Race histories and background!

PLEASE get a native English speaker to write this stuff, and quests as well. I don't even wanna read through any of the information because it's all a bunch of mistake-ridden garbage.

[Talad]

You're welcome to provide the fixes.

[bilbous]

Perhaps, in the future, putting this stuff on a wiki page prior to publication in an ineditable form would be a useful idea. I understand that the quests are more problematic as they constitute spoilers but it does seem that many of the bugs I have reported are due to typographic or language errors. I appreciate that English is not the first language of many members of the development team but these type of errors are the stuff of video game legends. Example: All your base are belong to us

It discourages native English speakers.

[novacadian]

Perhaps in the present, English speaking players could help edit the new pages by posting needed grammatical changes to this or another thread.

Bilbous' grammatical alert postings seem to have been given immediate attention by the dev team.

The heavy lifting has been done, with the publishing of the setting's updates. One trusted GM could be tasked to follow the thread and make appropriate grammatical updates.

Let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater.

It took me more than an hour to make that first post with the edits as I wanted to try to show the reasons for them. In the end I was not totally successful sometimes saying "just because." By the time I had finished my session had expired and I had to log back in because the session length drop down no longer appears beside the quick login field and would be covered by the banner masthead if it did. Now it is my own fault as I delete all cookies every time I close my browser but the one hour default is insufficient.

I have to say that I only read the kran page myself as it is the race of my predominant character but even at that I really only skimmed it.

I suppose if I feel sufficiently motivated I could copy/paste the new pages to the corresponding pswiki pages as those seem to be currently out of date and then they could be edited there. Still I wouldn't want to do that without express permission from the copyright holder. Certainly I could not subsequently move the corrections back to the settings page.

diffs are easier to handle else it's difficult to see what changed and if it changed the meaning of the phrase

[bilbous]

I assumed the history page of the wiki software kept track of all that and that it would be more collaborative, i.e. it wouldn't have to be all up to one person.

I suppose a diff file would make it easier to update the page so long as all the formatting remained the same.

I can imagine the new PlaneShift expansions:

• PlaneShift 1: The Rise of the Gods
• PlaneShift 2: The Dwarven Wars
• PlaneShift 2 episode 2: Mists of [insert Diaboli world here]
• PlaneShift 3: The Xacha Uprising

But if we ever get on Steam, we'll have to stop at PlaneShift 2 to make friends with the Valve guys.

And don't forget the superhit, Planeshift: Domerim. (do you get it? like Skyrim! bahaha.., not funny)

The dwarven wars are already an event in the dwarven guilds and apart of their history.

[Gilrond]

I agree with the idea of the Wiki.

[LigH]

The dwarven wars are already an event in the dwarven guilds and apart of their history.

Do you really mean "apart of" (rather "apart (aside) from" / except of), or " a part of"? ... How much a space can confuse.

Wasn't this typo even in the Top 10 of mistakes even native speakers do?

[Cirerey]

This is more personal than game-wide but my existing diaboli char will need additional backstory to explain her existence. Feel free to ignore if this is getting in the way of wider discussion. I have two possibilities in mind and a fog of lost family history to help out. One is that she will shrug and point out that diaboli rarely do as they are told and her ancestors must have just remained when the rest left for the DR. The other is that there is a very rare chance of atavism where Ywnwn can give birth to nolthrir or diaboli children, creating an small "new diaboli" race. Naturally my char wouldn't know her personal origin, it was generations ago that all this happened.

Opinions on the plausibility within a PS setting?

[weltall]

well or you could have decided to go away on your own from the death realm. the first you've listed could work too. The second not.

Even though it is, Ligh is still correct.  A part of is what you were going for though.
