Dungeon on the wiki?  Schweet!

Maybe just get 'em all up for now, and more content/more detailed description later. But yeah, a synopsis for each adventure would be cool.

Are we going to do Dragon and Polyhedron, too? I know they were covered here, although not as in depth, and not across all editions.

I think we should.  Would save the trouble of reaching for the big box (in the case of Polys) or the Dragon archive (in the case of Dragon mags) whenever I have a question.....!

BTW, the Dungeon (with the table of contents) entry looks great!

Great! We'll get them in on that format for now. Have deleted reference to 'valuations' as suggested.

Hi there, I've been using Acaeum as a collecting resource for many years, and lurked in the forums for a couple years.  I do most of my chatting at Dragonsfoot and the Lejendary Adventure forums, but Acaeum is a beloved resource.  I am an ardent collector of all things 1e as well as all things Gygax.  I'll play any RPG but for some time have concentrated on 1e (and it's replicas) and Lejendary Adventure.

Soooo, I'm here to help make the LA section as complete as possible.  Deimos has done most of the work, but there are a few things I can add.

Thanks.

How do you delete a file you uploaded?
How do you rename a file you uploaded?

Hi Kersus,

There isn't a way to move uploaded files, as far as I can tell. To get rid of an uploaded file, put a link to it in

 http://wiki.acaeum.com/wiki/Requested_A ... _Deletions

and an admin will delete it.

I noticed that you started classifying the LA items as part of the 'Lejendary Earth' setting.  I don't know much about LA, but if all LA items are part of 'Lejendary Earth', then I wouldn't.  The reason is because people will peruse what is in the 'Lejendary Adventure' category, and then they'll go to the 'Lejendary Earth' category and get the same or nearly the same items, which will be boring.  It usually isn't useful to categorize by setting unless you're dealing with later editions of D&D.

Thanks for the deletion info.

That's a valid point, and it's possible it was a foolish move.  Not all LA material is specifically in LE.  Certain modules and accessories (a novel too) specifically state that they are, and others are just general.  There isn't really a ton of LA material yet, so it's hard to know what the future will bring and if there are ever to be more settings.  Thus far it's just LE and other.  The added complication that LE was devised to be able to incorporate any other setting within it's confines through portals.

I'm new to wiki and learning the language as well as the unwritten rules and such is coming to me.

Since the LA section is small it's easy to run around and make corrections to format and the like as well as altering things like whether to have a Lejendary Earth category.  

I'm also adding to the Hackmaster category and getting the hang of linking things back.  

I'm a learnin'.

Give me some feedback, good or bad. Or if this is what we're looking for, great.

I think it's fantastic, but looks lonely all by itself.  It'll be very handy later on if you can click on a contributor and locate all the Dragon articles they provided across the issues.

Thanks.  (I'm off to bed now. It's 1:00 a.m. here.)

Oh man how serendipitous. Dragon #33 was the first issue I ever bought off the shelf, and Dragon #34 was the first subscription issue I ever received.  As you can see by the table of contents, I was overwhelmed with all the crunchy goodness (not to mention an adventure inside!!!)  Plus I had just bought Divine Right and all the extra rules were awesome. Nice to see it get the full treatment!

Once the articles are categorised by author, you will be able to see which issues they contributed to. Check out Willie Walsh http://wiki.acaeum.com/wiki/Category:Willie_Walsh

To get article listings by author is a little more challenging though. Need to think about that.

I forgot to look inside the mag for the author - will do it today.

Sacn quality - 200 dpi.  Will see if I can get a better scan at 300 or 400 dpi.
Will the wiki allow an upload to overwrite?

It is hard to get a legible contents page in a small file size.  Mine are legible, but not perfect. I am scanning at 200dpi as well, but when converting my 'contents' page scans to jpgs, I have been clicking on options and upping the 'quality' of the save. Increasing dpi may be a better way to go - it again will depend on how much detail is lost when scaling down the image. I will experiment a bit more myself as well.

On the image page, you can click on 'upload a new version of this file' It will ask you to verify. If this does not work (it may be an admin only function), just change the name of the image on the product page and upload a new file. Use a slightly different name, e.g. Dragon34Ca
