Evilhalfling: Is the quote in your sig from the original novella? Because that's the only one I haven't read at least 20 times.

I'd say the best way to stay off of railroading PC's (aside from having a flexible stories) is to highly develop your NPCs. Know them and their history, that way you can adopt the NPC's character and from there determine how said NPC woudl react to any situation (old actors trick, sometimes it really helps being an actor when playing D&D)

Alright everyone, I edited my sig and put in a few of my favorite links. Check them out for a few laughs. All your base are belong to us!
P.S. @CE If I recall, I found the 8bitdnd animation in your sig at the WotC boards.

There has been some trouble do to some coding going on here at the boards. It has been widely discussed in Meta. I would explain it if I understood it.
I would try:
1. A new screen setting using the drop down menu at the bottom of the page on the left. I've read about a number of posters having issues with various screen settings.
2. Contact the Administrators via the Meta forum. The administrators are working overtime right now on a lot of bugs.
I'll keep my eyes open for anything else...

Code upgrades to close a huge security hole. But that means apply code that might conflict with custom code mods for EN World. It is a bit annoying with the timing. Michael Morris is spending a lot of energy getting ready for the board upgrade already. Still, security holes need to be closed, so it is minor pain that is far better than the alternative of a worm forcing a data restore of the site.

Thanks for breaking it all down. Now I get it.
And Michael Morris seems to be all over the place keeping this place running. Big time kudos to him! A board this size has to be a nightmare to maintain...
If I meet him some day, I'm definitely buying him a drink

Just a quick (unofficial) breakdown of who's important.
Michael handles the codebase. So, he has limited Admin powers to apply software upgrades/patches. He also designs all the cool styles for us and twaeks new features into the code. He has also done a lot of work on WotC's boards.
Morrus, of course, is the site owner. He is the ultimate decision maker and is the person responsible for the bills etc.
Piratecat and Henry have the official Admin hats. They obviously do a lot of moderating, but they also handle the administrative stuff like coordinating the hardware upgrade and generally being responsible. They do a lot to help Morrus.
Darkness, Eridanis, Dinkledog, Hypersmurf, Nemmerle, Pielorinho, and Plane Sailing are the Moderators. All of these folk help moderate things to keep EN World civil and smooth.
We have a great group of Moderators/Admins and they do a good job of reminding us not to get out of hand.
For the official info, check out the Meta Forum that Nighcloak mentioned earlier. There is also a thread on how to Contact a Moderator if you need it.

Ah back, Just started BG1 and its sucking up my time (Just escaped from candlekeep.. Evoker, tell me what to do now!).
I would like to say welcome to all the newcomers... welcome.... and say that I knew 3.0 for about a week until my uncle showed me his books, 2E, and was floored, "My god those are old!" It was to my suprise when I found out there was something older than that! I have never even seen a first version book!
Has any progress been made on the campaign and what about this seperate forum thingy, can someone explain that one?
And I must agree with the Angel of Stone, these mods are superior. (Curse you Big Sister, CURSE YOU!)
