Comment on “Starting at 1st”

Alexis, responding to your point above:

Wanting to start a wiki for one's own world requires that your houserules are extensive enough to require real documentation. That alone means that anyone playing by the book or mostly by the book is right out. And of course you've also got to have actual persistence in playing the same world and ruleset, which means long-term play.

Take those requirements together and guess how many DMs satisfy them both. One in ten thousand? Dunno.

(I'm bloody-minded enough about text editing to be unsatisfied with a website/wiki tool that I can't run myself by editing files on my computer and uploading them, instead of a web-based editor like your wiki host uses. Thus I still don't have my own slice of the web for my game/world ... but I do have a "wiki", it just lives on my hard drive. Eventually it'll be time to sort out the whole "discoverability" thing and slap it onto the web.)
