[Weapons]

Sun, 15 Jun 2008 20:04:30 +0000

Heya'll. I've started a page a while ago, for the conversion of weapons from 3rd to 4e. Any suggestions are obviously going to be awesome to work on/with, and I await everyone's input!
Here's the link: 4e Weapons

(If it's possible to change the address of the new page, that'd be kinda nice too. It transformed while I was working on it.)

New Projects Open for Development?

Wed, 04 Jun 2008 16:02:49 +0000

Is your new project open for development? Would you prefer just discussion on the forums, or can people start editing wiki pages? Perhaps a forum thread linked to each project (page) where people can chronicle their changes?

I find myself wanting to jump into some of these projects, but don't want to step on any toes!

[Ability Score Generation] Cary over from 3.5

Tue, 03 Jun 2008 05:45:15 +0000

4d6, re-roll 1s, drop the lowest.
The standard ability generation method for 4E is point buy now. For those of you who like to roll for ability score but prefer "heroic" score I give you my groups concoction. We've been using this since the beginning and has served us well.

Please, respond.

Feel free to post any suggestions, comments, concerns, etc. for my 'Thousand Mountains' campaign setting here.

when editing or posting

Mon, 02 Jun 2008 13:03:44 +0000

I seem to be having a problem when editing content or posting on the forums. It seems that the text box goes off the side of the screen (and it's doing it now) so that I cannot see what I am typing. As I keep typing it does eventually go to the next line and I can see what I'm doing again, but I am constantly hitting 'preview' so that I can read what I wrote and fix any typos. This wouldn't be a problem normally but there is no scrollbar at the bottom of the screen to slide it over and see the full text box.

I am noticing, by the way, that the text box fits the screen nicely before I start typing, but once I start, it expands and the right side is off the screen. Anything we can do about this?

Intro and Questions

Mon, 02 Jun 2008 12:44:03 +0000

Hello All!
I'm working on my campaign setting for my upcoming 4e games and figured it would be a good thing to share with others out there. I'm going to encourage my players to sign up and post pages about their characters, but I would like to hear suggestions from fellow DMs about what I can add/change that would make for a better campaign. I'll start a 'suggestions' thread for people to post and I will also take private messages as well (can't have the PCs knowing everything, right?).
Also, I invite people to use what I post in their own personal campaigns (ideas, places, maps, entire setting, whatever) and I just ask that you post what you've used/done in either your own thread (and let me know, cause I'd like to read it) or in a thread I'll start called something like '1001 mountains and more' (or something equally cheesey… you'll know it when you see it). So, that all being said, feel free to check out my setting and give me feedback/advice/rants/raves/etc.

Enjoy!

New Page Naming Convention

Mon, 02 Jun 2008 01:45:28 +0000

I'll be adding custom sidebars to all the projects over the next couple of days. This requires that all new pages within a project have titles formatted like so:

(page names with multiple words should hyphenate).

Thus, all Scourwind Valley pages now have names starting with "swv," so swv:scourwind-valley is the homepage.

Project abbreviations are as follows:

Fallcrest Expansion - fce
Cinematic Sands - cs
Scourwind Valley - swv
4e House Rules Central - hrc
Thousand Mountains - tm

Thanks!

[New Location] The Mill

Sun, 01 Jun 2008 19:00:43 +0000

I've created a new location, but I'm uncertain how to finish off the idea. Jackob and the Mill are two sides of the same coin. Jackob is the keeper and the Mill is the monster.

So are Tobby and his wife in on the plot, or are they innocent bystanders - or worse - are Tobby and his wife some sort of echos of the people who've always run the place? Maybe illusions, or ghosts that show up whenever both the miller and his wife are dead. They relive the same life over, and over again.

I don't want it to be a curse. This is, somehow, the way it's supposed to be. But - what happens if the monster is set free? And how do you do that? Kill Jackob?

Interest in expanding the 4e "Fallcrest" area?

Fallcrest 4e "Implied Setting"

Fallcrest is the setting provided in the new D&D 4e DM's guide. It has a really nice skeleton of a locale to begin a new campaign around. I would like to start a collaborative project to develop that area (the Nentir Vale) by fleshing out the NPCs, buildings in town, villages, adventure sites, organizations and plot hooks.

If you could create the project, I'll begin populating it with the appropriate amount of detail so that others can start on individual projects. I think if we get a good structure going, a forum post or two on ENWorld will really get some traffic and interest.

My proposal is to go with RAW (rules as written) implied setting to ensure we have a common vision of how the world works. We won't change anything that is provided in the mini-setting, but we'll add to it while striving to keep the "feel" fairly consistent.

Any interest?

Tell us what brought you here.

I created the wiki as a place for all the creative gamers around the Web to come and do some collaborative game design. I've designed on just about every medium possible, and I think a wiki is the best way yet to share and collaborate on game designs. So, I put my money where my mouth is and started this one up to find out!

Sidebar

Wed, 28 May 2008 16:50:37 +0000

So, we can create custom sidebars on our pages using DIV, like so:

http://snippets.wikidot.com/code:extra-side-bar

But populating it correctly is another story. What I'd like to do is write or find a module that would populate a sidebar with every page displaying a certain tag. That way, any page tagged with Scourwind Valley would show up in the sidebar of all pages tagged with Scourwind Valley.

Maybe someone more experienced with Wikis can help me out with this one. :)

How to mark content you want developed?

Wed, 28 May 2008 16:16:03 +0000

If there's something you'd like someone else to tackle, maybe you've got a great idea but don't have any way to flesh it out, it'd be nice to have some kind of mark for that. It could also mark pages that need to be created.

Right now, if you look at Scourwind Valley, you'll see that I've put (*) after any word or phrase I think could use development.

How does that work for everyone?
