moved because the current content is not compliant with ProBoard's Terms of Service. In short, as a free site that is accessible to anyone on the internet, including minors, explicit content of a sexual or excessively violent manner is not allowed. While DnD isn't about these things, as adults, it's within reason for us to Role-Play these situations should it benefit the story, and such content has been included in previous arcs. This content will be moved to private Google documents accessible with permission from the involved RPers or Admins. So, if you're trying to read up on the story, never fear! It's not gone, it's just hidden from innocent eyes!
This of course now means that any players wishing to undertake any RP with content that could be deemed questionable, please move the explicit and inappropriate sections to somewhere like private Google docs! I'll leave it up to player's digression what is considered explicit enough to be hidden away. Nothing here that would make your Granny blush, please! Leave a break in the forum stating that the content is inappropriate, include warnings as necessary and who to contact for assess to the document to keep up with the story, if you wish.
If you see anything a tad touchy, let me know and I'll move it. Nobody has been in trouble for this content, and it would be nice to keep it that way, so please be sensible.
Secondly, the content of the new forum was deleted by the host and is irretrievable. We have recovered data up until June of 2018, which means most of what is missing is content of the Mie Clan/Necromancer story arc.
It will take me a while to update the forum with the recovered threads, so please be patient. Any sections that are missing, I will give a brief overview of what happened. Participants, feel free to tell me if I've missed any important details.
Which brings me to my next point - what recovered posts will be reinstated onto this forum:
That should be everything!
Also a big thank-you to Twi for having the foresight to back up the forum. You're a life-saver. <3
P.S.: One this hubbub is over I will be working on new skills. I'll need PvPers to balance test them, though

Which brings me to my next point - what recovered posts will be reinstated onto this forum:
- Character re-specification, purchasing posts, etc will not be transferred. These posts exist to tell an admin what to add/remove/change on your profile. All active player profiles are up to date. For the less than active players, if there's something important you're missing, please let me know!
- All story RP posts will be reinstated. Don't worry about this, I will copy all posts over. You don't need to do anything! Post-counts from the now-gone forum will still count towards levelling up. They wont all be displayed correctly on this forum, but rest assured I have a record, and I will be giving everyone a compensatory boost as well. If you'd like to know how many posts you are from levelling, you only need to ask! (But please, wait until I've finished reinstating old posts?)
- Character Lore posts will not be reinstated unless requested. Character lore can change a lot in two years. I can replace on request or provide you with the recovered post content, but maintaining lore is up to you here. PM me or reply here if you want it to pop back up on here, but otherwise it's in the void!
That should be everything!
TL;DR:
The forum is coming back here. Please keep inappropriate or questionable content off the public boards (but still accessible for story reasons!). Updating of recovered posts is in progress. All recovered RP will be reinstated, but Character Lore is your responsibility.
