More DM Slots!

Just a quick update: You should now be able to add up to 6 DM slots per game. This is to accomodate larger events (Like Monday night PFS) where we often run the same module across many tables. Thanks for stepping up to run games Exclamation Mark

Login Issues

It looks like we were having some login issues there for a while, due to a couple modules that were out-of-date. Facebook login should be working again. If you are still having issues, please:

  • Hit the "logout" link on the top right if you can see it
  • Clear your browser cache and/or open a new window

Also please feel free to post technical problems in our support forums, and we will try to address them as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience!

Website Migration Complete (!?)

Hey everyone -

We finally managed to get our site to a (slightly) more reliable server. Hopefully you'll notice better load times and overall performance. We're still ironing out a few bugs, so please be patient as we finish things up. If you notice anything that seems consistently broken and/or annoying, please feel free to post issues to the help desk section of our forums. Cheers!

New Hardware!

So, good news. You've probably all noticed how clunky and slow our site can be at times. We're planning on moving to a new hosting environment in the next few weeks, which should (hopefully) speed things up a bit and make working with the site a bit easier. We'll drop you a line if we anticipate any significant downtime during the transition. Thanks for your patience!

Article: LFR Mods & McDonald's

Brendan was kind enough to submit an article on LFR mods, which we've included below. We're trying to get an idea of how best to present this kind of content. A new "Articles" section? If so, would anyone else be interested in contributing?

Character Sheet PDF Support

We have finally added support for the upload of your character sheets. Simply edit your characters, upload the pdf, and you should see a small icon listed next to your character's name whenever it is listed on the site. If you are unsure how to get a PDF of your character, try downloading a converter like Cute PDF Writer and follow the installation instructions. Once you have your character sheet ready to go, choose "Cute PDF" as your destination and hit "print".

Updated COWS Credit Policy

Since there was some confusion about what the policy is for cashing in COWS credit, Lexx and JP clarified the rules for us this evening. This information will also be added to our FAQ.

  • $5 in store credit will be rewarded to those who judge on Monday nights
  • The credit is represented by a paper slip signed and dated by either the Dice Dojo staff, or COWS admins

Chicagoland Games Website Update

It looks like Chicagoland Games has updated their site, and it looks great! Among other things, they have a badass announcement: WOC staffers who work on D&D will be at the store on August 1. We've gone ahead and added an event to our calendar as a reminder. It sounds like they will be talking about some upcoming projects, as well as what will be going down at GenCon this year. Hopefully we'll see you there!

GenCon 2011 Official Hook Up!!!1

With GenCon just around the corner, we want to make sure that we find time to meet you guys if you'll be in Indiana this year. We have a couple threads going in our forums that will hopefully help us to that end.

To all you veterans: Any recommendations where we could meet up in the area, and when?

We'll be sure to post full details when we figure this out.

Hey it's a new... website thing.

So welcome to our new website. Pretty straight forward, right? If you're new to COWS or to role playing in general, be sure to take a quick look at our FAQ and About pages to get a better feel for what goes down around here.
