Talk:Veriste

New page

Wow, PlagueBearer!!! You have been busy, right out of the chute, for sure! That's a lot of cool work on Veriste!! You've created an excellent page with plenty of information! You even used templates and wikilinks to plenty of pages, and linked to Veriste from another page, to make sure it wasn't an orphan! Thanks so much for all of that!

I added the {{LGpage}} template, so that it gets categorized with other similar pages. And I added a category, and tidied up a link or two. But, that's really a well-done article!

The only proviso I think I would mention is that it would be an even better if we could add some kind of citation to where the information is coming from within the LG Duchy of Urnst regional information. Was it included on a map, or is it's decription in one of the regional adventures? — Abra Saghast (talk) 13:49, 15 November 2024 (EST)

Abra Saghast, thank you. When the LG campaign came out, individual gaming groups got to create their own villages for the Adaptable modules. My gaming group that took place in Tacoma took it very seriously and we put in a bit of background lore for our village. I will get a spot on the map for you shortly as well as try to find the LG campaign information but as the LG campaign was 20 years ago, that may prove problematic. I know Veriste was part of the "Hopp to it!" interactive but I do not believe that was officially published. --PlagueBearer (talk) 17:11, 15 November 2024 (EST)

Abra Saghast Veriste is mentioned in "Hopp To It!" and "Where in the Cairn Hills is Sheriff Vor?" both were one round Living Greyhawk Interactives that were approved by the Duchy of Urnst's triad. I have a PDF of "Hopp To It!" as I was the one that wrote it. I was trying to update the citation and as of this writing, have not been able to figure it out. I can send you a copy of the adventure.--PlagueBearer (talk) 03:49, 16 November 2024

That's awesome, PlagueBearer!! Thanks so much for looking that up!

So, the general way to make citations is by using standard <ref> and </ref>. But the GloG wiki also has "Template:Cite sourcebook" to make preformatted citations which are put in Chicago Manual of Style format for you, with proper punctuation and order, etc. The basic syntax for those is {{csb|title (year)|page}} without <ref>, and no spaces between the phrase or sentence and the citation.

I happen to know a few old LG folks up in that area, so I asked around a little, and a friend of mine (who used to be one of the volunteers who helped the Triad) was telling me that (at least where they were in the DoU) the Town Project stuff was done by people who'd organized RPGA "Clubs" in the area. Was Veriste part of that, or was it just something written directly for the interactive adventure?

Or do you recall if y'all even had any kind of "Town Project" stuff like that?

Oh! Almost forgot ... there's a "signature" button in the editing bar for ease of use, or you can simply type four tildes: ~~~~ and Mediawiki will add your name and timestamp for you. — Abra Saghast (talk) 08:46, 16 November 2024 (EST)

Abra Saghast We are talking 20 years ago-ish but likely that is what it was called. We had to submit our town idea to the Triad for their approval. Our club was called the Upright Citizen's Coalition (UCC) and Shay Rockman was our nominal leader. -(PlagueBearer) 11/16/24

Image galleries

Abra Saghast I cant get the Reference to sit right after I put the image in for Gallery. What am I missing? PlagueBearer (talk) 06:50, 19 November 2024 (EST)

No worries, PlagueBearer! I gotcha!

So, it's just a matter of where an image goes, as to what code it uses. An image gallery like you were doing (which I've added to the article) is generated with the code similar to below; each image on a separate line, without [[ ]] and no "File:" at the beginning of the file name. Dimensions (px) or "thumb/left" are done automatically. — Abra Saghast (talk) 12:02, 19 November 2024 (EST)
