Hey all, it's been quite a while since I posted about my campaign website template so I thought I'd try and get the word out again for anyone it may interest.
It's for the very user-friendly (not to mention FREE) Google Sites. I use it for all of my own home games and people who have used it for their own play-by-post or home games seem to have found it helpful.
I'm in the process of revising and updating the template, so if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions please don't hesitate to post them here.
Since I originally made it there have been so many improvements with Google products like Drive and Docs (and the rise of the cloud) that I know there are cool things that can be done to make it better; the more help I can get in pointing those things out the better!
The template can be accessed at: https://sites.google.com/site/pathfindertemplate/
How do I make this have 10 players?
