Among other things:


  • Everybody gets their own Journal page. It's automatically set up when you register; you just have to add content. This is set up for multiple posts in reverse chronological order, blog style. This is for character journals ("blue booking"), ledgers, campaign journals, or whatever you need.

  • Making your own supplement, mod, netbook, or patch is now much easier, and it is now easier to make this a group effort. Just use the "Compendium" option. There's a lot of stuff you can do with the Compendiums. If you are worried about people's negative opinions of a rough work-in-progress, don't be. Kinslayer has been building this thing out in the open for quite some time now. Our creative processes for new supplements will also be much more transparent.

  • Similar to the Compendiums, are the Scrolls. These show little teasers of content, and are linked together like a story. Scrolls can be used rather nicely for fan-fiction, as well

  • Surveys (a.k.a. "polls") aren't just limited to registered users of the forums. You can use one for a netbook you're working on, and use the exact same one on your campaign journal. And everyone can vote.

  • Everything is syndicated. This means you can subscribe to someone's campaign journal, follow the progress of a project you're interested in, and keep track of all the new goodies being added. This is RSS, so those of us using Firefox can see new pages added right in our bookmarks (like it already does with BBC News). This can work both ways, too. If there's a site you think we should all follow, there's a sneakily hidden page just waiting to be filled with news.

  • There is also a Content Tracker so you can look at all the new content (not just forum posts) at a glance. You can also keep track of your own submitted content using the tracker.

  • And you can make static pages. These are stand-alone pages, and aren't made to be inherently linked together like Scrolls & Netbooks. These can be used for character sheets, campaign intros, or links collecting your favourite Midian content.
