<p>For example you main page is still showing PF1 links.

<p>I know that you lost a web master, but the web site is really a mess considering you just launched a huge new product. I guess at least the forums still work.</p>The biggest problem with your online guide is that there are no links to it from most of this website.

Most groups try to welcome new players and help new players learn as they go.
<p>But once you start making your own characters, and tracking which adventures you've played so you can advance that character, you'll have to be aware of a couple of the rules in the Guide. But again, you can easily learn as you go, and lean on the more experienced players in Society play to point you in the right direction, if you're overwhelmed by learning everything in the Guide, while also learning the new 2e rules.</p>
<p>Edit: On an unrelated note, where'd my GM stars go? I know I haven't been around much lately, but I did earn 4 of them.</p>Tiene wrote:This is oh so very complicated. I can't just show up? I guess I'll try to register, but I'll probably end up sticking to private games.

<p>• Clear versioning. If someone downloaded or printed the guide as a file I need to be able to determine if I'm looking at a current version. Given that individual pages might get updated, this needs some thought on how to version single-page/file representations.</p>
<p>• A changelog to help us see what changed during updates.</p>
<p>• A notification system that we can subscribe to so that we stay on top of updates. Maybe enable RSS on the changelog page or a mailing list you can subscribe to for updates?</p>
<p>• One clear place where we can report questions/issues, so that they don't get lost.</blockquote><p>All of these are things we are working on.
