If you want to help then sure, im just coming up with ideas atm but feel free to help. By ideas i mean coming up with appearence, abillity scores, and some other things. If you have some other app like discord or something we ould chat there so it would be easier. --Imjustagolem

Unfortunately, I don't do social media, so either email or through this is my best method of communication. --Cosmos (talk) 21:03, 22 December 2018 (MST)

Absolute Darkness

Sorry for the late reply. The original author of this spell was Grauals, but he has not been active here for 2 years. Be bold and edit the spell however you see fit. Marasmusine (talk) 07:01, 1 January 2019 (MST)

Okay, sounds good. The spell is really unclear so yeah. --Cosmos (talk) 05:13, 2 January 2019 (MST)

Request

Hi Cosmos! I noticed some Pokémon sourcebook work you done and was curious if you could add a {{delete}} template if you are going to blank pages because you moved contents. Or if you intend to use the page, don't delete the categories at the bottom. As you can here, Uncategorized Pages, has a list of Pokémon pages needed attention amongst numerous others since I been lazy :p
Any help would be great keeping things tidy on the site. ~ BigShotFancyMan (talk) 10:25, 14 January 2019 (MST)

Thank you so much :) ~ BigShotFancyMan (talk) 13:12, 15 January 2019 (MST)

No problem :) just had to copy and paste in every page XD --Cosmos (talk) 18:36, 15 January 2019 (MST)

List of Admins

Hey Cosmos! I saw your question about who is or isn't an admin and you can always find a list of them here: List of Admins. ~ BigShotFancyMan (talk) 08:59, 18 January 2019 (MST)

Alright, thanks. --Cosmos (talk) 12:36, 18 January 2019 (MST)

Harry Potter

Could there be a "magic item" called an Arcane Newspaper? (It is based upon The Daily Prophet newspaper in the Harry Potter Books.) --63.142.81.74 14:17, 16 February 2019 (MST)

Uh. Why are you asking me? And doesn't seem like there is a magic item named Arcane Newspaper. What I don't know is if there is or isn't anything similar to it. --Cosmos (talk) 14:26, 16 February 2019 (MST)

You took an interest in Redrum's carpet question so I thought why not ask you. --63.142.81.74 14:47, 16 February 2019 (MST)

Oh. ;-; --Cosmos (talk) 15:02, 16 February 2019 (MST) PS I have seen your IP many times, why don't you get an account?

???

Are you an Admin or a Wannabe Admin? --Redrum 14:54, 16 February 2019 (MST)

*laughs* I am not an Admin, but I would be lying if I said I don't have any ambition to be an Admin. I haven't been a Wikian for long though, and I haven't exactly shown any traits important to being an Admin, so yeah. --Cosmos (talk) 14:58, 16 February 2019 (MST)

Pokémon

I see that you must like Pokémon. Up to a point, I can see the appeal but I don't like it that much. --Redrum 15:05, 16 February 2019 (MST)

Yup, been playing the games and collecting the cards since I was six or seven. I tried working on the sourcebook, but it's too much work for me :P --Cosmos (talk) 15:08, 16 February 2019 (MST)

Thanks

Thanks Cosmos for the idea but I will just keep it on my page thank you for looking out for me and I hope to become better friends with you over time.

Discord

I saw you ask about this in the tavern, but by the time I saw it you had already left. The link to the discord server is here; to verify your username on the server use this discussion. Note that you'll need a verified email address on Discord to use our server; this is to stop spammers. — Geodude (talk | contribs | email)‎‎ . . 16:35, 6 March 2019 (MST)

Rats, Geodude beat me to it. Have fun! Rorix the White (talk) 17:24, 6 March 2019 (MST)

Cosmos, I have been using the signature button deal. You do not need to remind me, but thinks from reminding me. --Redrum 18:25, 6 March 2019 (MST)

Pokémon

Lettin you kno https://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Pokémon_(5e_Sourcebook) is under development!

