If you haven't been on Gamers' Plane in a while, this may be a great time to take another look.
As some of you may know, this project has been building for over 6 years now. When I started it, my programming experience was minimal, and my knowledge of things like security were nearly nil. I've improved over the years, and by in large, updated the code for this site accordingly. However, there were a few steps I neglected to update when I went live earlier this year, and so I've finally gotten around to updating those. By in large, its piece of mind code for me, but you can also rest assured, I'm working on your information security. Because of this update, passwords had to be reset. You'll have to use the "Forgot Your Password" feature on the login page to set a new password.
Along with that, I've rewritten how the site sees users. This is in anticipation of some new features coming up, like character avatars, but also because my old code was messy. I'll probably have a number of updates centered around "Did I really code that badly x years ago?" The answer is most always yes. The big thing from this update is that there's a decent chance I broke stuff that was previously working. I did a lot of testing and searching, but because of how underlying this code is, I suspect you guys will find stuff. As always, if you do, post it in the bug forums and I'll have it fixed ASAP.
For stuff coming soon... fate dice! This'll likely be followed by the Dresden RPG. I'm also working on character avatars and how they'll be integrated into games.
