The Wandering Star Wiki

This wiki serves as compendium for all things Wandering Star. A universe made for roleplayers by roleplayers - extending beyond character sheets to include places, tools, nations and history which are then submitted for community approval and is vetted through a quality control system to ensure balance and consistency. This wiki serves as a guide-book and repository, detailing all of these things.

Wandering Star is an explorer's roleplaying community. Self-aware, smart and occasionally breaking the fourth wall. Our universe extends beyond character sheets to include pretty much everything imaginable. This all goes through a system of community approval for fairness to ensure balance and consistency. If you want something and it doesn't exist, you know what to do; and we'll do it with you.

When you create something, it's not just a toy for you to play with. It's a set piece, something to be seen and used and enjoyed by others. Keep that in mind when you are designing something. It's highly recommended that you create a sandbox page for yourself under “user/NAME/SANDBOXNAME” for a personal directory for your in-progress works.

Naturally, there are going to be things players want which don't exist yet – which they can either make by themselves or express suggestions and tweaks to - for variants, alterations and changes in direction or motif here. Make as many suggestions as you'd like, but please keep them within the suggestion namespace (the page linked)!!
