AkashicRecord:News

Arcana Evolved Portal

As some of you might have noticed, there were some updates on the akashic record (All of which can be accessed via the Arcana Evolved Portal):

New Compilations:

• Witches
• Champions
• Totem warriors
• Runes

Let us know if we missed something (or even better, add it yourself on the wiki, it's here for that)

New Tools:

• There is a fully-linked Map of the Diamond Throne (of course you have to add content to the places now;))
• The new "Create Page" Button allows you to select templates for creating your new page (There will be some documentation on how to add your own templates to the list) It's on the Top-Left of every page below the search Button.
• A an Object Loresight Generator which takes its information from lists on the wiki (so you can edit the lists if you want, not all of them are done)

New pages in the AE SRD

• Armors

The Arcana Evolved Portal is the place to go for all things Arcana Evolved. It has been reworked and now has a completely new look and feel. The Arcana Evolved System Reference Document has received a lot of work as well, and it can now be enjoyed in its entirety via the easy access SRD Menu.

The next focus for Arcana Evolved is to expand the new AE Play section, for custom content for AE, and tips on roleplaying in the Lands of the Diamond Throne.

Happy reading!

We now have spoiler tags available to everybody. They are used by writing:

<spoiler>something</spoiler>

or

<spoiler type="DM">something</spoiler>

The last tag produces a special DM spoiler tag. If you see a spoiler tag on a page, consider whether you want to see a spoiler for the content you are currently reading. If you do, simply click it once and it opens up the content.

For an example of use see Siege on Ebonring Keep.

We have now finished the Proof of Concept on a Wiki Arcana Evolved character sheet, looking as much like the real deal as possible. The sheet uses templates - a feature much harder to write than to use. Writing is all done, and they are ready to be used. Currently two character sheets exist here on the wiki. The concept sheet for Rineth (the demo) and a real player called Zeix Everleaf (not 100% complete yet).

To produce a standard AE Ability box simply write on a page:

{{CSAbilityScores|16|16|15|12|9|11}}

You can also click the button in the classic editor (see the help page for more details on this). The ability scores are in the usual order.

The Portals
The topbar above here links directly to three "portals". These portals can be AE, IH and Ptolus focused. Pretty much like portals on Wikipedia (see the top bar on Wikipedia), e.g. the Arts, History, Mathematics portals.
Each portal comes with its own set of skins (See help page on skins and the Skin section of your preferences)

Help
Here are a few pages that need your help. If you're looking for good help pages on how to do markup, a few help pages are available here, but it's highly recommended to use the help pages on meta.wikimedia.org instead.

It has been attempted to adapt the Delver theme on the wiki to change colors to match the book. Some of the concept pages can be seen here: {{#lst: Help:Skins|ptolus-concept-pages}}