A little help?

alright, i hope i'm not messing anything up and this is the correct way to contact you on here but hi! i'm d8nkmemelord, creator of the multiplanar airship and stinger pages. i've noticed that you have left a tag on these posts for a missing template, however i'm uncertain of what template is missing and i would like some help in fixing it. i'm still fairly new to dnd wiki and its configurations. I hope that i have caught you at an opportune time and that i have not accidentally messed up the page. i eagerly await your response and thank you for your time,

-Sincerely, d8nkmemelord

Hey there, yeah, I remember doing those edits. And I would like to apologize lol because that was a mistake on my part. I looked at those pages and with the first glance at it's identifier (Equipment) and the looks of the page itself, I had assumed it was missing a template. I didn't realize that those two pages were from the Mounts & Vehicles category, which has a different template than the more familiar regular equipment. Again, my apologies ^^ --Cosmos (talk) 14:22, 2 August 2019 (MDT) (p.s, when signing your comments, use --~~~~)

Well thank you for fixing it and don't worry. it's pretty easy to make mistakes on the wiki as i've noticed so don't worry about it. But thank you for fixing your error and thank you for the signing tip! i hope you have an excellent day and thank you for your time.

-Sincerely, d8nkmemelord

Thanks for understanding! Also, I'm not sure if I was fully clear on the signature; if you type in two dashes and four tildes, without the nowiki tags, (like this, --~~~~), it'll result in this ---> --Cosmos (talk) 11:37, 3 August 2019 (MDT), which allows people to see your user page, talk page, and contributions without much of a hassle.

Hi

I started on this wiki late July of 2019, and I felt lonely :(, so I just wanted to say hi. Also, I made a new 5e Creature, an elemental, Lord Chaos. Feel free to check it out but please do not edit it.

- Me0wFish

Hi there! Sorry for the late response, I haven't checked in for some time. Thanks for popping in for the greeting! I'll make sure to check out your creature! :) --Cosmos (talk) 06:34, 14 August 2019 (MDT)

Alien Technology

Hey Cosmo! I started working on the Alien Technology page again. I plan to finish it sometime by the end of the week, and I would like your help, specifically ideas for vehicles and alien equipment. Let me know if you would like to help, and brainstorm ideas in the meantime. Or don't. It's a free country. Anyways, help would be appreciated, if you have the time. --PickleJarPete (talk) 10:55 pm, 7th October 2019 (CST)

Oh, thanks for the heads up! I'll see if I can come up with anything, and I'll be sure to let you know. I haven't really been active on D&D Wiki lately. --Cosmos (talk) 20:18, 9 October 2019 (MDT) P.S. it's Cosmos, you're missing an "s" xD

Wielder of the Signs of the Zodiac (5e Class)

This was marked for delete recently. I've changed it to abandoned as that is what appears has occurred. If you still want the article, could you change abandoned to {{WIP}} or if you see no future for it, then revert it back to delete and we'll get it deleted instead! Cheers :-)   ~BigShotFancyMan   talk   10:53, 9 December 2019 (MST)

I've copied the whole thing into a Google Doc of my own, but based on my current pace of working on homebrew stuff, I'm not sure if I'll actually make any updates for a few months. IDK if a WIP for several months is acceptable LOL. --Cosmos (talk) 11:13, 11 December 2019 (MST)

We've got multiple articles with WIPs longer than a few months, but this is undesireable if I understand community consensus correctly since there isn't a hard rule. A sub-userpage is always welcome which could work like your google doc except dandwiki hosts it and we'd all be able to "watch" it or help collaborate if you wanted that. If you're happy with what you did, and don't mind its deletion we can do that too. Nothing to major at all :-)   ~BigShotFancyMan   talk   11:24, 11 December 2019 (MST)

Okay, I think I'll be good with a deletion. Thanks. --Cosmos (talk) 10:49, 16 December 2019 (MST)

Your phoenix stuff

I wasn't sure when the next time you'd be on discord was so I figured I'd drop off my comments here, along with some carried sentiments of others who looked over your phoenix traits.

• The term "nonmagical fire damage" is confusing, since most of the time, fire damage is not differentiated. Maybe this is something specific to your campaign? If so, ignore this point.
• There was some concerns the dice were too high or that phoenix soul should be a class feature instead. Not sure if that was because they didn't read your disclaimer about you playing in a higher difficulty campaign. I think it's fine in that context.
  

All in all, LGTM--Yanied (talk) 08:02, 10 March 2020 (MDT)

Oh goodness, it's been a while since I checked D&D Wiki also LOL. Thanks for the tips. About the "nonmagical fire damage" phrasing, I was thinking in the sense of there being a difference in fire damage dealt by, say, a campfire, versus fire damage dealt by a firebolt spell. I didn't realize that there isn't an official differentiation of magical fire damage versus nonmagical. --Cosmos (talk) 11:02, 20 April 2020 (MDT)
