I have to agree with Kyrroeth and ask that you continue the 5E Dungeons & Dragons game. I am sure you can come up with another adventure for the young group to see how they continue and grow.

Introduction Aericsteele

Thank you Kyrroeth! I have very much enjoyed running the 5e game thanks in large part to you and the other players and the quality of everyone's posts. Initially I had planned on just running the one adventure and then moving on to a different system/game but I admit the players have managed to get me invested in the characters and wanting to develop the setting more.

I will be out of town this weekend. I should continue to have access to internet but I may not have the opportunity to post with much frequency. I am taking the family to Santa's Workshop for the Halloween weekend… sort of a strange mini vacation, I know, but anyway my weekend is likely to be fairly busy. I will do my best to post something though, even if it is somewhat brief.

Introduction Aericsteele

I am sure you will get back to the games as soon as you are able. Do not worry we are not going anywhere yet. Have a good time on your mini vacation and enjoy family time.

Aericsteele Introduction

My Dungeons & Dragons 5E game involves a home brew setting/world that I am trying to develop cooperatively with the players and I wonder if this site would be able to offer a way to help facilitate that development, or at maybe give me a means to gather, organize and edit all of the setting information and contributions from the players? I understand that the opening post of the game threads can be repeatedly edited by the game master and that this allows for some updates, primarily in the form of the games policies. However, can these opening posts adequately contain and organize a large amount of setting information?

I would like a way for new players to be able to reference setting information that has been established through game play as well as through my own input into the development of the setting, and I'm not sure if the opening post is the best place for this information since it could become fairly lengthy. It may be possible though to format/edit the Support thread's opening post to handle policy information while the opening post of the Main Thread could handle setting information or at least a "What the Characters Know" section, but I don't know how lengthy this section might get. Maybe some of it would involve prioritizing information and not throwing out a bunch of setting information that is likely to be irrelevant so that the opening posts can contain this information?

Any input or advice from Admin or Support on this?

The reference information needs to be edited periodically or just posted and kept like an index?

Basically yes; I'm thinking of something similar to a Wiki page or maybe a thread in which there is an index post and in which I could make a post that covers a particular topic, but I would need to occasionally edit these posts as well. For example one post might include information about magic in the setting while another details various factions, NPC's or locations, another might cover various cultures or cultural practices, that kind of thing. Maybe in the index post I could place player contributions? But this information would potentially change or expand so I would need a way to edit all of it so on the other hand, if there was a whole new thread created then this one game would consist of five different threads, and I don't know if that is getting a bit unruly.
