2320ad wiki

[Duke Pellinor]

Please come along and help out, it is fairly listless at present, but I am hoping to jump start the site over the next few weeks. At present I am doing structural work in the background, creating and tweaking templates and that sort of thing. I am an original Traveller 2300 fan, bought the box almost as soon as it hit the shelves, and apart from TNE it would have to be my favourite game of all time.

Where is it?

And someone appears to have grabbed my name on it, unless it was me, and I've forgotten. Which is possible.

I do not want to be a spoilsport here but I really would get Marc/Hunter approval for this if you haven't already, its just too easy to cut and paste copyrighted matter into a wiki.
I assume you have adopted the site that I set up a while back (same address anyway), and I then quickly abandoned before I really started on it due to lack of approval (or even acknowledgement of my request of approval from Hunter, though I did try).
It was too much of a legal minefield to continue without authorization so I gave up!
And what if Mongoose get a hold of the license? More complication nightmare!
Anyway not to be a dampener, good luck with this, its a worthy cause and I would love to contribute too.

He has tried. Whether Hunter has responded, I have no idea. But he has tried.

Thanks for posting the link Colin.
I started your bio page there but am hoping top get some detail from you to add to it! {unsubtle hint}

Beech, it is the same Wiki. I have tried to contact Hunter, but I presume that he is too busy at present. I am going to follow the generous fair use policy posted on this site, I just need to know what to post in the disclaimer about who owns 2320 as some of the notice here is a bit garbled. I hope to monitor people's contributions closely to ensure that it is adhered to so as to ensure that all copyright holders are happy. The idea is to promote the game not steal. I am especially interested in getting people to write up the sort of gems we have seen on Pentapod's world and Etranger.

At present I am working mainly on site infrastructure and 2300AD material as this is what I have, as well as trying to get permission from various non-canon websites to use their information as they seem to be dropping off the radar, as time goes by there are more and more deadlinks, and I'd love to preserve this material.

So, enough chat, lets get some contributions happening!

Permission

Duke Pellinor-

You have my permission for the stuff that I created back when Voyages SF was in print (Fort Bliss/Knox class), the short story, etc.

Thank you Shanksow,
*whereabouts will I find this material?
*what is your First name + surname for a brief bio? (I'm creating author stubs now)
*could provide a few relevant details for a bio?

Can I help with this one?

 

[Duke Pellinor]

Please do.
I am currently working on some history related articles e.g. The Saudi War as well as authors, and product articles (some of which are cut and paste jobs that need serious updating....), as well as stuff relating to Australia.
