[B][U]Tasks[/U][/B] [B]The DM's guide[/B]: The adventure submissions page should be a relatively easy cut-paste job, and the adventure index shouldn't be too difficult, 'adventure' is already a category in the wiki. The house Rules section will require someone who knows all the house rules that have been passed (such as the recent double XP, time gold, time XP DM credits and so forth), or is willing to trawl through all the threads and write up a list. For the hints & tips page; do we have any budding journalists in the community? Maybe a new thread could be started to help collect tips and advice from all of our DMs here? [B]The Campaign Setting[/B]: This is undoubtedly going to be the biggest job, there is a lot of stuff scattered throughout the old wiki, some of which is related to the other possible settings that were considered when L4W was in it's early stages, other pages have minimal information on them, I even came across some pages that have maps of regions of Allaria on them! I would suggest that each numbered section be dealt with separately (or at least one at a time). Each of the different sections of the geography 'chapter' would probably benefit from individual scrutiny; with Daunton obviously being the priority. The History chapter is probably going to be quite awkward, as much of the history of L4W is reasonably vague, and those stories and legends that are known about (the five, arga the black and the sealing off of daunton) are again scattered throughout the old wikki. All of these elements could do with being collected into one place. The chapter on Magic, is perhaps a can of worms threatening to be opened; I've noticed from a number of other discussion threads that there is no real consensus on exactly how common and/or mysterious magic is in the Transitive Isles, this too is probably something that would need to be discussed in a separate thread and a general consensus made before too much work is put into it. Writing up about the pantheon shouldn't be too much trouble; as our gods are based on the ancient Greek & Roman gods, there is plenty of reference material out there. But I do think there should be more info on the wiki itself rather than a brief description and then saying that they are based on such-and-such, expecting the reader to go elsewhere for more information. If there are any jobs here that someone feels up to, please come forward and let us know what you want to do :) [/QUOTE]
