It's on another game thread, too:
http://gamersplane.com/forums/thread/1233/?view=lastPost#lastPost

Main forum seems to indicate that there are actual posts beyond the point where the error occurs, but they don't show up.

Also getting the same error or similar.

Affected games (besides those already mentioned):
Octagon - Another Purpose
Strange Allies - Skyrealms of Jorune
Talos - Darkness Rising
Orphans of Waterdeep
Out of the Abyss

Edit: Seeing it on both my phone and my laptop.

I'm actually seeing a similar error on the game, though not the same one. This never came up in local testing and I can't replicate it locally, so this is giving me some trouble to figure out...

On the same thread as I linked (http://gamersplane.com/forums/thread/1233/?page=6) I am now seeing the character sheet entry instead of avatar/player-and-post.

Edit: did a refresh and it disappeared, but still seeing the sql errors at the bottom.

Just additional confirmation: this is appearing on many game threads I view, but not all of them. It is also appearing consistently across various browsers. I'm also seeing different messages displayed across different threads.

In this thread: Dead End Job, Chapter Two, I'm seeing the error at the tail end of the posts, and nothing else wonky.

But in this thread: Temple of Elemental Evil, I'm not seeing the error at the tail end of the posts, but I am seeing "boolean false" in between each post.

I'm also seeing changing behavior over time, where in some threads I saw some posts and then the error message, I now see no posts and only the error message (such as here: Dungeon Busters Against the Cult of the Reptile God).

This suggests to me something variable that's causing the problem, like a resource issue. So I will stop banging on the site and just check back here occasionally, so I don't add to the problem.

Ok, as far as I can see, its fixed.

spaceseeker, you're not insane. I couldn't replicate the problem locally, so I had to commit the ultimate sin: testing on the live site...
