Things you didn't notice were broken are fixed

If you're reading this, there's an excellent chance you weren't using this functionality, but it's good news all the same:

Forgot password form. If you forgot your password previously, you basically had to figure out my email address.
New user registration. Registration is admin-locked to limit spambottery; if you register, you need admin approval before you can post. I changed this setting in June and didn't notice that I broke user registration completely (because, guess what, I don't register for a new account very often).

Favicon is back

It's been on the blink ever since we went to HTTPS, but the favicon is finally back in operation.

All I can guess is it was cached really hard in my browser, because I have no idea how I didn't notice sooner otherwise.

Dwimmercrafty+1 very important bugfix update!

So there was a very serious bug in Dwimmercrafty, which I have just fixed. EVeryone currently using dwimmercrafty should download dwimmercrafty+1

http://rpg.hamsterrepublic.com/ohrrpgce/Downloads

The bug was deleting the On-Death-Bequest attack and the Non-Elemental-Counter attack from all enemies as soon as the game was loaded into custom.

If you never used those enemy features, then you have nothing to worry about.

If you only used them a few times, you can just re-add them with...

So apparently you can donate

Intrepid user Virtuous Sword just surprised me by doing something that I did not know was possible: becoming the first person to donate directly to the site. I have no idea how Virtuous Sword stumbled upon it -- it took me a few minutes to figure out how to generate this link, but here is the donation URL.

If you have been around long enough, then you know that I have never petitioned donations to keep the site around. The site has been...

Featured Game

Labyrinthilium by Feenicks

Almost all of demonkind has been banished to a place beyond the world.
As one of these demons, and a demon lord at that, you're none too happy about that.
...but is there even a way out? And even if there was, would you be able to conquer the myriad demons who now seek your defeat?

This is a 3D dungeon crawler in the vein of Etrian Odyssey, originally made for the HOTOHR 2016 contest.

DON'T EAT SOAP! An Educational Game Starring Bob the Hamster by Bob the Hamster

DON'T EAT SOAP
(An Educational Game Starring Bob the Hamster)

Soap is bad for you to eat. It is good for washing your hands,
but very very bad for you to put in your mouth. If soap ever
accidentally gets in your mouth, spit it out! This game is
an educational simulation using the latest in 8-bit gaming
technology so that you can experience mouth-related soap
accidents from the safety of your living-room without risk
of actual hospitalization.

Remember! This is only a game! Do not try it at home!

Newest Game

WitchX by Feenicks

A demonic castle has sprung up, and finding Verdi nor Norn around, Wyrd goes to investigate...

Features:
- Defeat enemies and awaken their spirits, bringing them onto your own side!
- Worried about getting lost? Don't! Wyrd goes through areas herself, leaving the battles and overall strategy to you!
- Look at the border around the screen! If Ys can use its fancy border as a selling point, so can I!

The current demo features 8 areas, which given how this game is structured is probably a statement of no use to anyone. You'll know when it's near the end, though.
