Bloody hell...

Post by Rotku »

I just descovered this:

http://www.alandfaraway.org/docs/Player ... pPantheons

Why the fuck hasn't someone mentioned this before? It's bloody amazing! Who went to all that work to copy everything across, and why didn't they tell anyone about it? Or at least not me! It's not even listed on the main Player Wiki page!

I can see HEEGZ's, Blackwill's and McJ's name listed down on some pages, so a big thanks to you guys (not that they're around much any more...)

Was playing around with some ideas for the APM and tried to create a new page called Bane, and lo and behold, there was already one!

That saves me so many hours of work it's not even remotely funny!

Agreed, i found that a couple nights back as well.

Now if only i could find the approved ALFA domains list for each god id edit them in so that page could be a one stop resource for your deity needs.

*looks around for the Valsharess*
Didn't we run into some copyright infringement issues related to stuff like this a few years ago?

I'm sure Mikayla remembers the issues with the APM that came up when it had to be redone.

Perhaps this is why no one was really told about that page?

Though, I might direct everyone's attention to the back cover of Faiths and Pantheons -- it's published under the open gaming lisence; as long as we don't publish info on how to statistically create or level up characters, we're good.

The copyright issues were about maps. IIRC, the brand manager said that we couldn't publicly disseminate WotC proprietary art. I think that the open gaming logo on the back of F&P and putting this behind a password on the player wiki would cover us. If we get a cease and desist we would, of course, cease and desist.

That taken care of, I have no recollection of anybody copying all of this over!
Enjoy the game

And that map issue's gone anyway, since WOTC has posted the map themselves since then.

It was copied over from HAZE's old WIKI, iirc. Prior to someone (possibly Mulu?), pointing it out, it even used to refer to ALFA as "haze" in the introductory paragraph!

fyi they are showing up as editable to me, so a UG must have access rather than an individual. You may want to change that.

Na, it's part of the Player Wiki. All players are allowed to edit it.

That's the great thing about the wiki. Find something missing, you can add it in :P

Once the approved NWN2 clerical domains are nailed down (currently posted list is tentative) ill slowly work through each god to add in the ALFA approved Domains.
