Welcome to the new digs folks :shock:

Here's a place to say hello, and banter while we wait to see who's eager to continue the game...

You may be wondering "Why am I here?"

There are a few reasons reasons why I decided to move Hinterlands, including:

1) I'm an admin here which will enable me to do more with the forum itself,
2) The recent Proboards update broke our EditGrid integration (which is fixed here),
3) The Proboards terms of service are pretty restrictive for content authors, like us.

As well as all that I've been wanting to breath life into my ImmersiveInk site forever, but I haven't been able to find time to keep up with Hinterlands and do that too. The best answer seems to be for me to bring the two together and do them both at once.

We'll see how that goes...

Desmond/Mondes is (are?) here! Figured I'd keep my user name the same to avoid any confusion...

Right off the bat, I really like the colour scheme, WOTE. It is easy on the eyes. This forum also seems to have more forum features like we have on the Unseen Servant. Oh, that's why; it's phpBB, so it is the same base forum software.

But the forum looks like it is missing something... oh, a title bar? Something that tells you where you are (without having to look at the address bar)?

Hey guys, sulldawga here. Figured I'd grab sully as a username since I was pretty sure no one got there first on these boards!

Good to see all of Ways' games here. I can always hope to see Moria start up again at some point in the future, right?

Ways, good luck with the Immersive Ink stuff. Looking forward to you publishing content soon so I can give you some money!

WOTE, having trouble finding Desmond's full final character sheet. Do we want to maybe repost our finalized character sheets from the ODD74 forum under the Present Company Again thread? Now that you're Admin, it should be easy to remove thread detritus if someone posts something in there that shouldn't be.

I don't know how to link to a post yet :) haha. Which is funny if you think about it.

ADDED: Got it [on the right side by the date you can click on to see the post id alone.

Welcome Ehiker, Sully, Verhaden. Great to see you :)

Hopefully we'll see a few more players soon...

I've updated your character sheets in The Cast thread so that the forum knows that you posted them (and you can edit them).

There is a lot of clutter in The Cast thread, so I've decided to create a PCs subforum, with one thread per PC. That will at least make the PC sheets easier to find!

Yes, I noticed that too. It looks to be an issue with the style/theme, seeing that other style/themes display the forum title happily. I'll look into it, but it isn't going to hold us back in the meanwhile.
