What is The Wold?

The Wold is a 3.5 DnD campaign world. Everything here in Woldipedia is created to be a part of our online games in this campaign setting. All the campaigns listed in the *games section* take place in this shared campaign world.

The campaign originated in 1985 and was authored by Jerry Phelps, for his local D&D game in Wichita Falls, Texas. That game is still going strong and the local group gathers weekly to play and socialize.

The Wold campaign setting went online in 1996. Our first location was located on free AOL pages and was very primitive. We adapted a little "guestbook" program, changing it into message boards. Later, we graduated to java-programmed message boards, thanks to one of our players who is a computer programmer. (all hail "Jus"!)

Currently we offer some 15 ongoing campaigns in various corners of the Wold Campaign Setting. All DMs, programmers, staffers, and players are volunteers. Basically, we're an online gaming club of about 90 great folk from every continent and walk of life.

Woldipedia was an idea that came from "Bendis," one of our members from England, to better organize our campaign material, which was getting to be unmanageable with standard Web page design.

Enjoy the campaign material. We ask that you give us credit for any material you find here that you choose to use.

Announcement: WYSIWYG editing enabled

You can now use a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor on the subsections. Just click on the "Wikiwyg edit" link to the right. Seems a bit flakey in IE6, let me know how you get on in other browsers. You can switch it on and off using the WikiWyg link in the Toolbox.

Announcement: Rules pages populated and formatted

All the Constabulary Castle contents have been copied over to the Wiki. I reckon there's some work to do to get them fully up to date, but we need CDM approval before changing any of the content on those pages.
