Miriam's Basement

The Basement is closed (and sealed). For nearly ten years, Miriam Beecher’s Basement was a support site for the board game development and customization tool Strange Eons. On behalf of the entire SE community, I would like to extend my sincere thanks to everyone who contributed to the Basement over the years.

Don’t panic! New and improved versions of the content from the site are already available:

Help pages and documentation

Revised and updated docs are available on the Strange Eons 3 documentation site. This is a GitHub repository that (like the Basement) anyone can help edit. Recent builds of SE3 already link these pages for help content.

For plug-in developers, documentation for the Strange Eons API and scripting libraries will also be part of the new site.

Bug reports

Although the Basement had a bug tracker, I’ve always gotten most bug reports by email, a method that still works. You can also submit issues on the se3docs GitHub repository. (If it ever becomes possible to open source the SE3 code, that will get its own repo and you’ll be able to submit issues there instead.)

Forums

The forums were mainly used to ask questions about plug-in development. As with bug reports, you can submit these as issues or contact me directly.

To submit plug-ins to the catalogue, or update plug-ins that you have previously submitted, use the plug-in submission page.

Why is Miriam’s Basement closing?

There isn’t one simple reason, but here are the main ones:

  1. There are now other tools better suited to the site’s purpose.
  2. Eliminating the chore of site maintenance frees up my time for more useful work, including SE.
  3. The site’s software wasn’t updatable, creating a security risk.
