🐉 Dispatch from the Depths: A Missive from Yr Obdurant Serpant
Greetings, seekers of arcane lore—
It has been an age. DragonquestFrontiers.com has lain dormant far longer than I intended, and I offer this missive as both apology and herald. The silence was not neglect, but the consequence of many competing quests—half a dozen websites to tend, a multitude of obligations, and the slow-turning gears of a mind now in its seventieth cycle. Once, I could game for seventy-two hours without sleep; now, I find myself needing more scrolls to track my thoughts than I once needed to track dragons.
But the wyrm stirs. The archive awakens.

Greetings, seekers of arcane lore—

It has been an age. DragonquestFrontiers.com has lain dormant far longer than I intended, and I offer this missive as both apology and herald. The silence was not neglect, but the consequence of many competing quests—half a dozen websites to tend, a multitude of obligations, and the slow-turning gears of a mind now in its seventieth cycle. Once, I could game for seventy-two hours without sleep; now, I find myself needing more scrolls to track my thoughts than I once needed to track dragons.

But the wyrm stirs. The archive awakens.

🗂️ Reforging the Vaults

  • All of the site’s content was resurrected from the ashes of the defunct domain via the Internet Archive.
  • Every document—over 1,500 HTML files and images—must be individually reviewed, restructured, and re-integrated.
  • These relics, once scattered across multiple site-builder formats, are being transmuted into a coherent, searchable grimoire.
  • Updates will arrive in batches, as I divine the best structure for usability and preservation.

📚 What Lies Ahead

  • A revitalized site containing:
    • The official DragonQuest rulesets and tomes
    • A rich trove of homebrewed materials, curated over decades
  • I am also seeking permission from the estate of my late GM, Bjoern Hartsfvang, whose brilliance shaped my own journey through DragonQuest since 1987. Should his husband—now dwelling in Spain—grant it, I hope to include some of Bjoern’s fiercely guarded creations.

🛡️ Fortifying the Gates

  • The User Registration form is being fortified against the spambot scourge.
  • Already implemented: manual validation is now required for new accounts. No more automatic approvals.

🔮 Signs and Portents

In the coming weeks, expect new content, improved navigation, and perhaps a few surprises. This site is not merely a vault—it is a living archive, a place where the echoes of DragonQuest may once again ring clear.

🧭 And while we await the revelations here, I encourage you to explore the other DragonQuest strongholds listed at the
DragonQuest Player’s Association — a venerable repository of over 600 files, message digests, and tools like Matt Hodgins’ Ultimate Character Sheet v7.0. There’s much to discover.

Thank you for your patience, your passion, and your enduring curiosity.

In service to the quest,
Yr Obdurant Serpant

Your Obdurate Serpent, whose hoard you are attempting to pillage. Oh, go ahead. It's there for the taking anyway. I'll find more. No! Not that piece, that's special!!
