I've been unable to access www.rpgnow.com for about 30 minutes. Anyone know if it's down, or if maybe it's a regional connectivity issue?

It's working from my UUNET connection at my office...

It's working for me (ADSL in Italy).

Yup, I'm back in too. Must've been a temporary thing... I guess the system was overwhelmed with all the orders for our Book of Swords ;-)

Sitting here in Scotland I often wonder whether a site is really down or whether one of the many links between my computer and the site has broken.

A quick way to check (for Windows) is to press the start button, select run and type (without the quotes) "tracert www.rpgnow.com" in the run window. That'll trace the route between you and RPGnow. Each link is tested three times so you get a good idea of the average and the trace has a range of 30 nodes so it'll cover everywhere.
