This really needs to be decided... obviously when they were published by TSR, Dragon and Dungeon were primary sources and they should be treated that way here. Paizo's issues are kind of in a gray area... personally, I think that they can be considered secondary. To my knowledge, it was primarily Paizo who decided on the content of each issue, and Wizards just had to give them the "Okay" to make sure that there weren't major problems like continuity errors. I could be completely wrong, of course, but Paizo seems to be one step removed from a "primary" source, so calling it secondary could work. Now it isn't an ideal secondary source, but it's something. What are your thoughts on this? – Drilnoth ( T • C • L) 18:54, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
Curious to hear what opinion others have about this and this regarding the lead on the main Dungeons & Dragons article. 204.153.84.10 ( talk) 19:22, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
There are a few important changes to the popular pages system. A quick summary:
-- Mr. Z-man 23:54, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
I have a pile of these that I'd like to get rid of, but I'd like them to go to someone who wants them if possible, and I figure someone here could use them for sources and such. I will list them here as I locate them (I'm in the middle of moving, so it may take a bit before I get them all listed). If you are interested, they are yours for only shipping. Some of them may also include maps and such that originally came with them.
Please let me know if you want them. ··· 日本穣 ? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 07:23, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
Peregrine Fisher has nominated Expedition to the Barrier Peaks for FAC. :) Good luck - I'll help when/where I can! BOZ ( talk) 12:20, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
Hey cool, check out what I found! :) It's not comprehensive, but it gives you a lot of hints as to what style guidelines and such an article should be following, and whether the article does or not. Will also remind you if the lead is too short, if you forgot an image or infobox, etc. It's a good tool to use if you're going for GA on something, and definitely at FA because those guys are really picky about stuff like that. :) BOZ ( talk) 19:38, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
In the module GAs I've worked on, I haven't come up with a consistent way to describe the thing. I don't really care either way, but it's kinda come up at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Expedition to the Barrier Peaks/archive1, and I'd like help deciding what's best. Some points: in the old days they were modules. I guess they're called adventures now. Our list of them uses modules. We should use whatever the common name is, but I'm not sure which is more common. - Peregrine Fisher ( talk) ( contribs) 05:42, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
Does anyone know the page from Schick? I thought we were able to search that with google books, but a preview wasn't available. - Peregrine Fisher ( talk) ( contribs) 16:54, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
Kudos to the editors for bringing this article up to FA worthiness. I know it's pretty difficult trying to satisfy the need for references on these topics, so well done! Thanks.— RJH ( talk) 21:52, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
I think Expedition to the Barrie Peaks is going to make it, and it's got me thinking about doing another. Ravenloft is obviously a good candidate. I think originally it was User:Waza's baby (it's too bad he's not around anymore. He and I were the original guys who started doing modules, I think.), but I can see there have been a lot of chefs in the kitchen since then. I'll probably be expanding stuff (like reception) much more than removing stuff, but I'd like to rearrange it into the standard Plot, Publication history (probably with subsections), Reception format we've been using on other modules. Hopefully this is OK with everyone. If you have any questions or suggestions, don't hesitate. - Peregrine Fisher ( talk) ( contribs) 04:59, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
Third time's the charm? :) Hey, you got Expedition up to a point where several people are willing to support it for FA, so I say "Hell yeah" on just about anything you want to do. ;) Removing the extra text makes the infoboxes look clunky, so yeah if you could do something about that it would be good. :)
If you don't mind the hard work, I'll assist when and where I can. I was hoping for more hands on Pool of Radiance, but going for more FA's on module articles helps out the WikiProject even more. :) A few of our current GA's have definite FA potential, particularly Against the Giants, Dragons of Despair (although somehow we passed without a Reception section!), and Tomb of Horrors.
Another option is to take more of them to GA. Isle of Dread is pretty built up, but needs a bigger Reception section. Castle Amber, Descent into the Depths of the Earth, Forgotten Temple of Tharizdun, Palace of the Silver Princess, Scourge of the Slave Lords, The Keep on the Borderlands, The Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh, and The Temple of Elemental Evil could also make it with some work.
Dungeonland, In Search of the Unknown, The Secret of Bone Hill, The Ghost Tower of Inverness, The Assassin's Knot, The Lost City, Against the Cult of the Reptile God, The Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan, Return to the Tomb of Horrors, Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil, and Desert of Desolation are currently under-developed but have potential.

Can we get Barrier Peaks on the front page? - Peregrine Fisher ( talk) ( contribs) 04:21, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
I have merged these two pages, redirecting the list to the full article, which amalgamates the two pages by incorporating the lists into an article about the development of Greyhawk deities. The material was removed from my ongoing and ever lengthening wiki on World of Greyhawk (on my talk page); my wiki can now simply refer to material on deities in the new article, thereby shortening it. Guinness323 ( talk) 06:34, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
Since it seems that some of the references to Wired.com have disappeared (they are now returning 404 errors), I have archived the rest of the relevant ones and done what I could to locate the content of the error-returning ones.
