Formatting

Syntax can be very difficult, and if you need help a good place to start is Help:Editing on Wikipedia (or even their Introduction page). This will explain basic wiki formatting and should provide quite a few useful links that explain more specific areas of wiki formatting. Help:Portal also provides detailed explanation of information important specifically to this community.

Attribution

Hi DevonTheTaylor; I've noticed you've been adding the category DevonTheTaylor to pages you've created. Per Help:Attribution Policy, no attribution or claims of authorship should be on the articles themselves; this includes username categories. To that end, I've removed that category from all pages that had it. If you're worried about receiving credit for your work, don't be alarmed; the "History" tab keeps track of who contributed what to each page. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. — Geodude (talk | contribs | email)‎‎ . . 22:12, 2 November 2020 (MST)

Invitation to Participate in 5e Rlyeh Development

I'm interested in starting an environment or campaign development of "Sunken Rlyeh.” I’m contacting you because you have in the past created Lovecraft/Cthulhu-related material, or otherwise indicated some interest in the topic; so I’m hopeful that you would be interested in supporting and participating in this development effort.

I have developed some ideas about the nature of this underwater city, its inhabitants, and some special rules pertaining to interactions and the city's non-Euclidean geometry. I've also made some encounter tables and a table of city locations/structures. The concept is that below the surface of a prime material ocean, at the point farthest from any surface landmass, is a gate to the Elemental Plane of Water. On the other side of the gate is the city of Rlyeh, which sank and reformed itself as an underwater sphere. The sunken city is dark and sinister and slimy, and filled with many horrific denizens (but appropriate for the level of the adventuring party).

The encounter tables include one for the prime material ocean surface, a deep water table appropriate for either side of the gate area, and one for the city itself. The encounters include creatures from standard 5e material, as well as many D&D Wiki creatures.

I think that the effort could be successful even if contributions from multiple authors are contradictory, because… well, it’s Rlyeh. My notion is that there would be sub-categories like creatures/inhabitants, movement and vision/visability rules, geography (structures, distances, etc), encounters, traps, and the like. Any author could place relevant material in an existing category, or create a new one. I’m hopeful that any material deposited could be used with slight or no modification. Conflicting rules or other info could be optional and at the DM’s discretion, or only applicable in certain locations in the city, or whatever.

Please reply if you are interested in participating in this activity.

I can't promise to make it a full time thing, but I will help out when I can. --DevonTheTaylor (talk) 09:38 PM, 9 November 2020 (PST)
I have created "Sunken Rlyeh (5e Environment)" and entered what I have so far, except for the four tables. I would appreciate if you take a look and make whatever contributions you have time to make... I would also appreciate if you can point me in the right direction on getting Excel tables into the right format for the wiki...

Everything I've got at this point is entered under the "Sunken Rlyeh" Environment, with a lot of help from Yanied. If you're interested, please take a look. I'd love to keep building this up with additional ideas from other contributors... --Dain (talk) 15:02, 14 November 2020 (MST)
gollark: While sufficiently large/powerful organizations can probably get around whatever security measures you're using *somehow*, I think current security stuff can be good enough that this is impractical and won't really happen.
gollark: Not really.
gollark: Well, yes, probably.
gollark: As far as I can tell, basically every website supports HTTPS nowadays, but DNS over HTTPS is still rare partly because of governments and ISPs being annoying about it.
gollark: I mean generally. Look at DNS. They didn't even have DNS over HTTPS or DNSSEC until fairly recently, and they're still not widely used.
