After years of passionate effort, our world is so well developed, so detailed, so refined that any of the handbooks, maps, historical accounts, legends, descriptions of artifacts, creature reports, character biographies, short stories, novels, movies and original art which populate these forums can surely serve as resources or inspiration for your own fantasy endeavors, whatever they may be. And our world is endlessly evolving, so resources are frequently added and updated.
There are also years of sage advice and commentary on role-playing, gaming and online community development stored in these forums. If camaraderie is what you seek, we offer that too.

The only thing I miss is the ease with which one could travel from Hlint to Port Hampshire. The undead were too often farmed for XP, but now I think things have gone the other way; you have to sneak along the treeline if you want to get to Fort Hope without dying. And I like Fort Hope.

The problem with the Broken Bank as I have heard it refered to is just that.
Way too easy to kill the undead and get lots of Gold.
Just think what people would horde from there now if it was still in with the new drops.
I think It was a good move by the DM team.

Those assassain vines don't seem clean to me. Downright dirty fighting, farming adventurers at the transition points. Willy saw Celgar and his Mithral Golem get stomped there... | | | | |

Until that time, Bards are likely to have some legend or rumor of the forest in all its incarnations. It’s a story worth an hour or two.

yes it is I have heard it told by Ozy.
//By the way if the creatures in the Broken now are so deadly why do they have such low ratings?

Or just the Dead Forest. Those vines... Save DC that's up there against DEATH. Never trust the CR, because abilities make everything different.
But yeah, I miss the old Broken, too, though honestly I had to sneak around the very same edge back when there were only zombies.

If I'm not mistaken, there was a CDQ that was going to address (as in attempt to cleanse... I think?) the old Broken Forest. However the GM had to step down and the CDQ just died off after one session. The pieces of seven just sparked something though, that perhaps the CDQ was going to go along those original lines of the Milo series? I am really reaching here, for that one session was nearly 6 months ago at least. I know the person who was the focus of that CDQ wouldn't mind picking it back up, however I have no idea how it would progress now that the BF is changed to its current form. | | | | |

Heh! The last Broken Forest WAS the cleansed version, and it was as it was for a reason...I'm curious as to how a CDQ would have addressed a 'cleansing' of it when it wasn't just like that for giggles... maybe plot giggles, but yeah. I didn't see how it was before Tribs and company cleansed it, but I bet its a personal thorn in her side that Selian had to blow it up...and that it can all be waved better with some magic seeds  "Augh, why didn't we do that the FIRST time, then?"

Give Turor a sturdy axe and about a month, and we'll have the 'Broken Plains' to worry about... ^.^
