Tabor: /* 4) Wild Tangents Wiki */

So, you'll need to square away some logins first. I tried to make things as minimal on the player's end as I know how to make it.

== Social Logins ==

=== 1) Discord ===
You should already have an active Discord, since I sent you the stuff through it >_>;;

'''Purpose:'''

We'll use Discord for all the banter, in-session discussion, out-of-session discussion, memes, and all that stuff.

I'll have a video chat room set up for us to use while we play (it's up to you if you want to use a webcam, but we'll need audio for it to work)

== Game Playing Logins ==

=== 2) The Forge ===
You'll need to set up an account at [https://forge-vtt.com The Forge]

It's free :) It is tied to an email, but there might be an option for single sign-on connected to your google account? Not sure, it's been a while since I set one up.

(If you don't want it connected to your regular email I can hook you up with a burner @discardedworlds.net email address.)

Either way once you have an account, let me know what your username is. I'll need to know who is who so I can make sure the right people are connected to the right thing.

'''Purpose:'''

This gives you access to where the gaming tables are set up, which are off one someone else's internet server and you need to log into ''that'' server.

Once I send you an invite link to the Foundry virtual tables, your Forge account will be connected as a player to that table.

=== 3) Foundry ===
Thankfully, you won't need to set up an account to play on Foundry :)

When you open the URL to the Foundry virtual table, you'll see a splash screen and enter the virtual table via a dropdown list of players. Let me know what name you'd prefer to use for this, it can be anything. Your IRL name, discord handle, whatever you want.

'''Purpose:'''

This is basically like going to a wedding and having your name on cute little place card at the table, or your name on a brass placard when you are a sitting member of the United Nations.

Your Foundry player name will let me tie your character sheets, character tokens, journal entries, and so on that have an ownership structure. Foundry lets me do cools things by making specific things visible, editable, or controllable for or by specific people based on ownership.

== Quest Log ==

=== 4) Wild Tangents Wiki ===
Create an account for the wiki on [[Special:CreateAccount|this page]].

Or if you click the little meeple icon in the upper right, you can create an account/log in from there.

I just tested this on my phone and edited this with a secondary login :)

If you forget your password and stuff, I don't know how to be a proper webmaster yet for any password resets or anything. (More details to follow? Don't worry about it until it's needed?)

'''Purpose:'''

I'd like for players to be able to do stuff like:

* add character bio pages
* update their player bio
* add cool lore stuff
* share helpful tips, player-to-player
* Build out a library of helpful links for playing Pathfinder
* or otherwise expand the wiki where they'd like to see it expanded.

It's meant to be a collaborative space for all :)

[[Editing the wiki|Here's a tutorial for adding stuff to the wiki]]. It's some blurbs by me, but mostly links to the media wiki help pages.
