Hey, everyone! I hope that all of you have been having a happy holiday!
I've been using my time off from work to give this forum some much needed attention. I've been working on a facelift for the forum's code - I do a lot of website code for my job now and after three months of looking at beautiful websites and helping make beautiful websites, the stuff I did months ago when I redid the site now makes me go: ...Not my best work. So hopefully I can get that up and running before I have to get back to work.
But today I'm working on updating a lot of the site's important documentation in light of the theme change - it still says what it used to say back before I implemented the Arkham City plan - as well as a new set of activity rules. You can view them here. Because we're already most of the way through a month and it's the holidays, these rules will not go fully into effect until January, so no need to worry if you've been slow over the holidays - we all have.
These rules should be considered experimental at this point - GCRPG has always had the one month rule, and it's served us well, but it's also evolved over its years of existence and I believe that these new rules might serve us better. They're both nicer than our current system in some ways but harsher in others. We'll give them a try. I might hate them and go right back to the old system.
Also, especially if you're extremely familiar with the video games, you may want to take a look at the changes I made to the forum's theme page. Most of the changes to that shouldn't be news to anyone who has been on the forum for awhile, but I have spelled out more specifically how our Arkham City differs from the video game Arkham City more specifically in the spoiler there than I think I've ever done elsewhere before.
