TRAGEDY HAS STRUCK! (Possibly.)

[Oko and Qailee]

Has anyone found a source for Hanks Energy Bow? I liked that bow... and it's gone.

I'm having trouble finding the original article in the archive, but this link has it's full stats.

I'm actually lucky enough to own the D&D Cartoon DVD Box Set, which includes a booklet with stats for all the characters and their items.

[edit] After much digging, found it in the archives! :) Link: http://archive.wizards.com/default.a.../ask/20061227a [/edit]

Easy way to get most if not all** of the old stuff:

Old Link: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/we/XXXXXXXXX

New Link: http://archive.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/we/XXXXXXXXX

** Works with every single link I've tested so far, but I haven't tested every single link.

Alright, may I ask what all of this means here? What was so important about that?

During 3rd edition, WotC posted some free extra content online.
During the switch to 4th edition, WotC tried to make it hard for people to pick up 3rd edition.
Recently the webpages holding the free 3rd edition content disappeared (404 messages).
3rd edition players did not trust WotC would restore the content. So they made this thread and an effort was made to backup the free content for when WotC eventually does remove the content for good(did I mention not trusting WotC as much anymore?).
Then WotC restored the content under a slightly new URL.
The 3rd edition players feel better knowing it is back up AND backups are in trustworthy hands.

Actually the search engines are starting to catch up.

"web enhancement" site:archive.wizards.com lists the relevant articles in both Yahoo and Google

Swiftblade site:archive.wizards.com just gives you lots of MtG links still though.

That's great news. The web enhancements are significantly more official than anything--even Dragon magazine stuff.

Where do you get that idea from, other than the Iron Chef competition rules?
