Heyo Beyonders. I've been on this site since late 2023, which is longer than... most of the people currently sticking round, and have had the privilege to experience the threads of old.
However, those threads of old that I enjoyed so much are long gone. So, I thought, why not revive one?
But not in the usual, technically-against-site-rules necroing of an old thread. Rather, I would do a remake, a remaster, a sequel, keeping the soul of the old thread but forging it anew as best I can.
I have a few ideas, which I'll be posting here over time as I dive into the thread backlog. Eventually, I'll make them all into a poll and see which idea comes out on top.
IDEAS AREA:
The idea that persuaded me to make this was a sequel/AU of sorts of the thread The Universe Smorgasbord, credits to Baalzeboop for its creation. In this new thread, the world created by the gods was destroyed by a great battle, then rebuilt anew by the Divine Ascendents, the 3 eternal beings that built the world in the first place.
Events that happened in the OG Smorgasbord would be translated into lore. I highly doubt that many of the people currently active on DDB remember this gem of a thread (Baalze will obviously, and Dutch might), which is a great shame, since it was one of my favorites back in the day.
The Smorgasbord took place in a blank world, where the gods created by players would carve their domains and slowly transform it from a wasteland to a diverse realm of magic.
Tenebrae Sine Fine (also known as The Endless Dark) was a super fun thread we can thank TheMadGibber for. It was one of the more complicated threads, going through 3 updates as more features were added. It was a thread where you played as a demon, banished from the mortal world by Heaven into the abyss of Tenebrae Sine Fine, an unescapable prison realm. It would be hard to recreate it to it's full extent, but it was great fun.
Camp Half-Blood, created by Eclipse_mw19, was a Percy Jackson-inspired thread and one of the most popular taverns ever created at 4389 pages and nearly 88,000 posts. You were a half-blood at camp half-blood, I sincerely hope I don't have to explain PJO to anyone here.
Welcome To YonStore, by Yondor_the_fantastic (or smth like that) was a fairly basic thread, where characters would meet up in YonStore, a strange and massive store. There were little to no character restrictions here, and it's the only thread on this list (currently) that I haven't RP'd on myself.
Heya everyone! I'm EJO, DDB's resident immortal Welsh medieval rat who appears randomly roughly once every week.
I'm not active much, but always up to talk when I am.
I'm known as CptKurn nearly everywhere but here.
Do not ask me about anything I like because I WILL waffle on for half an hour.
What happened in the Smorgasbord?
Heyo! You can call me Link. Here’s a bit about me:
Roomba Knight, Architect of the Cataclysm, Foxy Lunar Archpriest. Dubbed The Fluffy Bowman by Golden. He/Him
Theatre Kid, Ravenclaw, bookworm, DM, Lego fanatic, mythology nerd, pedantic about spelling. I also love foxes, cats, otters, and red pandas!
I love K-pop Demon Hunters and Korean Mythology. If you want to ask me about something, send me a PM!
I try to keep the peace and be neutral most of the time…
It was a God thread, like the current God TTRPG. It wasn't the OG god thread (that I believe was it's predecessor, the Universe Canvas), but it was one of the first, and SUPER popular.
Lots of stuff happened. There were wars, massive battles, gods dying and being reincarnated. I had several characters there; The Fathomless(god of magic and lots of other stuff) Kavalos(I think that was his name. God of Fire, and some would say treachery. died twice, reincarnated twice.) and Nurgul(God of plagues. Got killed by the devil.) Loads of others as well. It's one of the most storied threads ever, I think.
If you want some events, I'll have to reread all 1131 pages of it...

Ok, this sounds like fun to revive. I could bring up Ren again…

Lord's Rest was popular but generic, idk if its popularity was genre based or player based.
I liked your Grimmshire thread
You guys are awesome and mean so much to me. And mean so much to each other.
I've roleplayed on Lord's Rest, it was sorta fun, you had a wide vareity of characters

The best one was YonStore but nobody remembers that one lol

I think Lord's Rest stayed alive because of the characters.
Also thanks! Grimmshire was cool but only really used by like 3 people...

I actually started reading YonStore and read the lore for it, it was cool!

nope. I went 27 pages back and didn't see that...
There was also Tavern at the End of the World, but I honestly have no clue what that was about. plus, 7000 pages is to much reading to do

You did? What did you think?

It was a bit like LRI, with not many character restrictions, so it makes sense why it got popular

Yeah, those are the taverns that tend to last

Yup! The tavern also normally had to be an original idea

Yeah! Taverns based on media don't last unless they are camp half blood, as being a fan is necessary to join

Yep! Everybody loves PJO. so basically everybody was a fan
