Greetings and salutations, fellow D&D-geeks! In an age where soundbytes and grafix-accelerators tend to rule the RPG experience that most new players know, it is not only good to see that there are so many P&P players still haunting the genre, but also good to see that there is a place where they can still bounce good ideas off of one another. I applaud the resources made available to both Players and DM’s through this site, and the work required to maintain it. Good Job, and Thank You!

Personally, I’ve been a player of The Game since the Eighties (yeah, I’m that old), and a DM since the early Nineties. I’ve run games for all age ranges, for groups with varying levels of seriousness, and for all competence levels (new players are much more my favorite over experienced ones as they tend to meta-game less, and seem to get more enjoyment from the game experience as opposed to it’s rules and statistics).

I look forward to interacting with other DM’s and the D&DWiki-ThinkTank, as you can only run a game for so long before running out of new ideas. So, yes, I will borrow, bastardize, and otherwise warp what I find here to fit my game. I apologize in advance, as I can be very sarcastic, (run games for power-gamers long enough, and sarcasm will set in…I promise you) and some of that mindset may rub off on you guys…if you weren’t sarcastic already, that is.

Thanks for the welcome, and...GAME ON!!

Welcome to D&D Wiki!

Welcome!

Hello JayKay, and welcome to D&D Wiki. I hope you have been enjoying this site, and I hope you have been finding the information here on D&D Wiki useful. I am an admin (and, actually, the owner as well) here on D&D Wiki along with a couple other people who make up "The Face" of D&D Wiki. An entire list of admins can be found here.

Questions

If you have any question about D&D Wiki, D&D, formatting on D&D Wiki, what day today is, or whatever, an admin will, many times, give the best answer. Please feel free to ask any admin any question (ask me a question!).

Formatting

Formatting on D&D Wiki (or any wiki for that matter) can be very difficult, and if you need help a good place to start is Help:Editing on Wikipedia (or even their Introduction page). This will explain the basic wiki formatting and should provide quite a few useful links that explain more specific areas of wiki formatting. Again, if you have any questions about formatting on D&D Wiki please ask them as, I imagine, anybody will be more than happy to help you get them answered.

Community

A strong and welcoming community exists on D&D Wiki, and I am sure you will find it rather nice. Most discussions take place on content talk pages, however please feel free to walk into The Tavern (our local chat room) and talk to some fellow D&D Wikians. Anyway, on D&D Wiki, possibly since discussions are never deleted, people try to be nice. This means please follow Wikipedia's guidelines on Civility and Etiquette when discussing anything. And, if an argument does arise, please use Wikipedia's Dispute Resolution to make sure everyone comes out happy. Also, on a pretty different note, to ensure people know who posted what, please sign your name after a post with four tildes (~~~~) or by clicking on the signature icon. This will automatically produce your name and the date. Anyway, I hope you come to love the close-knit D&D Wiki community and welcome again, you are now a D&D Wikian. --Green Dragon 17:36, 19 August 2008 (MDT)
