== What I'd like to see wikified == As a fan of Dungeons and Dragons, I would like to see a wiki dedicated to the canon of '''every''' campaign setting. This would help people look up obscure facts about their favorite game world. I think that one canon wiki per campaign setting is the best way to deal with this. There are some campaign settings that have much larger followings than others and a minority campaign setting (like Jakandor) could easily be swamped if it was mixed in with a more popular campaign setting (like Forgotten Realms). Some people like to create fan material that builds onto their favorite D&D world. For written stories, this is known as fan-fiction, but Dungeons & Dragons is a game where GMs are expected to create adventures and build the rest of the universe. Home made D&D material is sometimes called fanon (as in fan created canon). I'm not sure that fanon and canon can share the same wiki (without readers being confused by fanon polution of canon), but wikis would be a good tool to help people create a body of fanon for their favorite D&D world. So my current opinion is that each D&D campaign setting needs a '''pair''' of wikis. One canon wiki, that provides a snapshot of all the elements of the official published material. And one fanon wiki that encourages GMs to share the material they have created to support the official material. === Spelljammer Wiki === * I am the creator of '''[[w:c:spelljammer|Spelljammer Wiki]]'''. A wiki on Wikia that hopes to create a hyperlinked encyclopedia of Spelljammer canon. === Golariopedia === * At PathfinderWiki, you are more likely to see me doing minor edits to fix typos. There is no official connection between Pathfinder and Spelljammer, but I'm interested in the content about the planets and moons around [[Golarion]]. ====My contributions==== * [[Special:Contributions/David Shepheard|User contributions]] I also set up the [http://www.wikiindex.org/PathfinderWiki Golariopedia article on WikiIndex]. === Places outside Golariopedia where you can see my work === If you are really interested in me then here is where you can find more of me: * I am one of moderators at the [http://www.thepiazza.org.uk/bb/viewforum.php?f=2 Spelljammer forum] on [http://www.thepiazza.org.uk/bb/index.php The Piazza] (a community dedicated to discussion of all D&D worlds) and also post in The Piazza's <s>[http://www.thepiazza.org.uk/bb/viewforum.php?f=30 3rd edition forum] where Pathfinder rules are discussed and its [http://www.thepiazza.org.uk/bb/viewforum.php?f=44 Other Worlds forum] where the Pathfinder setting is discussed</s> [http://www.thepiazza.org.uk/bb/viewforum.php?f=56 new Pathfinder forum], where both Pathfinder rules and the campaign setting are discused. * I have created one article on [http://www.spelljammer.org/ Beyond the Moons] (the '''''official''''' ''Spelljammer'' website) and contributed to the 3rd edition Spelljammer conversion. * I am webmaster for the [http://www32.brinkster.com/virtualeclipse/ Virtual Eclipse] (a science fiction role playing club) * I chat to friends in the [http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/publicmouth/ Public Mouth] group * I also spend some time talking to webmasters at the [http://sveit.com/forum/ Sveit community]. * I also edit articles on the English version of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Wikipedia], but as there is now a deletionist attack against most roleplaying articles, I'd prefer to work with D&D wikis, and other similar sources. === Want to ask me something or tell me something? === Pop over to my [[User_talk:David_Shepheard|discussion]] page and say hi.
