I do thank you for being willing to purchase the adventure released today, as a lot of imagination and effort went into it, and I think you'll find it enjoyable.
I'll be posting extra material here in the near future, with suitable spoiler warnings if needed.
Mild grumble on my side, one of the earlier signs that GR had given up on the forums is that we didn't get notices that these new adventures were coming out. I'm guessing they expect people to be seeing it on Facebook and Discord...

I get that the forum software is leaky as a sieve. I appreciated Steve's words yesterday about how he fought to keep the forums running because of his own nostalgia over them. I do hope that a static copy is made available for download at some time. Heck, if bandwidth is an issue, I might be able to pull some strings at work to get cloud storage.

I'm gonna miss the official forums. They never really recovered from the shift over to being RoninArmy, with the heights of the Atomic Think Tank days being a distant memory for a long time now, but I still have fondness for the old Roll Call stuff.
That's good to know. Most of what I haven't grabbed was on the original forums anyway.

The most annoying thing to me is now there isn't even unofficial ERRATA for any M&M product. Does anyone have copies of the ERRATA threads from the forums?

Oof, I'd forgotten about how much I relied on those when I first started.

Even if Green Ronin stopped responding to them, or using them to fix items before the print run (and yes, I know that fixing some of those things was potentially very expensive if it changed the layout, even for a PDF), it was nice that other people had your back. If you ran into a number that didn't make sense, or the math seemed wrong, you could check.

Blah, I've been stalling on moving over my 2e builds to here, but I guess they are gone now. Its not the loss of the stats so much as the backstories and intangibles that I draw on for inspiration when writing.

I never had a builds thread, but I did have my old art thread there. I have it all on drive, but it does make me sad to know it's gone.

I'm glad I moved my stuff here. I mean, at least the stuff I really cared about, like the conversion threads.

I keep reflexively typing in the URL to find new updates... I kind of wish they'd just route it to the Green Ronin site instead of serving a 404.

Well, all I can say is a heartfelt THANK YOU! and virtual hug to Ares for setting up this site for us. It proved to be a wise move with hindsight. ^_^

Though I haven't posted things in some time I still like reading my posts and others from way back. So many great posters and so much information provided on a wealth of characters and topics. I am thankful we have this forum though.
