Oh, and also feel free to discuss this endeavour, or any handbook within the thread, here as well. Unless you find *another* great big centralized list of useful BG stuff. Point me towards it and, yes, I'll do it for you, but frankly there's very little difference between the amount of effort it takes to identify a thread sufficiently well for me to find it and add it and the amount of effort it would take you to do what I've done with all these handbooks. This is not 'my thread': if you can think of something that ought to be here, feel free to add it yourself. I will make a list of them when I finish adding those three things. A lot of information is lost in the transition, but it's a hell of a lot better than losing the whole damn thing.Īs of now, this thread covers everything linked to by the Handbook Index thread that doesn't have an equivalent mirror linked right next to it, and is not obviously totally unusable- except everything in the Races and Templates, Spells and Other Magic Systems, and Items and Equipment sections of the Index. No formatting, no text colors, no links, no images, no smilies, no nothing: I tried to click on every 'spoiler' tag to get every bit of information hidden behind formatting, but I make no promises about completeness. Amazing what you can accomplish when you don't give a rat's ass about quality. (I put this here because I don't appear to have the permissions to post in the Handbooks forum.)ĮDIT: Well, that went pretty quickly. Should I finish the (large!) task of doing this for everything unported in the HBI, I may polish things a bit, or start hunting for other stuff to salvage. In this thread I will post rough copy-paste jobs of the most salient portions of some of the un-ported stuff pointed to by the Handbook Index, each with a quick acknowledgement of the author on top. Porting things over appears to have been slowed by the dual problems of fidelity- you can't view the underlying code of a post if you didn't make it yourself, it seems- and credit- a lot of people want handbooks to be ported over by their original authors.Ī partial solution presents itself: caring about neither of these things. I am alarmed by this prospect, since I still use a great many things that reside there- particularly items linked by the Handbook Index. I have just now become aware that the Brilliant Gameologist forums are poised to Go Away, Permanently.
