Whatever happened to the EN World Wiki?

[airwalkrr]

Just like the title says. I recall there used to be one a while back which I used for tracking things in my PBP games. Now, the old link doesn't work. Has it been reincarnated in some new form?

 

[Nebten]

It is no more. They removed it about a year ago.

 

[Morrus]

It didn't work properly and we couldn't fix it.

 

[airwalkrr]

Hmm, that's a shame. Any suggestions for a similar wiki that I might be able to use?

I'm no expert - but we will be launching EN World's CAMPAIGN MANAGER soon (it needs testing first) which is designed specifically for that sort of thing - including tracking players, permissions for posting in campaign threads determined by the GM, ability to apply to join games, GMs can accept applications or boot a player, plus character records and campaign information.

It works alongside and interfaces with our existing PbP threads (it doesn't replace them), and can also be used for any other type of game - real life, IRC, virtual tables, etc.

The L4W & LEB use Wikia (L4W Wiki) for our needs.

I believe it was around March last year the Enwiki was taken down.

I anxiously await on onsite solution though as Wikia has had a few instances of failing to access the information. Only a handful of times though.

I will anxiously await this, it sounds awesome!

You're welcome to check out - and, indeed, test - it:

http://www.enworld.org/forum/CampaignManagerMain.php

It needs some polishing yet, but feedback is welcome. And it probably needs a bunch of descriptive/instructional text.

Note that if you add a character, you are then able to post as that character (you select what character you wish to post as via a dropdown under your username). Your post will indicate automatically who the character is owned by.

Some stuff doesn't work right yet (no formatting in text boxes, for example) but it's 80% there.

That is awesome Morrus. I will get into play-testing that immediately and start offering feedback. How exactly does one offer feedback?

I use www.wikispaces.com but

Obsidian Portal - Campaign websites for Dungeons and Dragons and other tabletop RPGs is geared especially for gamers.

I eagerly await the campaign manager!
