[QUOTE="ScorpiusRisk, post: 5101513, member: 41601"] I had no idea Pathguy updated for 4th edition. He does all that work, and its allot of work, and all with the permission of wotc. I was actually under the impression that they had asked him not to do 4e due to the CB. Obviously, I was either wrong or something changed. If someone thinks they can do something similar to that, and has the time and willingness to do so, I would not be opposed. Even if we never used it I'm sure many would find it useful. I just have a hard time seeing that happen. The difference between plain text and a wiki. . . For one hosting. The text has to exist somewhere accessible. LEW does this with posts, but I find those hard to read. With a consistent format I think this doable. Its much easier to get a consistent format if we used something like word documents but then where would they be? I suppose you could submit your word document to the judges, and they could make a finalized version and submit it to the DMs at the start of the adventure. I'd rather not make more work for the judges, or require them to keep and secure information. Then there's ease of editing.
