New wiki and Next Game: Friday March 24th

Next Friday night we’re planning on creating characters for our new Star Wars game… and, if we still have time, return to our Dragon’s Talons game.

Since setting up a wiki is a hassle, but I love to share the ability to create and edit, I got a free Peanut Butter wiki. It is easy to use– just click the “edit page” button on top.

Wiki main page. Links to the rest of the wiki.
New Republic Agents. The page I set up for the Star Wars game we’ll be playing (and that Ben will be running). I figure we can discuss characters and the like there… or in this thread if you’d rather.

Update: See the first comment for thorough instructions on making your edits to the wiki. Dad has successfully edited– have you? (Kev has too.)

To add to the wiki, here’s what you do.

1) Follow one of the above links (to the wiki main page, for example).
2) Click the right button, “Login to edit”
3) Type your name and email address. Type in the password, which is: dr****sta***s [You know what the *s are.]
4) Click on NewRepublicAgents. That leads you to a new page.
5) Click on PlayerCharacters. That leads you to a new page.
6) Click “Edit Page” (the second button from the left). The page will turn into text inside a scroll window, with the same text but some extra characters… for example, it begins:
!!Player Characters
!!! Planning:
The exclamation marks, double asterisks, etc., all are formatting things, described in the “StyleHelp” link on the right side.

Go ahead and edit the page– expand on your character or answer the questions.

7) When you’re done, hit preview. Does it look OK? If so, hit save and you’re done.
8) It does get easier with practice. Part of the reason I formatted the thing the way I did was to allow you to copy the parts you want– so if you want a numbered list, just start the line with #. If you want to bold something, surround it ** each side. Good Luck!
