Who Says Dice are Going Down the Tubes?


Getting Started

Here's how to start using this Wiki

  1. Create Login. Create a login by using the link at the top right. The name will be set to your Forum name (and someday we'll thus be able to make the integration tighter).
  2. Find Projects. Find a project that you're interested in. Here's a few ways to do so:
    1. The Major_Projects page will contain descriptions of all of the projects at this Wiki which span more than several pages.
    2. The Special:Categories page will list pages by category, which should allow you to look things up by game system.
    3. The search box at left will let you search on key words for projects you might be interested in.
  3. Enjoy. Once you've found a project, read, edit & contribute as you see fit. A Wiki is about not just being a passive reader, but also being a creative participant!
  4. Discuss. Also, free free to talk about this Wiki, announce your projects, request help, or whatever else over at the Wiki Forum.

What This Project Is For

Vegeto's Bones is a scaleable dice rolling engine for value added resellers. The main purpose of this project is to provide a space for various community RPG projects that require dice. This includes people communally creating collections of resources for their favorite games. Likely, other networking discussions will come up too.

Value Added Resellers

Use this Wiki by creating your own projects! They may be multipage projects or singular resources (NPCs, monsters, spells, whatever) for your favorite game system.

The trick with any collection of resources like this is to keep it organized. Keep this in mind when editing your section(s).

A Few Hints on Page Editing

RPGnetWiki is built on MediaWiki, a simple, dynamic page editing program. It has a lot of simple formatting commands, most of which you'll see available from an editing bar when you edit a page. Please do use these. Here's a few other hints:

  1. Headers. Use headers on your pages. A level one header is marked by an equal (=) sign at the start and end (=Header=), a level two by two signs (==Smaller Header==), etc. If your page is long enough to have at least four headers, the Wiki will helpfully start including a table of contents.
  2. Links. In order for this sort of resource to be useful, pages need to be linked together. You can create links with bracketed text. Links can be either internal to this Wiki or to external pages. Here's an external link [http://www.xmail.net/vegeto/ddice.htm RPG Dice Roller], here's an internal link [[Main Page]].
  3. Freedom. The whole purpose of a Wiki is community design. If you see something that you want to contribute to, you should do so. (And, conversely, if you put something on this site, it should be because you welcome other contributions.)
  4. More Info. Visit the main MediaWiki Site for more info.

Feel free to click the edit tab on any page, just to see what some basic formatting looks like. (This page is locked, to keep all the basic info there, but you can edit most other pages in the Wiki.)
