As the core of this site draws to a close there are some things that will be addressed in the next rollout. They are listed here so I remember them. If I missed anything, reply to this post. These are only major revisions; I'll address minor revisions along the way:
1. Add context flags to denote campaign type (Magic/non-magic, Archaic/contemporary/sci-fi, Basic/Expanded).
2. Reformat principia to make more readable, add fade in captions for descriptions of skills and what-nots to eliminate need for drill-downs. You'll see what I mean.
3. Lock down site to restrict access to character and principia modification to just GMs and rule purveyors.
4. Add boiler plate option to allow entry of already existing characters, by GM only.
5. Add sci-fi/contemporary weapons, skills, classes, races, etc.
6. Build basic framework for spells under Arcana just as a way to tend spells, generation is freeform as of now. Do the same for magic items, and allow on the fly reflections in attributes for possession of said items.
EXTRA-BIT:
Adam had suggested allowing GMs to upload things related to their campaign, such as maps, expositions and stuff. A keen idea if ever there was one, however, seeing that brinkster is a free site, and generously allows me execute both database calls and asp scripting, they tend to be a bit chinsy on bandwidth and storage space. If that is the case eventually this site needs to be moved off of brinkster to a more robust system. I believe Adam has been kind enough to squat http://www.dawnofeana.com, which was nice of him. Anybody willing to foot the cost of hosting? It's not really an issue at this point, but prolly in the next 6 months or so there would be clear advantage to upgrading the host. Just curious. Don't everybody run out and buy space or anything.
