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!
Hi.
I read a lot of RSS feeds (about 1/2 of which seem to be GM blogs). I'm always interested in learning how other folks do things. I stumbled on the GamerDome via the Critical Hits blog. I'm in the process of gently closing down one game (running for over 12 years, with only 2 original players and two "newbees") and starting the planning process for another. I have 3-4 interested players. Problem is, I haven't settled on an idea for a campaign yet. I was hoping to come here, help out with some open projects and maybe spark some ideas of my own.
Welcome ketherian!
I think the wiki is a good way to keep the creative juices flowing in between campaigns, and maybe you'll get some good feedback from the others. Feel free to start a thread here, or to start a project for your new campaign with whatever ideas you *do* have, personal house rules, etc.
Thanks for starting the comments off on Scourwind Valley, I think your comment idea is fine…as I may have said, I'm a wiki newbie myself, so I'm not sure what the best way to do things is.
Hello all,
I heard about this wiki on both critical-hits.com and enworld.org.
I've been reading a lot of GM blogs lately, as I've been getting ready for 4e to come out and figured this would be a be great place to share/work on some of my ideas for my upcoming campaign. As I'm sure with everyone else, I create a lot of stuff that never sees the light of day in my games. I figure here I can put everything out there and people can take what they want (and I can also use their creations to better my games as well).
That's really it… As far as 'credentials'? I'm 34 and have been playing D&D (and other RPGs) since I was about 6 and have been DMing for about that long as well. Nothing professional, just a love of the game.

Hi all!
I heard about the site on ENWorld. Funny thing, I had just been thinking (minutes before, actually) that I should create a wiki site for theFallcrest "implied setting" area to jointly flesh it out with some people. It isn't often you can run the implied setting for D&D and have it interesting and novel, so for my 4e campaign I am just starting that's my plan. Since I'm one of the lucky 100 people with the early-shipped DM Guides from Buy.com, I've had a chance to look the Fallcrest area over and think it will be a really nice starting point for a POL campaign.
As far as credentials, I'm an "old-timer". First D&D was 1979 and I started DMing my own campaigns in 1980. I switched to GURPS for quite a while (with a smattering of HERO, some homebrew and even a little MERP, God help my soul…) Professionally I'm a just an average joe working a corporate job, but generally enjoying the challenges. I'm 44 and Roleplaying is one of my all-too-numerous hobbies that happens to include my teenage son (so I get 'father credits' for playing…woot!)

@Rauthik: Welcome aboard! Feel free to start a project for your stuff!
To start a project:
1. Edit the Sidebar. Copy the syntax already under Open Projects, and when you save that page, click on the link you created. It will take you to a blank page, which you can then save as your project homepage.
2. Edit the Top: NavBar. Go to the SiteMap and find Top Navbar, click on it and edit it to add your project to Open Projects.
3. I'll create a forum as soon as I see it and know what it's called. :)
4. Add content!
Forgive me if this stuff is obvious! :)

Woot indeed! You're lucky to have the books early, man! I've created a new project for Fallcrest, and I'll participate once I have the books! :)
Howdy! I'm here because I love tinkering with game rules, character sheets and campaign settings. I'm kind of embarrassed to say that I have "restarter's disease." I'm never satisfied with what I've done, so I start again. And again. And again.
It seems like this place might be a good one to stick some of my stuff and to talk about it with other DMs, who can maybe give me some feedback.
The (limited) 4e information I've seen so far hasn't made me enthusiastic, but I do love E6, and Pathfinder is looking very good to me.
Propagandroid invited me to guest blog for him sometimes, though so far I've only done one rant post. Stay tuned for more rants posts from me in the future. He didn't exactly invite me to come to this part of his site, but I don't suppose he'll throw me out. :D
Hey all!
I found you all from an E-mail I got from DungeonMastering.com
I have been playing D&D for about 30 years now. I also have Dm'd my fair share. :)
I am currently working on my own world and rules set along with my own web site. The progress is VERY slow. I have not near enough time to spend on it but I find working on it a way to stay in touch with the Gamers while going through dry spells form gaming.
Anyway, I have a 4th edition Chat group on Myspace if anyone is interested all are welcome. "4th Edition Dungeons and Dragons" is the name. Or you can go to my home page "Bog97th"
I hope this site takes off and does well. I enjoy the creative side of the game as much as playing and love to read others thoughts on such things.
GAME ON!
