FAQ
Here is a FAQ for those of you that are still trying to figure out what is going on with Orcpub2.com, and Dungeon Master's Vault.
In a nutshell we don't know much of what, why, or how come Larry just shut down Orcpub2.com so abruptly. So is this a FAQ? Sooorta?
There have been lots of rumors about cost, WoTC, people being sued, and other things, but I wanted to set the record straight.
What we do know
What we do know is that he announced it back in May of 2019 he was going to shut it down, then the site continued to run. Which was weird.
Then suddenly, Saturday February 22, 2020 Orcpub2.com was taken offline.
No warnings, (other than that May post), No banners on the website, no nothing. Just gone.
Then a mysterious posting from the @orcpub Twitter account right before the @orcpub Twitter account account was deleted.
So you know what I know. We were taken off guard just as you were. The rest is just that. Rumor.
We at Dungeon Master’s Vault had no control over that. We have asked a couple times to get the database, but that never happened.
We never had access to the Orcpub2.com website.
That was all owned, operated and maintained by Larry. Unfortunately that means no porting of characters.
That is all gone with the shutdown.
With that being said.. we move forward!
This Pateron is for the community project for Orcpub. We love the code, we love the site, we love D&D. There is a place for everyone here.
This is code that Larry wrote that ran Orcpub2.com - he open sourced it.
We created a fork of it, and started this community.
We've fixed a few things along the way, but still have some big hopes and dreams for it. Like a mobile app! A windows version, etc.
We have branded 'alllll-of-this' as Dungeon Master's Vault.
What do we do?
The DMV team runs the community fork of orcpub on our public website:
https://www.dungeonmastersvault.com/
We build and maintain a Docker image of the Orcpub.
We build and maintain a (beta) Windows Server version of Orcpub.
We host a Discord server to chat about D&D, DMV, and other things...
Good News
So, even though Larry shutdown Orcpub2 - it lives on in us.
In this community.
In you.
Without you this wouldn't be happening. So - again - Thank you soo much.
This is a great community effort - to host the site, enjoy D&D, have some fun , and create tools that you guys can use.
I believe in transparency and keeping you guys in the loop, now you know what I know.
Hope to see you guys out there!
