Killer Shrike Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 Made some significant additions and improvements to the D&D3e to HERO System Conversion documents: D&D 3e to HERO System Conversion Resources Also added some new Package Deals here and there and some new documents as well as overhauling some of the old resource pages. I will also be going through the various and sundry Fantasy HERO pages provided on the site and updating them to better fit the overall look & feel changes Ive been instituiting site-wide over the course of the last year.

Curufea Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Re: D&D3e to HERO System Conversion Update I'm wondering if your site might benefit from a Content Management System of some sort - keep track of articles, sections and dates modified - create RSS feeds, and most importantly - compile articles into PDF downloads.

Curufea Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Re: D&D3e to HERO System Conversion Update Joomla. It's halfway there (ie it's free - but not particularly easy to maintain and setup). I'm still running on the hype of an online magazine I setup and maintain going live http://www.newceres.com Although I'm not that big on the colour scheme and templates the organisers chose. Drawbacks of Joomla- Managing content is at first counter-intuitive (I've found). There are a number of setting for things - what goes in menus, what goes on the front page, what section an article appears in, and whether it is published or not. It requires PHP and an SQL database. On the plus side, it also records hits for articles - you can tell how often particular pages are accessed. It also tracks banners if you were advertising. And while it would require a fair bit of effort to set up - including copying your existing info to the right articles - it would allow you to move articles anywhere you want at any time and update them. That being said - I do have friends that use Plone for their medieval re-enactment group site. And they seem to like that CMS: http://www.aaf.org.au CMS programs are more difficult to setup than wikis - but manage data in a more organised way (I've found). And as usual, I'll help out for free (as I did with the other websites) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you move straight up to someone, regardless of how much you moved, you don't provoke. Just to nitpick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, we had been playing it that way for quite a bit when the AoO rules were clarified, and the group just decided to keep on playing that way out of habit. Ill change it to reflect though; thanks for the catch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spend too many hours on my day job messing around and configuring techie things and data -- when Im home and have time to be creative I want a technology that is very transparent and permits me to spend as much time being creative as possible and I have that now.

Curufea Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Re: D&D3e to HERO System Conversion Update On a side note, I've now added PDF support for the Hero Wiki (ie click the link in the bottom right to view the page as a PDF). Still needs some fine tuning - it currently doesn't do images. Plus it shouldn't add the autogenerated content at the beginning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CUnknown Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 Re: D&D3e to HERO System Conversion Update If people are interested in my D&D to Hero conversion, I will continue to write it up for the Hero Wiki. I don't recall anyone commenting on it, so I stopped working to upload it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curufea Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 Re: D&D3e to HERO System Conversion Update That's a shame - comment you people! I would comment on it, but I'm heavily biased on the subject matter (and also not that uptodate on it). What I will say is - I appreciate any and all contributions to the Wiki and the effort you have put into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curufea Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 Re: D&D3e to HERO System Conversion Update Hmm, well if you want to start a separate wiki for the hero system and not use mine (oh well) - then you can set one up quite easily. Most wikis I've found are freeware/cc/sourceforge. I recommend as a beginner to go for one of the text file wikis such as dokuwiki so you needn't set up a database. http://wiki.splitbrain.org/wiki:DokuWiki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
