I can see why there would be a Judges Guild forum here in the Acaeum, but why a Planescape forum before a Mystara, Greyhawk, FR, or for that matter, any-other-setting-pre-Planescape forum?

I'm just curious as to the reason why. Because fans of Planescape are collecting more than others? Or is there any other reason?

PS: I like Planescape. I'm just wondering why there isn't any other setting-related forum around here.

Quite simply it is because so far only 2 people have agreed to take on the task of setting up and moderating the sub-forums for PS and JG.  Foulfoot, the Acaeum admisitrator is soley responsible for the 4 main forums an has left an open invite to anyone who would like to do a sub-forum and page to volunteer. For reference, check out The Acaeum Distributed Computing Project forum, as it explains this in full:

I am sure that if you are someone you know is
interested in setting up a subsite & forum Foul would be quite happy to oblige. Also, which ever format you would choose to do, I am sure others here would be happy to help as much as possible with getting scans, printing info, etc.

The subwebs are here because someone has both the time and dedication to build their own forum, and at the moment only Planescape and Judges Guild have had champions step forward to prove themselves. Both are doing well on account of the hard work of a few dedicated moderators and contributors, and I take my hat off to them.

The last thing we want here (IMHO) is a dead subweb or two. I doubt there are many who would champion Mystra or Hollow World as warranting their won forum, let alone be willing to run the forum and take responsibility for its success. I can see there are those among us who would welcome a Greyhawk forum, but those who could run it to its best ability are probably overly busy with life and work as it is.

Personally, I would like to see a non-TSR xD&D forum and valuation board, an Afterglo forum as it were. And possibly a Fanzine forum, 'Beasties Basement' , but I have neither the time nor the expertise to see this happen. I'm just happy for what we already have.

For those of you interested, I will be starting two new subwebs next month.  The first is for all you die-hard Birthright fans.  We will be discussing at length the devastation of the War of Shadows and the betrayal of the elves and Azrai's deception.  The other long-awaited subweb will be for the exciting and extremely rare Adventures of Indiana Jones game.  I will have a special section that covers prices of such rare and highly sought after items such as IJ5 Nepal Nightmare and IJ3 Crystal Death.  Looking forward to seeing all of you there!  :P

Can anyone tell I have nothing better to do at the moment besides make goofy crap up?  :wink:

Would that be the same War of Shadows that was still going on in Babylon 5?

Yeah, me too.  I have the box set as well.  Never played though.  I just couldnt think up anything else at the moment.  Maybe I should have said Gammarauders instead.  :twisted:
