Just bookmarked it!

Question:
How do you join the Knights & Knaves forum?
I can't figure out how to register.
I've even e-mailed them.

Anyway, your site will help a lot.

Thanks Robert!

That's a great collection of links. I had fun today searching through them.

Thanks for the compliment folks.

I need to add Dark Dungeons which is a clone of the Rule Compendium of D&D.

Any suggestions for a good, old-school play-by-forum site?

thanks

You can't. I can't. No one can. Its a secret club operating out in the open that is virtually impossible to join without some payola involved! lol
I gave up trying, and told them I withdraw my application.

I joined about 3 months ago, but the last month or so, the site has gone up the left, seemingly as a result of some maintenance work.

Okay, then. Sounds way too painful to even try.

Yeah, it does appear broken right now. I just logged out and then checked the front page again. Its only got the log on option, not register.

It does appear to have been under repair for some weeks now.

I joined ages ago but I can't remember my password and the email address on the account is an old one that I no longer have access to. I emailed the forum admin but never got a response.

They moved to here:

http://knights-n-knaves.com/

Try and contact admin again. The site is running just fine from my vantage point.

And I could've bought these damn modules off the 1$ rack!!!

Not quite true, Thork---and it's not you either: the admin team is basically down to one technical person, and he has been swamped with RL issues. And, as ashmire said, the site was also recently upgraded, so all of the little bugs, bells, and whistles aren't back in place yet.

All of the requests for access are logged and in queue, so once the registration problem is fixed, new account set up should be quick. I don't, however, have an ETA for when the registration problem will be fixed, unfortunately. I'll also post something on the moderator boards to see if we can move the process along.

Thanks, Allan.
It does seem like the kind of forum I'd really enjoy!

Tying in with OSRIC, is Fight On! only available from Lulu, as it looks to be worth picking up in an old school style..?

Yes, FO! is only published via Lulu POD (and in case you're curious, Knockspell is offset printed).

Forgive my ignorance, but I can't find Knockspell located in Lulu anywhere. Keep getting this message whenever trying to add a copy to my cart..
