Hey all
Followed the referrer link from my site (dnd5.com) and thought I would respond about this...
I am a graphic designer/web developer and an avid D&D fan - as such, I tend to make various and sites that are D&D related. I also do various 'fake' stuff regarding D&D for fun - not to anger anyone, but simply to have fun. For example, this was the last 'fake' project I did...
Azeroth the D&D setting for 2011?
So as for dnd5.com, the way this started was a thread I created at EN World called "
5e sooner than we think?" where I posted this modified 'screenshot'...
...this lead people to dnd5.com of course.
I posted the thread before going to bed - next morning it was locked, despite the relatively positive feedback. I did not expect to fool anyone at all and as it is known there that i do graphic stuff (the logo for EN World, subscription banners, and other stuff like Azeroth CG above) that was another clue. And then of course was the source code (something I look at regularly).
Anyway - there is a little background behind this in case you were interested
