Lexicon

[lilfluff]

So Thursday I asked if anyone would be interested in a game of Lexicon. Three people have responded so I think we've got enough to start (but more are welcome to jump in!). Just a few questions first...

• Lexicon looks like it works best with a wiki... and I just noticed that the wiki hosting service I have an account on no longer provides free non-education wikis.


• I don't mind people recovering operating costs and making a profit but seriously, $50 for the lowest cost plan?


• Wikia brings my browser to its knees if I have Javascript on so it's not my first or second choice for an alternate wiki host.


• Anyone have a suggested service? I could potentially set up a wiki on a subdomain of lilfluff.com, but that would likely delay things.


• Lexicon starts off with only a broadly brushed theme, but I don't see any reason not to ask what general categories people are interested in. So what do you think, should this be a fantasy world? Science fiction? Previously unknown past?


• ...Something else?


• Shall we go for the baseline Lexicon or would you like to bring in one of the alternate rules?

I dunno any other free wiki services, unfortunately, but I could help you set one up if you need it!

My vote is fantasy, or science fantasy.

Also I say either straight rules or the one where we each pick our own starting letter.

I don't want to be pushy, but is this still a work in progress?

After much dithering, selected domain to use, tomorrow I poke my head into my host's documentation again. It seems like it shouldn't be too crazy a setup process.

I believe that this is where I cheer enthusiastically!

I have no suggestions to offer re the wiki host and I am happy to go for baseline Lexicon but don't mind alternate rules.

I am inclined to suggest a fantasy-type world, but not necessarily a magical one.
