The Dungeons and Dragons community forums were shut down in late 2015, shortly after the release of D&D 5e. The forums hosted tens of thousands of discussion threads across several editions of D&D.

The G+ Archives is a set of exports from now-defunct Google Plus TTRPG communities. A full directory can be found here.

The Story Games Index preserves threads from the Story Games community forums. The design-focused subforum, Praxis was more poorly preserved.

The Gauntlet forums inherited many users from Google Plus, especially the Gauntlet community that inspired it.

Fictioneers is, unfortunately, a community I know very little about. It seems to have focused on the "storygames" lineage of TTRPGs.

Wynwerod was relatively short-lived, but while it was active it seems to have hosted some of the Gauntlet survivors, and may have shared users with Fictioneers.

As of tonight, the navigation bar is now fully functional! I have a homepage, a genre history hub, a ttrpg hub, a freeware showcase page, and a general link showcase page. All of these are still under construction or directly connected to pages that are still under construction, but! the Full Skeleton is now online. this is phase 2 now. or possibly phase 3.

The homepage has been updated to reflect the next areas of focus, and to link to the pages I'm particularly proud of at the moment

First few entries in the magical girl timeline are up! Most of it speaks for itself, but I find it interesting how it was VERY much a Toei brand thing for a few years there. Also better reception in Italy than expected, which explains Winx Club somewhat.

I think my ideal timeline format would let me do more with showing what's ongoing across different years, but I'm satisfied with what's here already.

Up next is probably either mecha timeline, filling out the freeware page, or pulling together the links page. I saw a "a website is like a model train set" analogy which... is starting to feel accurate hahahahaha.
