Conclave / Carthax Sector wiki?

[MarcoSkoll]

Quite! It's proving a useful opportunity to readdress the background of some of my older characters. Mind you, I should probably be working on the Autumn Conclave, so someone smack me around the head if I'm doing too much to the wiki.

Good fun though, revising some of my older writing and coming up with new quotes. (I'm particularly fond of the page header for Silva Birgen's page.)

To the Cabals & Cells page. While I don't have any problem with people adding to the wiki (more people need to add their characters!), I think you might tread on a few toes if you have a Xeno race called 'Daleks' in Inquisitor...

I too found that rather jarring. Kinda like someone calling their Inquisitor Darth Vader or their psyker Gandalf. I've nothing against a Dalek inspired race in Inquisitor (or dropping Doctor Who references into Inquisitor for that matter), but 'Daleks' is too recognisable in my opinion. If I was going to borrow names of alien races from Doctor Who (and I probably have done at some point) I'd at least pick an obscure one that hardly anyone will have heard of.

EDIT: But in general I to am really happy with how this is progressing. So far I've just been posting old bits of background that I've written over the last few years but I plan to start adding some new stuff soon.

Sorry,  dionysus cell is an RP that I run at my school club, it includes daleks at the behest of one of my friends (actual DWho daleks).

[Kaled]

Maybe just refer to them on the Wiki as something like genetically engineered mutant xenos with mechanical travel machines. Or leave them as Daleks - it's up to you.

[RobSkib]

Wow! Okay, I've FINALLY written up all my PC's backstories. Maybe now I can get on with actually *painting* something

[Inquisitor Octavian Lars]

Renamed as Vervids [codename: thundercrackers] (actual "paradigm" daleks got in through a time vortex to velterax III)

[Van Helser]

I've joined the party and added write ups for the Antonine Amulets and Grundig Affair campaigns.  Mainly in character exposition, but I think it fits well.  I've tweaked the latter so that it's now entrenched in the Carthax Sector - it was originally in a sector of my own devising, but I think it works better now.

I'll probably add some character bios today as well.

Not nearly enough people are uploading pictures of the characters they post...

[MarcoSkoll]

Sorry about that. I really need to fix the paintjobs on both Marco and Silva, then get better pictures. Or in Jax's case, actually finish her model. But I've subbed in her concept art for the meanwhile.

[Necris]

I need to find some pictures of my minis

[Macabre]

Okay, so I've started to fill out my characters background.

[Kaled]

Looking around the site, we're doing well with character profiles and the like but the sections on the game could do with a boost, so if anyone has any thoughts on any aspect of the game from advice on stats and abilities to discussion of character archetypes then please post them.

It would be good if the Wiki could offer advice for new players and maybe answer some of the common questions. For example, I saw on Warseer earlier someone asking if Death Cult assassins were a good choice for starting players - I already created sections for different archetypes and that's the sort of question I thought we could maybe answer on those pages, as well as maybe ideas for different types of death cultist, what types of warband they'd fit in and so on - i.e. the types of question the rulebook doesn't really offer any help with. Also, maybe we could have a 'Rules clarifications' section for some of the commonly asked questions, such as 'how does injury work?'.

So please, if you have a spare half hour, please take a look at those sections and see if you can think anything to contribute. Also, if you write a good post on that type of thing on a forum somewhere then maybe consider also posting it on the Wiki.

[Macabre]

Then might the wiki be a good place to host the beta's for INQRulebook2?

[Kaled]

Personally, I'd keep that separate so as not to confuse new players - however if the majority of people (and importantly PrecinctOmega) feel differently, then that's fine.

[RobSkib]

I've got a lot of spare time on my hands so I'll give the ones I know a little bit about a once-over. I don't really know how good my writing is though, so please feel free to correct anything or tell me it's a pile of plop so I can re-do it.
