Message: <blockquote data-quote="Janx" data-source="post: 5889735" data-attributes="member: 8835">One idea I had centuries ago when the 3e tools were popping up for dungeon, NPC, village creation was to wire it all together such that a random world map was generated.  Each city/village was rolled up with each NPC rolled up.  each dungeon was also rolled up.All of it crosslinked together as a hyperlinked pile of documentation.So the user could click on a city on the map, jump to the city page, see the city map and the map key, with each place tying to the NPCs found there and building map.This kind of generator could feed into a wiki, so the content could then be edited, massaged, etc.As far as using a Wiki, I'd recommend always starting from a map.  People pick a place, and drill into the details on that place. I have no idea if Wikis accomodate image maps, but I always use them when hand-building campaign websites.  I find that people are generally location oriented when it comes to game worlds.  Where do I want to go, show me info about that, with child-places I can go to shown on the higher detail map.</blockquote>
