Strict Rules!

  • NEVER add any original material directly into SRD. Errata is an exception.
    • Adding errata: use <del>delete tages</del> to mark changed section and {{errata|errata template for corrected material|1.52.1}} with the version of errata file used. This way everyone can see what has been changed without looking at page's history.
  • All new material must be separated from SRD.
  • This wiki is in English. Do not add material in other languages.
    • Names are exceptions, they can be of any language, but use only western alphabet, or at least html entities for non-iso-8859-1 -letters. We try to avoid Unicode conversions here.
    • Don't use weird letters in page names even if the page is for a character with a weird name, for example.

How to Add Original Material

  • Never copy any copyrighted material unless it's yours, and if it is, it will forever be under CC-BY-4.0 license.
  • If you don't want that, don't add your material into this wiki.
  • Place everything under a category, which is usually the name of your campaign setting, "extra rulebook", or an adventure module.
  • Don't repeat SRD material (unless it's some really small bit such as how to calculate DC for something). Instead [[link]] all SRD things from your material.

About Images

  • Images are an exception: you keep the copyright. Also, you are allowed to add a link to the source or your portfolio.
  • Never use AI images!
  • Avoid using Public Domain images (yeah, I know the logo has one, but it was too great not to be used).
