Tormak's been busy with the rules & lore stuff. I linked most of the sidebar things to forum posts (some are dynamically generated like the deity lists or just too clumsy to layout in forumspeak like the mythal table).

That should make corrections a lot easier.

I dumped the Credits page. It was a pain in the butt to keep up-to-date and I didn't do updates for ages anyway. Many people worked and still work on Amia, that should be enough info.

Maybe PaladinOfSune and Tormak can make some grand history of Amia the Server?

O dear. You'd be best having Sune and yourself do that. You know more about the behind the scenes and who to properly credit than i do since you've been the module people.

O, also, anyone who sees that little "Race info coming soon" in the subraces page is free to submit that info themselves if they like. We never did manage to fill in some of our holes, silly as that sounds, after 5 years....

May hap you could link some sources where they could find information, like source books in there as well? for more indepth of such.

Well, Races of Faerûn and whatever regional books may be useful. Half-Elves often live in Aglarond, for example, so a word or two about that place might be in order. Half-drow, I don't know. I have no idea what to do with fey, so I never touched them with a ten-foot pole.

I'm not sure where else half-drow are prominent, but I know one of the famous examples is the C'rinti of Dambrath; half breeds of drow and the barbarian humans of the region. But that's pretty far from Amia, or even Mulhorand/Alamber (as the nearest mainland portal junction in the module) so I'm not sure if that's necessarily something you'd want to focus on for the purposes of the subrace on Amia.

Nooo!

I liked being able to see the people who made this place what it is x.x

Hardly any of them are around any more, from what I remember. >_>

Still. It's like saying you could give a crap about the people who pour their heart and soul into this place during it's current era, if you don't care who came before. It's simply setting future people up to disregard the actions of their priors.

I empathize with Wolfking, but the credits did have some upkeep and while I tried to work on a new set, with all the new content going in the updating was going to be.. interesting to say the least.

If there's enough interest, Disco, would you be agreeable to a more generic Credits page? (Not going into detail about what was contributed, simply that the individual contributed to the Mod in X role *IE: Builder, Coder etc.*)

Though I must say I liked to know exactly who worked on X area or Y area, I can agree that at least a simplified version would be good.


Perhaps if something is considerably large / important / etc, it could be noted by the individual's mentioning?

I don't know if I could do a whole writeup on fey, but having successfully requested one in the past, I wouldn't mind collaborating with some others about the race.

Post subject:  Re: Wrules and Wrore
I'm not even sure if there's agreement on what exactly the race is (there have been pixies, sprites and simply "faeries" which don't exist in D&D approved, IIRC), and whether you should or shouldn't use the non-canon information posted in R&L. (You can, obviously, but I don't think it's required that you buy into all that cycle nonsense.)

If making a credits page keeps from making Amia more fun to play, then it should be a no-brainer.

It's not as easy as it sounds. Most areas have been touched by a lot of people. Who gets the credits? The original maker, the dude that debugged it, the guy that did the overhaul? And who's the creator of an area anyway? The person making the layout and the scripting, or the one decorating it? And what to do with area changes for events? There's a lot of work in those, but that work will be gone sooner or later. Doesn't that deserve a mention?

So, in the end I think it's easier to simply skip this exercise and accept that it's all community work. And finally: if I can deal with the loss of credits, anybody can. I didn't even start making a comprehensive list of what I have done because it would be a job in itself.

Disco; if I was you I might also poke Rogaku for server history info, he's a veritable wellsink.

He had been for the Credits stuff.

I have a working copy but they aren't up to date anymore.
