Hello everyone,
TL;DR: Making a website/wiki where EVERYTHING 3.5 is accessible and made generic enough for WotC to not delete it in seconds. For convenience of old players and introduction for new ones easier.
Today I am going to ask something we will probable all agree with...
Finding sources for 3.5 is annoying. Not SRD stuff of course but I am talking about the rest. Of course most of us have access to PDFs (obtained more or less legally) or books from the good ol' days.
But recently I had a friend of mine interested in 3.5 and I warned them about how difficult it could be to find informations... And by that I mean good informations.
Between voluntary changes on some shady website, mispelling, having to know if this piece has been updated in another book or errata'ed, it's pretty hard to make a character 100% legal.
And even if you have all that you have to remember the online stuff where you have to use web archive to access and there is a lot of stuff poorly documented or even known by the majority and even by most people here.
Sure you could allow SRD stuff only and call it a day. But, be honest, if I wanted to let des choices for my players I would be playing 5e instead.
No, you want all that sweet content for your players or even yourself to play with... Then you remember you will have to find everything again... Or have a drive where all your PDFs are stored or something like that and share it.
But as a New player it might be a lot to handle and might be a bit much to handle...
Then I thought... How irrealistic or not-Wotc-friendly to regroup everything on the same website but deleting/modifying everything lore-specific.
Renaming faerun, Eberron and whatnot prestige classes, feats etc... And allowing them to be played anywhere. Making everything generic and accessible to everyone.
Listing sources, book name and page and eventual original name.
There is a website doing that for Pathfinder 1e. As far as I know, sure, Paizo IS not WotC but I mean, it might be possible, isn't it ?
It would be much easier for everyone here and to anyone wanting to introduce or be introduced to this edition of the game.
I suppose it already has been thought about but... You never know.
Apologies for spelling mistakes in advance. I am on my phone.
What do you peuple think? Is that unrealistic to think it could fly? Or is ont but too much work that nobody even tried to do so?
