She lights up a candle for hope to be found

Hey all, sorry for the site’s downtime yesterday. It’s fixed now.
There’s something I’ve noticed… It started off when I was looking at Sahuagin in the Monster Manual.
The Sahuagins’ “thing” is that they’re like sharks, and they go into a frenzy when their target is bloodied (or maybe when they’re bloodied, I forget). So to represent this frenzy, they get a bonus to attack and damage.

I’ve used WotC’s ability score calculator several times. It’s handy, but kind of annoying in how much it holds your hand…
So I went and made my own. It’s not quite as user-friendly, but it should be easy enough to use, and it lets you play around a lot more. E.g. you can easily change your [...]

Also, we need a logo for The Open Archive! Something to brand it. If [...]

I’ve got a very simple forum set up [...]
I’ve put up a survey on Survey Monkey (I’ve been neglecting upgrading WordPress for a while, and wasn’t able to find a polling plugin which worked with my version).
Take the survey to help name the project!
First of all, still looking for name suggestions. Just toss out anything, even if you think it’s stupid, no limit to how many ideas you can give. Post suggestions at this post.
I’m going to stop accepting suggestions some time later tonight, probably around 9:30 or 10 PM EST. Then I’m going to put up a [...]
