Gaming Terms Not (yet) in Wikipedia

I wasn't saying that specific homebrew campaigns needed an article, rather the idea of homebrew campaigns and world-building for RPGs, which as a generic idea is very common practice - heck, from my understanding, Greenwood started detailing the Realms long before he ever played D&D.

ah, i hear you now, and yes i agree.

added a dead link to the Homebrew disambiguation page, now somebody fill it. :)

Maybe because these are not really worthy terms. I've no idea what APL is. A new monster from a recent magazine is not at all needed in wikipedia and "an elf with a lisp"? What makes that any more wikiworthy than any other noun with a lisp? (And I've never encountered an elf with a lisp in 25+ years of gaming, nor heard anyone refer to an elfth before.)

APL = Average Party Level

It's useful for figuring out what level your encounters should be. Used a lot in Living Greyhawk.

The other terms - not so much.

Never heard of it. What's it mean? Edit: Ah, Average Party Level. I see.
"Octopin" the new monster from the Age of Worms series
Plenty of critters don't have entries, last time I looked.
"Elfth" an elf with a lisp (etc.)
Is in no way worthy of an entry. Seriously.
"D&D house rule"
*shrug* There any mention of Rule 0? Same thing, basically.
Ranger Rick?
...means?
