very cool.... I have HabCat as an excel spreadsheet somewhere (from a classmate in grad school who somehow had excel plot it in XYZ, a trick I need to reverse engineer) right now I'm mostly focused on near-future history and in-solar-system stuff…

I'm cautiously optimistic / trying to be positive... but kind of fuzzy on what the goals are, since I joined this website independently of the kickstarter... Andrew hasn't replied to my e-mail but the gist of it was that I'm more concerned right now…

for D&D, I've made my own homebrew pantheon - mostly because I feel high fantasy doesn't work if good or evil are stronger than the other on some cosmic level, so I have a true neutral supreme creator God and a lower echelon of supreme elemental…

I had only looked at epicworlds and seen the problems there... in a once bitten, twice shy mode now, like the quip about the hype about cloud computing: anytime you see the word "cloud" replace it with "someone else's server" and see how it sounds..…

is it just me or has the site been working better lately? had stopped working on my main campaign page (the insane sci-fi timeline wiki thingy), was messing around with a secondary campaign (Star Wars), just because the new movie put me in the moo…

do you get any sort of pro-rated refund for doing that? and I assume my extra campaign slots would go away (not a big deal, I have several filled up with nearly nothing, would just need to delete down to the main one before I went ahead and can…

there is a great Daily Show skit related to this (the Nazis tried to re-breed Aurochs back into existence, and this breed still exists... whether or not they were strictly speak successful is pretty controversial, but they did make a bigger and mean…

random factoid I learned on trip to Nepal that I want to use in a D&D campaign sometime: Yaks (high elevation dwellers) and Water Buffalo (low elevation dwellers) can produce a mule offspring, and is used as a beast of burden at intermediate ele…

first off, have to sheepishly admit the first time I played D&D in middle school, I assumed Halflings were cross-breeds other than human-elf and asked if there was also such a thing as quarterlings... there is a certain degree to which fantas…

Thanks. Really glad I popped in, the tip from Basileus alone on a work-around for my wiki edit issue was worth it... reduces the daily level of frustration with the site to something short of thermonuclear... - Tau

following you on twitter now, twitter isn't really my thing (until today, haven't logged on in years), good to have a backup channel of communication though

@Basileus - worked! (qualified - I went to a different page, that wasn't recently edited, e.g. maybe not cached... and when the edit window only loaded up two lines at a time... was able to drag the window open from the bottom right... then immedia…

@Basileus - well, today the edit window is fully loading for a change, and yes, I can click and drag from the bottom right corner... I will wait and see if that still works when the problem crops up again... it would still be annoying to have to do …
