anyone want to add anything?

www.heroquest-larp.co.uk/wiki/index.php5?title=Main_Page

I wonder if it's worth splitting more clearly into IC and OOC, right from the get go - have a high level out-of-character link and a link for the KV Archives?

Might make it easier if the Web-Wizards eventualy want to open it to other groups. Then you could have:

HeroQuest
Out-of-character
Kern Valley Archives

Fools and Heros
Out-of-CHaracter
Norham Province Library(or whatever, their site doesn't make it too clear)

etc

WOW! People have been working hard on that!

Looking good

Cool! Nice one Pete (IMHO)

I'd envisioned it as being system-neutral (to entice many LRPers from many systems to contribute, thus promoting the HQ brand to a wider audience) however as Phil suggests no reason why this content can't be broken into further categories under different systems for example (hopefully wouldn't invite copyright issues...???)

I think we will want to try to steer clear of duplicating some content from the official website (e.g. rules), otherwise maintaining it in 2 distinct regions is twice as much work, plus there are people who will argue over which is the definitive version etc!

Of course the uber lords of HQ Admin/Otherways have the final say, I am a mere morsel (not mortal)

put the new rules intro on the wiki more as a way for people to comment/edit - I propose putting the new rules on the wiki for people to comment & edit before they reach the live site - I'd also like to do a downloadable rulebook....

is there really no other LARP wiki?

why not invite the guys from rule 7 (link below) to contribute?

Phil - go ahead and change the main page - its very easy to edit

cheers

Yes, well I did rather ask for that didn't I? Um, I'm kinda busy with something else at the moment, let's call it interactive fan fiction, though I might get to take a look at the wiki on the occasions that my inspiration runs dry... (When I originally wrote asking about the wiki, I was expecting it to be some months away...)

I did have a go at a downloadable rulebook myself once, but organising it got horribly complicated. As many skills, for example, are available to multiple guilds, it got quite hard to find a way to represent it all without lots of cross referencing. Also, it was about 100 sides of A4 when finished. Quite a tome to download. So I had a go at splitting it up, with Low-level rules, guild handbook, high level, magic, power. But again, it ended up with so much cross-referencing, I rather lost the will to live on it and gave up.

If anyone wants what I did, I'm happy to mail it to them...

Thanks Phil but I think I have it already?

This is brilliant Pete

sfb

cheers

hopefully H2 this year post-May HQ i will be able to stick a lot more on the wiki.

My suggestion is to do the rules via the wiki so that everyone has chance to comment & discuss

Pete

shouldn't stop people updating whats there already though....
