Just wanted to give everyone a heads up. WotC is moving and/or removing much of it's old site content in favor of D&D Next. As such many of the links you've placed in your threads (such as the oft-quoted All About Illusions articles) no longer work.

If you cherished such things as the Rules of the Game articles or many of the other great RPG tools they made, you may want to download them now, while you still can.

Luckily, I did some sleuthing and I was able to find this, a section of their site where it appears they archived much of their content. To my knowledge, this section of the site is not available from their main pages. Without the link, you can't access it.

Don't miss your opportunity.

Thanks for the heads up.

Those sneaky devils. Much obliged RD, I'll trawl through that site tomorrow and nab what's of interest to me...provided it's still there, of course.

It's entirely possible they may be available for a while yet, but since they archived them, all of the links in our old threads have been severed, and you will have to use new ones from the above link in new threads.

Still, the fact that they (insofar as I know) did this without any form of announcement does not bode well. They could just as easily and discreetly take it all down, which will be a sad day if nobody has bothered to preserve the information beforehand.

Yeah, there was a 2nd level adventure from 3.0 that came out very early on that I really loved. Was set in a northern kingdom, had orc barbarians... Doubt I'll ever see it again though.


RD, do you have any of the links to the old Star Wars Saga Edition stuff they had? Like the Dawn of Defiance adventure path and such?

You know WotC sucked me back in when they released those cool new 3.5 PHB, etc. with all the errata and stuff edited in. Yay!

But then they released the later ones with no errata and nothing other than a higher price tag. Boo!

IIRC they took the errata and other stuff down a while ago, but it was all open to everyone so someone saved it. Dawn of Defiance is also around a few places online.

Awesome, thanks! I never downloaded DoD before because I was playing in it for a while. When the game died, the links had already been taken down.

Wizard's forum software is terrible! I wanted to find some early attempts at homebrew content I wrote years ago, and I ended finding using google, instead of the website.


What a hassle to look though, man.

Happen to have a direct link for the page containing all of their free modules?

Has anyone found the page that used to have the errata for the D&D 3.5 books? I think Wizards may have taken that one down entirely.

I went to the regular WotC D&D homepage and searched for the following:

D&D: 3.5 and 3.0 errata and FAQ

It led to an archived page. The errata was available for download and I was able to download a file as a test. It wouldn't let me copy the address for a direct link oddly enough, but you can still, apparently, access it. I already downloaded all the errata I needed for the books I had. I'll probably peruse my saved files and make sure I have anything I need myself.

Good luck.

Edit: I was able to save the page as a favorite and get back to it that way. It was a customer service page btw. I searched for and accessed it from a D&D page that said "D&D has moved", I couldn't access it from the current under construction D&D page (and that could be the problem).
