You've been lost in these dreaded woods for days, your rations have dwindled to nothing; you've scrapped out every crumb you had, and now, nothing for even a mouse. The rain refuses to let up; a endless torrent of water that soaks the earth and blankets the ground and leaves with a beautiful glitter. It'd be more beautiful, if it'd come to an end and bring out the warming sun You trudge through the mud shivering holding you soaked clothes close to yourself, hoping it might warm you up even just a little bit. Every gust of wind tortures you, as you desperately pick a direction, and decide you have no choice but to run, before starvation strikes. Maybe you'll find the exit to these dreaded woods? Maybe food, anything that looks mildly edible?
Just then, through a clearing of the trees, you see something, you think your eyes are playing tricks on you, but slowly you become very sure, that is smoke, and in this rain, it cannot be natural, it must be someone! You race to your new found hope, to find the strangest thing laying in the middle of the deep woods; a tavern. You rush to the wooden structure in excitement and a sense of salvation
You open the door, as the sign sways above your head in the wind. "The Wayward Inn", it reads, but you don't care. It must be warm inside; and they probably have food! You quickly enter, and shut the door, and everyone takes a peek at you... This place is packed, you can't believe how many people are here! So many strange people, all dressed in different ways, you can only imagine where they come from.
You have a seat at the bar, between a rather skinny fellow in a cloak, and a large, shirtless, musclebound man. They continue to drink, as the bartender comes along. A somewhat stout fellow, with a balding head, but a magnificent beard. He must've never shaven in his life to grow that thing.
He looks at you, and smiles, as he calmly asks "You're new here, aren't you?". You begin to speak, as he interrupts you. "Well, your room is on the third floor, third on the left. You got yourself in a pickle here you know." You feel a bit worried; what's going to happen? Is this a secret place you shouldn't know of? You ask the bartender why you're in a pickle, with a nervous tickle in your throat
The Bartender shakes his head calmly. "Relax, relax... Its just, no one ever leaves this Inn. Once you enter, the door never opens again. We all found this place, and from what we get, we come from different places; different worlds even. I was the first here. well, technically thats untrue; there was a polar bear here before me, milling about." You're beginning to think this man is insane.
However, your curiosity gets the best of you, and you try to open the door. You yank, and pull, yet get no where; thats when you feel a nudge on your leg. You turn, and see a Polar Bear, with a key around its neck. You begin to freak out, as it just looks at you and leaves you to your racing heart. You look at the stairs, and the people here, and it begins to settle on you.
This is your new home... For now.



The Wayward Inn is a creativity website for writing and roleplaying created by me and Miz and Ghan. Here users will be able to post stores poems you name and even RP. But unlike most websites that only allow you to RP post by post you can also use our custom coded chat room to roleplay and even use the dice for dungeons and dragons and exalted and even world of darkness(It handles all math for almost any game) We are releasing the website a little early then expected because we require some testing.

We would like for users who are interested in our project to register and post and over the next few hours the chat room and other stuff will go online so users can post and give feed back.

Hope to see you there!

PS: Ignore the designs on the home and forum page. It is a major work in progress.

A lot of systems and things are still in the works, but Wizard really wants you guys to test the systems and get feedback. Like this is a ridiculous work in progress, we are still debating the name and other functions. So any input will be welcomed.

The Wordpress front end should have a theme to match the Forum pretty soon, and it will be used as a publishing platform. Currently the site isn't extremely impressive but we hope to make it as welcoming and community based as possible. Along with some roleplaying forum features. We are also using XenForo which is brought to you by the same people who originally created Vbulletin. You can just jump to the forum through this link -> http://www.waywardinn.com/forum/index.php

Unfortunately I am in the middle of exam hell, so Wizard is mainly working on the system and holding down the fort for now but I am lurking about.

Chat suddenly stopped working: "Error: Connection status: 503"

refreshing gives me this: "Query: SELECT userID, userName, userRole, channel, UNIX_TIMESTAMP(dateTime) AS timeStamp, ip FROM wizard_ajaxchat.ajax_chat_online ORDER BY userName; Error-Report: Error-Code:"

    How come you're so into recipes lately? Never saw this much interest in this topic in the old days of TH.net
  • Monovertex Monovertex:
    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    I am not big on the recipes I am just promoting them - I use the site as a practice place promoting stuff

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    You can get there if you click the bell icon (alerts) and choose preferences from the bottom, signature will be in the menu on the left there https://www.thehelper.net/account/preferences

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Heard Houston got hit pretty bad by storms last night. Hope all is well with TH.
