Hey, /g/!
I'm a fa/tg/uy who wants to publish his own Pen & Paper RPG sometime soon. I have advanced far enough in development by now to start a product website soonly and I would like some advice regarding how to proceed from here.
As I see it, it's fine if the whole starts out merely as a developer's blog. However, I want the whole thing to be scalable in case the game is successfully launched: webshop, forums, banner ads, multi-lingual support, etc.
What technologies do I choose NOW to avoid excessive hassle LATER? A specific platform/CMS? Wordpress? TYPO3? Anything else?
You may assume solid programming skills, just no signifciant familiarity with HMTL/CSS/JavaScript/PHP/etc. Also, I would like to administrate the website with a medium amount of work for the foreseeable future - my focus is the actual product after all.
Can you help a neckbeard out?

Gentle Bump

Use Wordpress, it allows you to blog and have a basic website to start off. Then you can add Ecommerce with Woocommerce later on.
I setup the website for a new 3d printing company specializing in wargames. We tried a bunch of different systems but you can fit anything to wordpress so we went with that in the end.

Thanks, email address saved!
Since I am German, multilingual support is a must have and I read Wordpress plugins regarding that are kludgy. Also... doesn't it have an anti-advertisement policy?

It has great multilingual support in the back end, but I haven't dealt with it much. WP is used widely though so there must be some good plugins for it. Try looking at paid ones, they can be ~$80 US but can sometimes be really worth it.
Theres no anti-advertisment policy I know of. If you host it yourself, its open source so you can do whatever you want with it
Good luck with your RPG system, me and my friends play occasionally and can never settle on a system

Design you're new website at SquareSpace.COM™

Seems to be more suitable for simple sites, scalability a weak point.
