I always loved giving those a read, and they seem to have dissappeared, are the permanently removed or have they been moved somewhere?

They were moved to the forums (https://forums.giantitp.com/showthread.php?172910-Articles-Previously-Appearing-on-GiantITP-com) 5 years ago.

They were? >_>

I am not that intelligent it seems, sorry for wasting your time

EDIT: Wait, I knew about those ones. I'm talking about the series where Rich talks about Homebrew Setting creation that used to be available along the sidetab. Those seemed to have poofed.

A special notice was added in the sidebar to say they had been moved, though the old links remained due to a limitation of the old CMS. The old CMS has finally been shot into a black hole on the other side of the universe, so the old links have only just been removed.

I'll check with Rich to see what happened to them or where they were moved to. They are gone from the main site.

Thank you kindly!

Looks like you can use the Wayback Machine to view them. That's probably not the solution you were looking for, but it should work in a pinch.

Thank you, didn't even cross my mind to use Wayback though it shoulda been obvious. Still curious where they went for curiosity's sake, however.

I have an official answer: The old Gaming articles which were not yet transferred will eventually return as posts in the forum, so don't panic.

Excellent! That nine-part worldbuilding series he did is what inspired me to start worldbuilding and get into D&D years ago! I'm glad they'll still be around!
