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:"

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    that sucks i bet they are expensive
  • Varine Varine:
    Not really
  • Varine Varine:
    The entire hot end is like 20 dollars, I just can't get anymore until next week
  • Varine Varine:
    I ordered like five blocks for 15 dollars. They're just little aluminum blocks with holes drilled into them
  • Varine Varine:
    They are pretty much disposable. I have shitty nozzles though, and I don't think these were designed for how hot I've run them
  • Varine Varine:
    I tried to extract it but the thing is pretty stuck. Idk what else I can use this for
  • Varine Varine:
    I'll throw it into my scrap stuff box, I'm sure can be used for something
  • Varine Varine:
    I have spare parts for like, everything BUT that block lol. Oh well, I'll print this shit next week I guess. Hopefully it fits
  • Varine Varine:
    I see that, despite your insistence to the contrary, we are becoming a recipe website
  • Varine Varine:
    Which is unique I guess.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Actually I was just playing with having some kind of mention of the food forum and recipes on the main page to test and see if it would engage some of those people to post something. It is just weird to get so much traffic and no engagement
  • The Helper The Helper:
    So what it really is me trying to implement some kind of better site navigation not change the whole theme of the site
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
