That'll be easy enough to explain... just as soon as I've finished work on a fundamentally new physical system, which I've tentatively labelled, SagePhysics.

I'm attempting to establish a Grand Unified Field Theory of Things On My To-Do List which will, essentially, reduce my total work time without negatively impacting upon the quality of the result of that work.

Thus, the final product of my infamous reality-bending "To-Do" list will not only explain the "how" of the list, but also the "why." And, just for the fun of it, I'll throw in some crazy equations about what happens to matter beyond the singularity of a black hole... just to satisfy Martin Rees.

Isn't the Sage ToDo list already a black hole? I mean, things go in, but they never come out.



Yowch!

If my "To-Do" list is a black hole, then why am I still here?

So you were right after all. My "To-Do" list really will outlast the end of this universe. Because I don't ever see that happening.

Brimstone found this site, which is far more complete than my Realms-centric list was.

The beauty of this listing, is that I actually managed to notice that I've missed a couple of downloads, or that I can now replace files I've misplaced... like those SPELLJAMMER Deckplans.

Got it from the Wizards Boards.

Pamela found the link, and Silversword posted it.

I already added the link the the first post.

I like the Spelljammer Deck Plans.

Some time ago, I found another archive of Wizards where you can find the 3.5-material from their current archive and some other material not found there:
- Dungeons&Dragons: www.wizards.com/dnd/Welcome.asp" target="_blank">http://web.archive.org/web/20001001132752/www.wizards.com/dnd/Welcome.asp
- ForgottenRealms: www.wizards.com/ForgottenRealms/Welcome.asp" target="_blank">http://web.archive.org/web/20001006222217/www.wizards.com/ForgottenRealms/Welcome.asp
- DragonLance: www.wizards.com/dragonlance/Welcome.asp" target="_blank">http://web.archive.org/web/20001018214634/www.wizards.com/dragonlance/Welcome.asp
- other worlds: www.wizards.com/dnd/OtherWorlds.asp" target="_blank">http://web.archive.org/web/20001001080216/www.wizards.com/dnd/OtherWorlds.asp

The direct links to the material around the books:
- Dungeons&Dragons: www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=books/dnd" target="_blank">http://web.archive.org/web/20040613234121/www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=books/dnd
- ForgottenRealms: www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=books/forgottenrealms" target="_blank">http://web.archive.org/web/20040603011810/www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=books/forgottenrealms
- DragonLance: www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=books/dragonlance" target="_blank">http://web.archive.org/web/20040603101725/www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=books/dragonlance
Here you will find some wallpapers, screensavers, informations about heroes of the books, bibliographies, timelines, authors, artists ...

And somewhere in the archive is a link to the download archives of the AD&D books which still functions:
www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/dnd/downloads" target="_blank">http://web.archive.org/web/20050403143759/www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/dnd/downloads

But sometimes it takes very long to show the sites ...

Edited the links, but you will still have to copy and paste them parting from http... Apparently there is an problem with the second www in the adress. Sorry, but hopefully you can enjoy now.

It looks like Nathera didn't get the links right for the url. Here's the Wayback Machine's listing of all archived Wizards pages:

http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.wizards.com

Linkage doesn't work on this because of the *. Copy & paste.

I actually DO know everything. I just have a very poor index of my knowledge.

Yieks, don't work with copy and paste. But yesterday it worked?

Next try ... the complet url, but just for the ForgottenRealms and old edition download. If it functions I will also change all the other links ...

-FR-Archives:

Yeah. I've been meaning to get around to correcting that little oversight in the forum code. But, you know.

Ah, that's an explication. I was totally confused. But if it's so, I will write the complete links on my first post, so you could go to them with copy and paste. But it will take some time because they are so long. But from the FR links you can also start to the other links if interested. And in the moment it doesn't take long to go to the pages. It changes from time to time.

I think that's being optimistic. I'd say at least Candlekeep 4 or 5.

Quick question? Does anybody know what happened to the Realms Articles like Tomb of the Astronomer, Ironfang Keep. The articles that wotc was producing right after 4e was announced.

I wish Wizards would produce more of these style of articles for the Realms. One page, a location, a simple backstory, a plothook or three.

I find it frustrating how Wizards continually misplaces Realmslore...

So I couldnt find these articles:
Countdown to the Realms: Magic in the Forgotten Realms, Spellplgue the Wailing Years, and Year of the Ageless One.

Also cant find Grand History of the Realms: The Moonshaes.

Does anybody know where they went? Or did somebody save them somewhere?
