Ab initio

Welcome

Hey, since you've been pretty active lately on D&D articles, and have a long history of interest in them, would you be interested in joining the D&D Wikiproject? :) BOZ (talk) 03:05, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

Hey there, well good to see you! Thanks for the kind words, they are encouraging. :) I say, do as you've been doing - pick a spot, and help out! The WikiProject has a lot of resources for finding things that need work, and we're always trying to refine that process, so check that out. Good to have you around!

FR gods publication histories

Hey, thanks for fixing that! That's been a stumbling block for me for awhile now. I've been trying to get those down for the FR gods. I have yet to fix the elemental gods (Akadi, Grumbar, Kossuth, Istishia), as well as Moander, Waukeen, and Tymora, and some of the other minor demigods and such. Any idea which of these, besides the ones I've already sourced to it, appeared in Dragon #54? I was using planewalker.com as a source, but none of the gods I mentioned above are listed there as having been in #54. I always try to start out with the first appearance... BOZ (talk) 22:51, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, that article in Dragon #54 is the key source. My copy of the magazine is in storage, and I don't know where my CD-ROM is either, or I'd supply the page #'s. Greenwood describes how to use Deities & Demigods (then new) as a tool to build your own pantheon for a home campaign world, and in many cases, notes how the gods of the (then-private and unpublished) Forgotten Realms were derived from DDG sources. The list in Dragon 54 is noticeably shorter than the modern list, but I think almost all the gods that appear in the original 1987 FR boxed set appear in Dragon 54. (Interestingly, there are a handful in Dragon 54 that don't appear later, e.g., some animal gods.) Truly Trivial (talk) 20:26, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

OK, thanks. I was hoping you'd had access to it. :) Well, I'm hoping to get the CD-ROM reinstalled in my computer some time this month, so I'm going to be adding sources hardcore at that point. ;) BOZ (talk) 04:46, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

By the way, just wanted to point out that we have added a lot of useful resources at the Wikipedia:WikiProject Dungeons & Dragons page, in case you haven't seen them already. :) BOZ (talk) 04:47, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Gen Con

Got anything that can help this article out, particularly the history prior to the Adkison sale in 2002? It seems like the history section is split roughly in half between 2003-on, and pre-2003! Recentism at its worst. :) BOZ (talk) 20:32, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Alas, no. I never went to GenCon in the glory days. I did, however, find that CD-ROM and will be adding the FR deity page refs. Truly Trivial (talk) 23:44, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Cool, thanks! :) Anything you mighty find in the CD-ROM archives about Gen Con's history would also help right about now. ;) BOZ (talk) 03:28, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Tomb of Horrors

You like? :) We just got the article to Good Article status. Next project, I think, should be Isle of Dread. BOZ (talk) 04:07, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Yep, that's how I see it. We might want to examine it a little before nominating, but it's pretty good already; a poorly-considered AFD will sometimes have that unintended side effect. It worked for Dwellers of the Forbidden City as well (currently up for GA also). BOZ (talk) 04:11, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Ravenloft (module)

Ravenloft has been nominated again for FAC. :) BOZ (talk) 23:26, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Creator credits

Sounds good to me, as long as the creator credits can be easily identified. In the case of aboleth, that is easy because we know David Cook wrote the module they first appeared in. For some creatures and characters, they first appear in books written by multiple authors, so we would need a source where one of them says "that one was created by me/someone else". In fact, whenever we can get a source that talks about a monster's invention the better, such as we have with the beholder and the mind flayer, or the neat origin story of the owlbear, rust monster, and bulette. 108.69.80.49 (talk) 12:28, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
