I am brand-spankin-new to Drupal and I need someone to point me in the right direction!

I have just set up a website for my gaming guild (group of people who play online games together). I am all-together ignorant of the modules which are out there and thus which ones would best fit my needs. What I need:

  • A DKP management module which ties into user's accounts.
  • A module to schedule repeating and non-repeating events

And maybe some other things I haven't even thought of! I'm guessing there's more than one person using Drupal for their guild - so speak up! What works? What doesn't?

Thanks to everyone -- especially the developers!

I believe you can do everything without developing new modules.
This is how i should do it:

Your DPK system could be solved with the CCK module. The CCK module let's you add custom type nodes. You can create a DPK node that is linked to a user. With the views module, you can get a very nice table that shows everything what you need.

Wit hthe Event and Event repeating module, you can add the functionality for your events.
The signup module is a very nice addon where you guild members can signup for an event. It gives you a nice overview.

You can also use the bio module for adding nice profile pages for you members.

You also need a forum offcours :) but that's a default module.

Hope this can help you :)
