This is the page where we will put the meta-info for the Reality Hacking 101 Lexicon Game.

Starting with:

The Scholars

Here are the 'scholars' who are contributing to this project (i.e., the characters and the people who run them):

(Format for entries:

  • (scholar name) (IC scholar bio)
    • (player name) (other info)

)

  • (no name yet) --leader of the project, by virtue of being the one who decided to put it together in the first place. Has seen most of the Reality Hacking that's happened over the last few years, and is trying to take a long view of things, including the potential benefits to "future generations". Made the controversial decision to have the Lexicon include selected techniques, rather than keeping them secret.
  • Professor Moira Tamarat -- A social historian of great renown, she shot to fame 20 years ago with her book entitled Romans Did It With Pikes, and has had many published since covering multiple periods of history. Her specialisation is people and social development. Her studies tend to look at both individuals and societies, but have been critised by some for over-glamourising certain aspects. Rival historian, Boris Baxter, once said that her books read more like a soap opera than any serious work of research. Nonetheless, they seem to sell well. Recently, her attention has turned to more modern matters and her latest book was entitled Silver Runaways - The People Process. As such, she has chosen to participate in this new Lexicon project. Some say she may have ulterior motives though. Rumour is that she is heavily in debt to the Mob right now.

Entry Format

Here's a quick-and-dirty template--the page title should be "RH101:Foo" (replacing Foo with the subject of the entry):

Here place basic data about the subject.

==SubHeading==
More information about the subject.
Link back to [[RH101:Foo_1]]
Link forward to [[RH101:Foo_2|Alternate link text]]

[[Category:RH101|Foo]]

Quick explanation: the page title will appear at the beginning of the page (as a 'Level-1 header'). The paired equals signs mean a level-2 header. The pipes in the Wiki links make the alternate text appear instead of the original text; the pipe in the Category Link controls where the page appears in the category page. (Without it, everything appears under 'RH101')
