As you may have noticed, we've been down for about a week and a half. Due to a mixup in payment, the host suspended us till we paid. I can confirm we paid within a few hours, the rest has been down to the host being extremely slow to process this.

But alls well that ends well I guess. The downtime has motivated me to update things around here.

Update: Ugh, seems something broke our RSS. If you are reading this on the forums then I've fixed it.

Just a short news update: We are currently experiencing intermittent SQL failures. If you get any of these error pages in the near future, please try again in a few minutes.

We are aware of this and attempting to resolve the problem.

Happy holidays everybody, from all the staff at the RPG Palace and forums! Hope it's a good one for you all.

And a retrospective Happy Hanukah to Barry and friends.

If you want to talk about it with everyone, we have a thread here:

Clicky!

Aletarius, one of our more delightful new guys, has been kind enough to make us a new IRC channel (A whole community instant messenger). The community would be all that much more enjoyable if you join up and get to know the fellow site members! Follow the link below and find out how to join below. Down the line, I'm sure he will be adding various commonplace IRC games and what not to make it just that much more entertaining.

The rules to the IRC channel are the same as that on the boards. All are welcome along as long as you don't break the rules!

I have added a new feature to the downloads system. You can now download a demo for any file that comes with one. The layout has been shuffled around to look more like pages in the "artists" section of the site, meaning that download links are now in the upper left corner of the page. The only files with demos so far are TheInquisitor's XP tilesets, which have passability set by Insane Cal included.