Ayup, I found ToH! Unfortunately, it doesn't look like Ravenloft was reviewed. :/ – Drilnoth ( T • C • L) 18:38, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
It's live. - Peregrine Fisher ( talk) ( contribs) 23:06, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
What do you guys think about merging D1-2 with D3? While I think a GA could be made for both, I think a combined article could probably make FA easier. - Peregrine Fisher ( talk) ( contribs) 01:18, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
Anyone going to Indy this year? :) We finally made late hotel reservations last night - don't know how we did it (late cancellation I assume?) but we found a $50 room just three minutes away from the convention center! I'll be there all day pretty much; going to see if I can bring the laptop so I'm not too far away from here on downtimes, but if not I'm sure you all can live without me for a day and a half. ;) BOZ ( talk) 16:37, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
Getting ready to go, see you guys later! :) Planning to bring the laptop, but may or may not be on. BOZ ( talk) 14:25, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
Went to GenCon for the first time since the 3e launch. (First GenCon I went to was at Parkside). It's huger than huge now! Hobit ( talk) 13:58, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
Could you check if it's just my computer? Look at the Dragonlance article history for details. Also, see Talk:Dragonlance#Virus. Thanks. - Peregrine Fisher ( talk) ( contribs) 04:09, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
So what should we work on next? Personally, I think that Planescape: Torment shouldn't be too hard, Greyhawk and Dragonlance would probably be good ideas, and Neverwinter Nights 2 is our second-most popular article, so that would probably be worthwhile. Thoughts? - Drilnoth ( talk) 19:57, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
BOZ ( talk) 13:52, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
It would be nice to have an infobox for the various campaign settings. Anyone know of a good one? - Peregrine Fisher ( talk) ( contribs) 04:47, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
I've nominated Dragonlance at WP:GAN. So, is there consensus to work on Greyhawk next, or would something else (like Neverwinter Nights 2) make more sense first? - Drilnoth ( talk) 00:59, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
Going back to Greyhawk, I started some discussion here. BOZ ( talk) 16:53, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
I'm not familiar with those 2 games, but I'd start by checking for reviews and creation info with these sources first. じん ない 04:26, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
OK, looks like all of the items in Drilnoth's first paragraph have been addressed: Planescape: Torment is a GA, Dragonlance is a GA nom, Greyhawk is on hold until we can find more sources, and Neverwinter Nights 2 is being worked on presumably.
So then, what next? I brought up a few items that might be good to work on two posts down. Would we want to consider working on any of those? If we're not sick of modules, I think Against the Giants and Isle of Dread are very logcial choices. Dungeons & Dragons controversies and Gen Con would take some work to get sourced properly, but would also be worthwhile. If these are not the ones we want to go with next, I can look through the C-class articles for worthy candidates. :) BOZ ( talk) 17:44, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
Hey BOZ, did you get to ask GG questions? Too bad he passed, we could have asked for out of universe info. - Peregrine Fisher ( talk) ( contribs) 21:39, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
I finished some work on the lead for Against the Giants, and it's time to go to bed now. :) If you want to continue with modules, it might be nice to get a BD&D module or two going. In particular, The Keep on the Borderlands, Castle Amber, Isle of Dread, and The Lost City might be worth working on, and have plot summaries and reception sections started. BOZ ( talk) 04:57, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
Against the Giants is now a GA! I'd like to start on Dave Arneson soon. It's looking pretty decent already. I've been pretty preoccupied with IRL stuff lately, so I will get into it when I can. BOZ ( talk) 15:11, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
Nominated Neverwinter Nights 2 after working on the lead a bit. :) BOZ ( talk) 00:34, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
Really excellent! A few months ago I never thought NWN2 would be a GA so soon. What's next? :) BOZ ( talk) 01:32, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
Arneson's article is now at GA review. :) BOZ ( talk) 22:33, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
Hey there. :) Now that we have Neverwinter Nights 2 as a GA, and Storm of Zehir up at review, time to look at what is "next" if we're looking at this as a "good topic". I'll make a note that if you look at the article hits page for the D&D project, I'll point out that Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer and Neverwinter Nights 2: Mysteries of Westgate are even higher up on the "popularity list" than Storm of Zehir. :) BOZ ( talk) 23:54, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
I think Savras has some context now. Perhaps someone could read over the article and see if it's ready? I haven't written an article on fiction so far. Thanks! And what topic would this be in? Hekerui ( talk) 13:49, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
I've been working on Pool of Radiance - what do you think? :) I'm aiming for a GA... BOZ ( talk) 03:47, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
I finally nominated the thing for Good Article. :) BOZ ( talk) 15:05, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
Hey check it out, I just found this randomly: User:SharkD/Sandbox/Gold Box gameplay - this was a userfied deleted article. If you would be interested in helping him work on it, I guess you could let him know! BOZ ( talk) 19:26, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
