Hi again and apologies for the long delay between blog entries. The stresses and tribulations of everday life couple with some medical issues have prevented me from being able to sit down and collect my thoughts in a manner which I deem is suitable enough to convey in the written word.
With that aside, I will continue my entry for today. With the news that Pen & Paper Games had partnered with Obsidian Portal, I decided to take a look at this site and see what it was all about. I found that OP has great potential for someone to get very good exposure for his or her campaign to potential player or just people interested in a good read.
I was thinking about how I could use this as a tool to help me as I develop my campaign setting, which as you know I've already dubbed Pariatas. So, I created a campaign in order to document my world as I develop it, and a very unique feature OP has that allows me to do this is its wiki page. Everything I write I save on my computer as an electronic document, but the wiki page allows me to copy/paste what I've written in a wiki-style outline, bringing a structure to my work that can be accessed as the reader progresses through the reading of the material.
Like I said the past two weeks have prevented me from doing any writing so I was only to copy/paste what I had written from Sept 2008 until now, which isn't a lot, but it's a start. I'm happy with OP so far and have since created a second campaign for the online Play by Post game I created here at P&PG, linking terms from my Pariatas page to this campaign's wiki so readers can interchangeably so between wikis to get the information they need about my world in general, and the specifics I've included about what's relative to the campaign.
I've posted the link to my world's wiki here so take a look and let me know what you think!

That's all for now, I will continue my next entry with my setting's Core Assumptions, something that Grimwell and Thoth-Amon have discussed in their blogs and posts, respectively.
