…..Featured Rulesets!

While I would be interested in many of the lesser known rule sets that are listed in left-sidebar under "Featured Ruleset", it is very frustrating to click on the link and find it either dead or going to a gambling site.

One of the editors needs to spend some time and go through the listings and either mark as "Inactive" or "Dead Link".
That would give the original author the chance to provide a current link to their rules.

If you click on a Featured Ruleset in the sidebar, the link ALWAYS goes to a TMP page about that ruleset.

If you are getting something else, then there is a problem with your browser security.

I'm talking about the actual link to the rules, not the TMP discussion.

I use Norton, not an off-brand anti-virus.

The actual ruleset listed will be random. At the moment, on my screen, I'm seeing:

Featured Ruleset


Quick & Simple Wargame Rules for Everything

And the link goes to a TMP page about those rules.

Bill! How the hey does one get a ruleset in the pool to be listed randomly?

I have a few that deserve some occasional mention….

I'm not sure what I was supposed to see SMM, but I saw five distinct rule sets on the links you provided. No gambling sites, or other weird stuff. The links worked for me.

Click on the location links in the left sidebar that show the location of the rules for either viewing or downloading.

Example:
TMP link

From the Sidebar link:
Status
In Print
Contents
Online (15-page PDF)
Then clink on the hot link and you get file doesn't exist.

I clicked on all 5 above and the hotlink took me to a site not found or similar advisement.

Ah, so you are not complaining about the sidebar, you are complaining about a Rules Directory page that needs updating.

Best way to handle that is to send a PM to Editor Katie for each page that needs updating, explaining what the problem is. TMP link

DayZ is no longer available on Mediafire, and I can find no current links for it online.

Dino Hunt was available from MAWS Black Panthers, but that website is gone, and the main MAWS website does not have a downloads area that I can see.

Prehistoric Pocket was available from the Dinosaur Wars website, which is now gone.

Any ruleset listed in the Rules Directory is automatically included.

Dear Leader!

Okay, thanks for the direct instruction! I'll visit the Rules Directory and see if I can't salt the mine.
