First Post
After noting the thousands of hits I've gotten since september (46,000+) on my 'Waterdeep' website, I thought it was time to update it (It's still 2nd edition material)

I just want to get a feel of what you like to see in a website.

Usually, I just look whether it says "EN World" in the upper left corner of the page;)

BTW, could you post a link to your own site? I suppose it's in your sig, but they have been turned off.

I think you left off electronic tools like Generators.
Besides EN-World, the only other sites I use on a regular basis are Generator sites like Jamis Buck's and C.R.Greathouse's.
 


I like reading about both alternate rule systems/plug-ins (not new spells, classes, races or such, but rather new spellcasting rules, alternate hit point systems etc.) and I really enjoy reading about other people's homebrews.

LOL!

Yeah, that's pretty important for me, as well!

But for "official" and unofficial words, I like to see crunchy bits and maps. If I see a "map sized map" (ie a continent that mysteriously conforms to the bounderies of a standard sheet of paper) I stay away.

PS Oh, and I'd like to know people's opinions about this as well for the exact same reasons as Raflar. Only my site is homebrew and not FR - http://redqueendesign.com/surroundinglands/
 

Didn't realize the lack of 'sig'... my Waterdeep site is here: http://www.raflar.com/waterdeep/index.html

I finally have some free time coming up so I can finally give the site the attention it deserves. I haven't done anything since 3e came out.. except on my homebrew world of Tor Faerlan http://www.raflar.com but even this need some major updating... I'm just looking where to focus my site on... (I don't want to compete with ENWorld.. (why reinvent the wheel) just give the fans more of what they want... :)

OH... and <bump> cuz I can...

...ok you got maps, but can I zoom in and out of the different regions? I need spy satellite quality photos!! :) Is that a gnome thief I see pickpocketing in the marketplace?!
