Hello everyone,

Fellow Arcaniac and programmer extraordinaire, Scott Reid, has created a nifty tool to set up your own gaming events and download the Legends of Arcanis adventures you want! At the moment, there are thirty (30) adventures to choose from with more on the way.

These adventures encompass the entire two-year CRUSADE story-arc as well as a variety of Soft Points that will take you to such exotic regions as Pricklespur Forest as well as far off Metra in the Western Lands. Future releases will explore the First City and the Blessed Lands as well as other exciting locales.

Just follow the link: http://www.paradigmcampaigns.com/Default.aspx

I just registered on the site (that went fine). I then went to download adventures I don't have yet and it said I needed an Event. I then went and created an Event and it said it was submitted fine but it does not show up in the drop-down on the Event page or on the Adventure page so I'm still unable to download Adventures. Please advise.

What date did you put for the event?

Fri Nov 22.

The hosting provider has a short session timeout period that I'm working to overcome. (roughly 15 minutes or so.) By any chance did you have a long delay between creating your event and trying to download the adventures? If so, you may have been logged out and not realized it.

Regardless, I'll take a look and see if I see anything amiss.

There wasn't between creating the event and trying to download but there may have been between logging on and creating the event. When I go back, it still claims I'm logged in. I just went and tried creating a new event (only difference was making it single day instead of defining it for long period) and got the same "success" message on creating the event. This time the event did show up in the drop-down on the Adventures page (and I was able to download the two A2 adventures).

My current best guess is that the site will say event creation succeeded even if the timeout occurred.

One other minor quirk I noticed is that after adding an event, it is not listed in the drop-down on the event page itself until you reload the page.

Ah, here's your problem. The drop down list of events only displays events that are scheduled to end no further than 60 days from now. You scheduled your event to end on January 31st. So it will start showing up in your events list on December 2nd or 3rd.

Please note that the intention of this system is to have you re-download whenever you run an event, so that we can get a sense of how often modules are being played, and which ones. Scott even developed a very sleek Event Reporting tab that allows you to report the tables you run connected to the events which we would really appreciate that people do.

Creating an essentially open-ended event to download future events as they come up sort of defeats that purpose, especially since we understand that most people are just going to download a module once and then run it multiple times anyway.

Hello,

One thing I've noticed is people putting nonsensical answers when asked where the event is taking place. Answers such as "Here" or "Many Places" is not helpful. We ask this so we can get an idea of where Arcanis is being played (and conversely, where it isn't) so that we can see where we need to add support, continue supporting an area, etc.

Please take the time to fill out the information properly.

Thank you.

I will fess-up to putting in the "Many Places" myself, owing to the fact that the majority of the time I get to play nowadays is online. As the format does not take that into account that I could see, I chose that option.

Then again, I did state it was "Online play" above, so I hoped things would balance out
