At Large In the Guild
- WOTM Guidelines #3 is up and this month's theme is Superheroes. For more information on WOTM and how to enter, check out the Writer of the Month Introduction Thread

New Guild Features
- The Guild has a Subreddit courtesy of MrShoe. It's something to perhaps bookmark, along with our Facebook page and the link to the Chat (on IRC) in the event of the Guild going down for more than a few days. All of these are good ways to get the news if the site were to suddenly go down for some reason.

Adventure Comics by ShonHarris
Back by popular demand, comics. We are accepting submissions -- click the hider to see details below.


In Their Words: QueenRaidne
Guild user and RP GM QueenRaidne talks about the various uses of Internet Relay Chat (IRC), one of the internet's oldest realtime chat formats, for the purposes of helping groups of roleplayers chat, but also for the purpose of actually roleplaying.


The Conversation: Getting an RP off the ground.
Krodin329 asks for community input on how to draw attention to a new roleplay.

Up and Coming
Interest checks are often the first stage in recruiting players for an RP, and a really good one can net you a lot of applicants. These are some of the interest checks that caught our attention recently. Best of all, they're looking for players!


Current and Cool
Roleplays on this list have already started (but may still be recruiting, please consult the GM) and also caught our attention; the hard work the GM and players put in to setting up the RP, writing their sheets and hashing out the details have paid off and now they're writing their in-character (IC) posts.


On Display
- Art: Taking Graphic Requests :DKate is looking to expand her portfolio and is taking requests from members, in her words, “...for free.”
- Writing: Dark Origins - The Life and Times of Alec Demonbane - Deamonbane first appeared on our radar back in early March for their riveting story about Kelor, a young Storyteller with the ability to actually not just to hear a story, but to live it. If you haven't started reading the 'Dark Origins' now is a great time to start!

About RPGN
RPGN is produced by a volunteer staff of WWII movie extras with the goal of bringing Guild members current and useful information about goings-on in our community. We are always accepting suggestions on categories and content. We're particularly interested in displaying people's artwork as a banner (and will fully credit it and link your gallery -- woo). For more information, feel free to PM RPGN.

I upgraded the server and hopefully addressed the Guild's intermittent downtime and sluggishness.

Your excellent Mahz, thanks for sorting it out, hopefully that'll be the end of that problem, do still wonder why that happened though, curious mostly because I do like any computer related thing lol

Also Mahz if you don't mind me asking when will we be receiving a report button? I really don't like putting personal dramas out in the open on a help form rather than just reporting said person.

It was a server issue.

Basically, whenever the site got too much activity, the server couldn't handle it, fried itself and made the site inactive as you saw. (Which means refreshing only makes it worse, which surely didn't help the downtime as lots of people were probably refreshing while they waited for it to come back.) Really it could happen to any site, and if it doesn't happen, well, that just means that whoever owns the site has made sure it has a strong enough server to handle whatever amount of traffic it usually gets.

This is also the logic behind DDOS attacks, which flood a site's servers in order to force it offline.
