Oh My God, I Missed the Boat

[Nytmare]

So I was neck deep with work from pretty much the beginning of last summer straight through till mid November. As such, I totally missed any mention of the WOTC boards going down.

Does anyone have any tricks up their sleeves as to how to best go about scouring the internet (or more likely the Wayback Machine) to try and find an old (old) WOTC thread?

 

[MwaO]

Is there something specific you were looking for? A lot of the 3e/4e major threads got moved over to here.

 

[Nytmare]

It was an old, off the beaten path, misc topic. The first limerick thread.

 

[MwaO]

If you remember the title, google or Wayback machine might be helpful

 

[Nytmare]

Yeah, I haven't been able to find it yet.

Guess I'm in the same situation as you are

It seems the huge Forgotten Realms NPC's thread disappeared into oblivion before I had time to do anything about it

Sadly no, it was a very long list of homebrewed statblocks of 2nd and 3rd edition NPC's.
