"Silly economics of DnD"
http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3848&perpage=40&pagenumber=1

Col_Pladoh: "It is really my fault... The original systems in D&D and AD&D were developed for the PC adventurer, done without reference to the economics of the various societies."

Also contains a lot of references to historical pricelists, KarinsDad's excellent suggestion to multiply all wages by 5, and much, much more...

The sad irony is that no one actully writes him any, but the discusion of planning vs. "winging it" is insightful

It was tough to choose only one of Crothian's Shark-World Ultimate Sea Monster threads, I went with this one because it was an early one and it had more replies than the others.

Up with Halflings!

The most read thread on the Rogues Gallery Board, and possibly the ultimate undead thread.

Yes I'm sugesting my own thread. It is actually a condensed version of what I was able to save from the old boards, plus the occaisional addition.

Re: Re: Re: Re: 2 Suggestions

*nods* Me, I've already offered to help. *points up* And culling threads sounds good to me, too...

Great! Keep 'em coming. Darkness, I'd love help. Probably the best thing to do is (1) cull threads, (2) copy into the archive, (3) edit the above list by turning the descriptive sentence red when done. That way we won't duplicate work. Thanks!

Make sure you only copy when the boards are slow, and Make a full copy instead of a move or a move-and-redirect.

By the way, guys, we may archive the bumpathon thread - but we'll have to cull it of useless posts first.

I started it, but there is some really good material by people like tleikaxu on this thread that deserves archiving:

Of course, someone has to bring up the IC threads...

There are many threads in the IC forum that pertain to many of the games going on there. While there are several games that have died, many of the ones that have started there are yet going, and losing older threads would be a bad thing for them.

Of course, I would at least like for all the threads from the Psionicle to be saved ...

The Psionicle

Part III
Part IV
Part V
Part VI
OoC Thread I

Academy of Drell

Edit - darn it, someone already brought up the IC forum... that's what I get for posting before reading thru all the posts...
