    Default [Meta] An Old New World

    I haven't visited the forums much, so I actually didn't notice them going down and then back up again earlier this year. But it looks like during that change, or some time since then, the New World series of articles disappeared. Have they migrated to a thread like the Function articles before them (and it's just one I can't find)?

    I found them really useful for worldbuilding my own settings, particularly the one on geography. ("Elevation determines everything" etc.)

    A lot of people have been wondering about this.
    I know all of the old articles can still be viewed with the wayback machine.
    They are there if you want to read them.

    Only if you know the URLs. I can't find any record of those.

    If you Wayback Machine the main page, the archive links should open those links in the Wayback Machine itself.

    Oh, huh, I didn't realize that Waybacked pages sometimes have working links.

    Geography is here; the last article is here.

    No worries! I keep rediscovering that capability myself.

    And if it doesn't work from one archive, try another date. Bookmark the ones that work. Once you've got the links you want, read away. Good luck.

    I asked the same question a bit ago, as they are what inspired me to start worldbuilding and get into D&D years ago and I wanted to make sure they'll still be around.

    According to the Admin Rawhide:
    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 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.
    Currently worldbuilding Port Demesne: A Safe Harbor in a Shattered World! If you have a moment, I would love your feedback!

    Really? Where? Paging Rawhide...
