Steve, in your imagination. Ridik is level 4 and only have is starting equipement on him. He won 200 gp over 3 levels...



Ooooh damned... and I'm walking with level 5 to 7 characters who are fully equip, why I suddenly don't give much for Ridik hide?

Thinking fo it, he would have made more money staying at the Inn since his creation and taking one a job...

I can't believe Rinaldo didn't have a +1 weapon though--though his shop has a perfect one now

OK. I'm getting somewhere. I think I'm getting the hang of adding links, and I've added some more cities and NPCs.

But I'm having trouble navigating. How do I get the central hub? The LEW wiki home page, if there is such a thing. I need to make sure I'm categorizing my entries correctly. For instance, if I want to make an entry for an NPC, what do I need to put in at the top other than {{Living ENWorld}}? Ditto for city and such.

Not to tease poor Rinaldo about his weapondry, but way back in M2, Jezibel had a +1 rapier. The group captured her and made her drop all her weapons, but then never picked them up. Later they fled the sahaugins and so never actually got any of her loot. It would have only taken a round to pick up her stuff at the time, but oh well. I guess they didn't realize they'd have to soon flee the scene. Or that she'd escape. Or any of that stuff w/Irene...

That's awesome! It's like the +1 rapier is always just out of Rinaldo's grasp

At the top of every page, there should be a Navigation Bar with various links. There is no "central hub" really, just that Navigation Bar, with links to Geography and History and what have you.

As for NPCs and cities, for now just put {{Living ENWorld}}. For NPCs, an intrawiki link to their home town would be appropriate somewhere on the page. If the city is in the Orussus Region (south of the Northern Mountains and north of the Stonespike Mountains), then you can add {{Orussus Region}} as well.

I'm keeping a watch on the pages as best I can. I'll come in after you and reformat to fit the standard, so don't worry about it.

Juliana doesn't have a +1 weapon yet. She does have Adamantine Full Plate though.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Rinaldo is not a figther, he is a social man, so putting money in his offensive stuff is not a priority... but even then, he has been so many time the second best figther of teh group that I should really do something for it.

Velmont, how's the tournament going? Is there a place listing all the remaining events, are you still accepting entrants? What's the general time frame? Razh may consider entering while he waits for Ogrin to return from his sojourn.

Ooo, if the tournament is still going, that could be a potential adventure for all the folks in the inn. Granted, Aletheia is a team player and a new 1st-level character and Lasair doesn't do anything tournamentish, so I'm not sure if either could do anything useful, but it could be fun.

WikiStatus Update: I'm making headway into El Jefe's Location Recompilation Thread. Poor guy, he was struggling to keep up with us. All praise El Jefe for his perseverance and untiring collectivization of Living ENWorld! It's making my job much easier. I can't imagine reading through all the threads he has.

So once I get everything from this thread, I'll have all of the sticky information. Then comes the hard part of compiling info from adventures and such. That will be made much easier if each individual DM writes a summary of all of his/her adventures on the wiki. That project can start now, actually. Reread those old quests, try to remember what happened in the Crash of '06, and get a summary together. Consider especially locations and NPCs.

As I'm going through the threads, the biggest problem with compiling LEW is the lack of a proper medium. Forum messageboards just aren't made for easily navigable information. If the wiki is successfully incorporated into standard procedures here, I believe Enworld will become much more solidified. Also, there are plenty of adventure hooks that players never followed up on and locations that DMs have been invited to use that just got lost and forgotten in the slew of new posts. In the wiki, we can have a section devoted to Adventure Hooks and Quest Locations and all that.

I think this is really moving along, thanks to everybody who's contributed so far, and a super big thanks to El Jefe for sifting through every thread to find the minutiae that we all missed the first time around. Now we just need full community participation to make that job easier, once everything gets moved over.
