For discussing OD&D rules, games, settings and products there's:
Men & Magic
Monsters & Treasure
The Underworld & Wilderness Adventures
Third Party OD&D Products
Other OD&D Topics
OD&D Workshop
Philosophy and OD&D
Dave Arneson's Blackmoor
Judges Guild and the Wilderlands
Links and Resources
Around the Campfire
and two of those boards themselves have sub-boards!
This might be a little confusing or intimidating to some people.
My suggestion is that all of these seperate boards should be combined into one single OD&D board. And that the Swords & Wizardry board and Holmes Basic board should also be combined into this board, since they are both basically OD&D. Then I would just have to look at one board to see all the OD&D posts!

I like it the way it is, personally. I don't have to dig through a thousand threads on one board to find something about character classes--I go to Men & Magic. I don't have to dig through a million threads on character classes to find something rules-related. I go to Underworld & Wilderness Adventure. If I want to read about someone's home game, Around the Campfire it is.
It's organized and easy.

I like the current scheme of organization.

I like it too. My main problem currently is the number of 'recent messages'. When I read my odd74 on the morning, ater the onlien paper (and sometime before), I msut make a search on the last 70 results to see the night messages (which are US evening I guess...). So, 10 messages is nor more enough.

I just toggled a setting so it should display the most recent 25 messages. Hopefully I'll get some feedback as to whether this is a welcome change or not. As far as the boards go, I like some measure of organization rather than a pile of all threads jumbled together. That's part of why I picked a ProBoards forum instead of a Yahoo group. |

Agreed, Marv, and anyone who is an OD&D player knows exactly what it means when they see "Men & Magic," "Monsters & Treasure," and "Underworld & Wilderness Adventures."

Haven't taken advantage of it yet, but changing the count on most recent is mui excellent! Considering the amount of PBP going on right now (not doggin' PBP) the top 10 gets pretty dominated by that stuff.

I can't find a link or button that lists most recent unread messages. Is this the "New" icons I see next to threads, or am I being computarded? |
