Feel free to move it wherever it is best suited.For the past couple of years I have been working, piece by piece at producing, not only "World of Orea" setting material, but also (with the advent of 5e) an entire "WoO RPG". I had, done in Quark, layouts and everything (still changing getting tweaked and editted, but still), a PHB basically finished. A DMG that was 3/4 done. A monster manual and deities manuals that were, let's just say "started", loads of images scanned, several OSR games/free pdf's downloaded for reference and inspiration...just...LOTS and LOTS of creative work.While on a trip to San Sebastian (northern Spain/Atlantic coast) and southwestern France's atlantic coast (generally, the spanish and french parts of "Basque Country"), on the final day, our car was broken into. Along with a bunch of other stuff and my partner's computer as well, my laptop and the satchel in which I carried it everywhere, were stolen.Gone. All of it just...gone.A case for Dropbox/other files sharing programs/backing up your <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> on an outside source... I know. But eff-mee SO much fraggin' writing...that I'll be/have to write again.But I am just..."gutted" to use the UK vernacular. So much time and effort. So much I liked..and stuff I wasn't even sure about. But I was getting there...and now...there's, basically, nothing.I will be starting from complete and utter zip-zilch-nil-nada-nothing.A grand opportunity for reexamination, I know. Really looking and thinking about what was there and its value/worth in keeping as opposed to looking at the same thing over and over and changing 1 thing one day and changing it back the next. So...that's all I guess. Just feeling an internet-pity-party. It is an opportunity for "growth", I know.But DAMN it SUUUCKS!...HARRRRD!--SD</blockquote>
