I just created a group called World of Mystara. Just trying out the new functions. Feel free to join it

Done. BTW, it seems this time WotC did a better job with the new community website -- no forum disappearances, and a usable website.

Cool, we have three members now!


 


Good point GP, this is way better than their last attempt at changing this place. My only "problem" with this site right now is that it seems so big and that every subforum pretty much seems to disappear in the ocean of forums..

I signed up, too.


I've been back to Wizards' forums just a handful of times since they yanked OOP pdf sales, but I had to come see for myself what the new site was all about.  Yes, it is a little hard to navigate initially, but the potential is there.  I do like that I could upload my own avatar image; couldn't do that on the old forums.  We'll just have to see how things progress....

Youre right, there are some interesting features to explore here. And as you say, lets see how things develop.


 


I wonder if there is any chance to get WotC to bring back the pdfs? That would be a big benefit to the Mystara community

I would definitely be in the market to buy some OOP pdfs.

We'll I've updated my account here and joined the World of Mystara Group.  I can't say I really like the change to the place.  To the extent that I prefer a gamer forum to be a forum and not Facebook, I think the new version loses a bit. 


I will be loading up GazF covers momentarily to either the group or my profile page.

Cmdr: I hope they do something about those pdfs eventually. It makes no sense to prevent people from legally downloading (buying) those books.

Seems to me the problem is that the site is so big, it is hard to stumble upon things you might be interested in unless you are actively looking for it. Having the chance of creating blogs and forums within groups means alot of discussions will only be read by a handful of people.


Ofcourse, the whole system is set up so that whatever WotC wants people to notice will completely overshadow everything else.

Thanks for uploading those. I thought we might write some short "reviews" of each series, providing links to Pandius and the Piazza so that they can be enjoyed by more Mystara fans.
