General RPG DiscussionDiscussion of all RPGs and non-system-specific topics. DM/GM/player issues, settings, etc. Rules discussion belongs in one the forums below.
I used the download thread feature instead. Bookmarks are better, but for some reason some threads "vanish" from the bookmark - when you attempt to get the thread again through the bookmark, it's another thread! I think the recent boards problem is the culprit.

I've been working my way through the threads in this list. But the site redesign seems to have broken all the links, which is a tragedy. I don't spend much time here -- does anyone know an easy workaround that would let me see the old threads?
Unbelievable -- you just keep on giving. Was that a lot of work? It might be handy to know the method used if I run into other broken links.
I have been reading all this stuff as a player and it's gotten me so excited about DMing that my group is letting me take over. My first session is on Thursday.
Cool. It was a lot of little bits of work over a lot of little bits of time. I think most links from the various incarnations of the boards can be adjusted by either adding /forum/ in the middle or changing /forums/ to /forum/ Glad to see this thread is still getting some use.
Thanks again. I have used the trick of changing /messageboard to /forum three times already in threads people linked to. Now how do you fix links like the one to Jamie Buck's NPC generator at http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/news/...=NPC_Generator ? The board thinks that link is "from the future." I wonder if they know that their upgrade broke all kinds of old links?
I think it is about time to go through the General forum for the last couple of years and locate threads (edition-independent, as much as possible, please) that would do well to be added to this archival thread for DMs. Please do assist me in this, especially if you are or have found this thread useful. Thanks!
The easiest thing I can do is go through my subscribed threads in my profile and pick out my favorites. That's why most of these threads have me posting in them.
Anyone else contributing, note that you can just copy and paste the URL in your address bar and the board will convert it to a thread title. Using the "Linkback" button gives you the exact same URL, so why bother.
I read huge chunks of your list when I discovered Enworld and found it very helpful, so I hope someone else likes some of these.
I could also go through my D&D notes text file and search for Enworld links, but some of those might be duplicates.
Thanks! You rock!
I think what I will do is go through some more pages, too, and add to what you have, then copy the text version of the titles into word (just to alphabetize to check for duplicates), then create a new section in the first post so that we can highlight all the more recent threads we are adding.
As said above, just copy and paste the url into your post and the board software will add its thread title for you. So much easier than when this thread was begun.
