[QUOTE="Yair, post: 2763472, member: 10913"] That is an excellent question, and I've been spending the last ten minutes contemplating it. So although I'm not its inteded recipient, I'll give my answer. My main wish from an online resource is for it to serve my tabletop campaign. I want to be able to point the players to a URL and say "See there? That's the description of the realm. See that page? Those are the Action Point rules we'll use." A second goal is for this to be legal, as doing crime to play the game leaves a bitter taste in my mouth, detracting from my enjoyment. Even posting an FR storyhour on these forums is likely a copyright violation or at least fishy enough that one could, in theory, be sued over it. I'd like to engage in gaming without partaking in criminal activity, thank you. Thirdly, I want to make my stuff public. It's an exhibitionist, emotional desire to show off. Even if my stuff isn't exactly stellar, it is mine and I like to share and show it. These are my goals. I never said they are realistic. An OGC wiki allows one to browse a wide range of OGC in an easily-used digital format. You can point people to pages in it so they can read a class, or feat, or whatever. You can pick and choose bits of rules and copy-paste to create a house rules document. It can serve my game. It does so legally. Anything I take off the wiki - rules, a setting, an adventure, anything at all - I can freely quote, republish on my site, comment on, change, edit, and so on. Legally. Fairly. And it allows me to publish my stuff in a nihilistic frenzy, and browse though other people's stuff when the mood strikes me. Which is why I'm inclined to support such projects. I'm not at all saying that I'm going to support this wiki. Both as a matter of generally being lazy and busy, and as there are compelling arguments against setting up such a wiki. But this post isn't about that, it's about why I want an OGC wiki, not why I don't want one. [/QUOTE]
