Silbeg Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Was looking for the ever-useful master list of limitations, and learned that the Global Guardians' site has dramatically changed. The list to end all lists has disappeared. Does anyone know what happened? I apologize if this is "common knowledge"... I have been out of it for a little bit.

ghost-angel Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Re: Master List of Limitations Gone??!! It's still listed under Other Material. Perhaps it's simply being updated. It's large enough that major updates to it could take time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teflon Billy Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Re: Master List of Limitations Gone??!! Reports say that it'll be up soon (hopefully by the end of the week) TB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silbeg Posted November 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Re: Master List of Limitations Gone??!! Thanks, TB. Hope you are right! Did the global guardians collapse, or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Liaden Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Re: Master List of Limitations Gone??!! I hope we won't be losing all those character writeups, the Global Guardians Grimoire of "supermagic" spells, and other neat stuff that was on the site. I've pointed lots of interested folks to those things over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garou Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Re: Master List of Limitations Gone??!! Yeah, I found the cached versions as well. I noticed a couple of days ago (Sunday, I think), but kept forgetting to post about it. Here's hoping that it will be back soon - the updates give me hope that the site is simply being revamped.

zornwil Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Re: Master List of Limitations Gone??!! Thanks, TB. Hope you are right! Did the global guardians collapse, or something? I don't think extensive discussion is appropriate here, or rather not really on this particular forum (General Roleplaying or NGD would be better), but basically there was some sort of drastic change with accompanying wailing and gnashing of teeth and I believe Jack is doing a reboot. Bear in mind that's 2nd-hand info, though. I would discourage people, though, from getting into messy details on the matter, again at least in this forum. There's lots of individuals here who are also personally wrapped up in GG and topics around personalities and conflicts there (just like with any sort of organization) can become sensitive.

Silbeg Posted November 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Re: Master List of Limitations Gone??!! Click on Cached Good idea! Never even thought about that... or probably noticed the cached link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Re: Master List of Limitations Gone??!! Clicking on the cached links just gives me a "Page Not Found," unfortunately. Is that the same for everyone, or is it just me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flames Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Re: Master List of Limitations Gone??!! I'm glad I downloaded the pages for conversion to HD3 Prefab format. Now if I could just get 'round to finishing that project... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Eureka! Thanks to the wondrous Internet Archive Wayback Machine, we can still access the Master Lists on the Internet: http://web.archive.org/web/20060517071957/http://www.globalguardians.com/masterlists/masterlistindex.php Navigating the links between the archived webpages is kinda slow, and the linkage is occasionally cranky, but AFAICT all the pages from the GG website are there.

Vondy Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Re: Master List of Limitations Gone??!! Also, in addition to Zorn's comment, my understanding is the GG is being converted to M&M - I could be wrong, but that's my impression. The site may still have champions data when Jack's done with that, but I'm pretty sure the campaigns will use "the other superhero system."

MorpheousXO Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Re: Master List of Limitations Gone??!! EEK! We must back this up now lest we lose it forever! Back it up in twelve places! More! More seriously though, I do hope they don't end up getting rid of it, I've found this most useful and would hate to lose it. What would be especially cool is if somehow we could get that list HERE on this site! Though I doubt it, so we'll just have to help get it all done in HD so so it can sit here as long as HD survives (not to mention making it easier to use... well, for those of us with HD...).

Once we have stuff, we could divvy out the stuff, so that many people would create the disads. If 10 people do it, or 20, it will take much, much less time. Sounds like a plan we should start on!

I'd be in on that, but I'm stil stuck with HD2. I'm planning on upgrading soon, probably before the end of the year. Actually, I might be updating before the end of the month. And since NaNoWriMo ends on Nov 30, I'll have lots of free time begining Dec 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderer Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Re: Master List of Limitations Gone??!! I'm very happy with my inner paranoid for having saved a full copy of the whole Master List of Limitations on my hard disk. Unfortunately, I have no site of mine to upload them in. But I'd be very willing to send them to anyone who does, if the original creators provide unable to restore the list, and do not object to others picking up the torch.

MorpheousXO Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Re: Master List of Limitations Gone??!! hmm... ok then, I'll get to work on Y and Z... Others that wish to help should pick a letter or two to do and post here which they are doing. Remember, A, B, and Half of C is already done!

MorpheousXO Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Re: Master List of Limitations Gone??!! Erm... ok... didn't realize YZ only had 3 things guess that means I'll start on WX and keep working backwards from there.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorpheousXO Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Re: Master List of Limitations Gone??!! Bleh, my brain said enough after W-X (too much copy and paste!). I'll Post it up on the HD site now, as W-Z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edsel Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Re: Master List of Limitations Gone??!! Okay I'll start working on G-H as my time permits. I don't want to make any promises though. With luck I can finish my latest campaign log entry today and then I have a few weeks before I'll have other gaming commitments. I have copied the entire list into Word format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorpheousXO Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Re: Master List of Limitations Gone??!! Just a reminder for the Notes, where the description should go, you can highlight the text and copy it in, and to keep it uncluttered uncheck Include In Printouts. This is just something I did because it appears that's what was done by Flames on his... and it really does look better. I'm still somewhat new to HD, and have hardly used prefabs. So just a piece of knowledge for others as noob as me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edsel Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Re: Master List of Limitations Gone??!! I had a couple of hours to kill (at work) after our office's Thanksgiving dinner. I finished putting the G-H section in to a HD3 Prefab. Since that went so smoothly I think I will tackle the I-J section this weekend. Guess I better go post the G-H section on the HD site.

Edsel Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 Re: Master List of Limitations Gone??!! I just finished I-J and posted it to the Hero Designer site. I guess I'll keep going and tackle K-L next. If I am correct that means we have the following completed: A-B and about half of C.
