There is a huge amount of information related to the Old World of Darkness. We do have digital copies, and several people have quite the impressive libraries at their houses. The information is available, but it takes a lot of time out of our game time to find the information we need. It slows down combats and interferes with our roleplaying.
The information can be more easily available. It doesn't have to involve paging through books or passing out DVDs full of PDFs. I have set up a framework to help organize information for Vampire: The Masquerade and Old World of Darkness games. There is a table of contents on both the main page as well as on every page related to these productions. Some pages have already been made; I imported them from the old wiki a few months back. There are many other pages that need content.
If we put the content on the wiki, we get a searchable database of rulesets, stats, and powers. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to create so many pages.
Please, when you guys have time, consider spending a bit of it on the wiki. The main Table of contents for Vampire is here: http://wiki.missoularp.org/index.php?ti ... Navbox_VtM. The red links have no content on them. I don't ask that you learn the formatting; I can go through and add the markups to the text once the raw writing has been done. Even if you only take a few minutes to put information on a single discipline or ability up, it still hones this tool.

I have set Dan, Sarah, and Shannon up with full Administrative privileges on the website. They are now able to create forums, change passwords, and do pretty much anything I have been able to do with the message board and the Wiki. They will also have the same amount of access to the FTP (filehosting) server.
Also, Dan now has access to the WebHosting panel, giving him the ability to back up databases and control the club's domain names. I will continue to pay for the hosting, but he also has access to the billing information.
There's lots more they can do with this access. Up until now I've done it all, so I understand the controls better, and I will continue to administrate and improve the site, and give help in other areas it may be needed. Understand, though, that I have handed the keys to my private webhosting over to the club. This is no longer a private website. It is the club's.

| So You Think You Can Storytell |

The call is out for any storyteller wannabes who want to take the serial game slot currently held by Buffy: The Eden Chronicles. If you want to be considered for storyteller, you must submit your game proposals to the club at the next meeting, to be held on December 19th, 2009. It would be appreciated if your game proposals were also posted in this thread to be reviewed ahead of the vote.
After hearing the potential storytellers' proposals, the club's members will vote to decide which production will fill the open slot.
If you cannot attend the meeting on the 19th, please let Dan or Sarah know what your preference is.

The Hellgate Herald
Editorial
The Editor and Staff of the Hellgate Herald would like to apologize to Michael Green for unfounded accusations indicating that he may have been responsible for the placing of Meth in Ash Creekmore’s locker. There is no evidence to indicate Michael Green at this time.
The Bomber
Eden Police department would like to enlist the aid of Hellgate High School students in searching for the False Bomber. A 5,000$ cash reward is offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons who are calling in false bomb reports around Eden, in late September and early October.
Lock Your Doors
The Eden Police department admits that there has been a steady rise in home invasion around Eden. Please lock your homes and garages at night. Keep an eye on your backpacks and purses when out at clubs or parties. The thieves are targeting money, jewelry and small electronics like MP3 Players and other expensive but portable items.
ONP
News flash
Check your lockers. We have it on good authority that Michael Green AND Hellgate's own football champion J. Wong were responsible for placing the meth in Queen Ash’s locker. Why? No one knows. However we ask you readers, are we over reacting to a harmless prank, or is there a more serious motive behind J. Wongs attack on the head cheerleader. Perhaps J. Wong is secretly a Yellow Demon Servant working for Miss Rose Sato? Did you know that they are related, cousins kids. It doesn’t take a brain surgeon to make the connection here. However, our locker room sources state that Rose and Ash are less worried about each other these days and more worried about the Conservative Miss Kay Weaver.
Rumors Fly
The break of of Queen Ash and Donnie Martin is rippling through the school. Did you know Donnie’s brothers are called the Martin Meth-ers? Maybe we have J. Wong all wrong, MAYBE Ash was a victim of convenience for Donnie’s secret stash? Still someone knew the Meth was there and why did they call it in? Well let’s not dwell on yesterdays news. Queen Ash has been spotted with Sam Anderson. Arguably Sam has been acting oddly which some people are chalking up to multiple blows to the head, and frequent hospital stays. This reporter heard he was RUNNING AND SCREAMING in fear on the football field last month and everyone knows he showed up at the Gay Pride Parade in full drag. (Possibly the most frightening person in pink taffita dress we have all ever seen.) Now that Sam seems to have pulled himself together has he crawled back into the closed and locked the door? Sam, it’s ok to be gay! Really. You don’t have to wear an Ash beard. And Miss Ash, with the Big Ds, what is one think? Do we have a fake couple parading around the school pretending to date? Maybe they are right. Maybe Hellgate high isn’t ready for gay royalty… oh, other than Blake.
Dead Sexy and Where
For those of you who flock to the presence of the sexy Guy Ardent, the hotest midget since Tom Cruise, we thought you should know that he DOESN’T go to his own arcade. Clearly the arcade is NOT the place to be. Oh well. There is always the Quarry, or Morning Light.
DISCLAIMER FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T CAUGHT ON: The events depicted in the preceding post are fictional. No midgets were harmed in the making of this newspaper.

You probably wouldn't give us a second thought as you passed us on the street. We may not stand out much as we go about our daily rituals of work or study. But as night falls, that mundane life is cast aside. The evils that coalesce from the lengthening shadows must be faced. Secret wars are waged. People die decades after their lives ended. Demons, be they real or personal, are banished.
