The TV Tropes Wiki is an amazing resource for gamers - thousands of staple plots, characters, settings, and other nifty ideas to plunder. And I want to make use of that resource with the Tropes section.
The new Pilatusstadt entry showcases how I envision the integration of the tropes with the rest of the wiki: I've added several adventure ideas to the entry, and within these entries I have added links to the following tropes:
Those who follow the link will learn more about these tropes - and in turn, consider variations on the trope that they hadn't thought of. It is my hope that the Arcana Wiki will eventually make clicking through those links as addictive and interesting as it is the case on the TV Tropes Wiki.
Of course, that will require effort - for example, I first had to write the entries for these tropes. And then I had to copy and paste the appropriate index pages for those trope sub-categories (which also involved changing the formatting, since the TV Tropes Wiki uses a different wiki code - and the "search and replace" function doesn't work on all relevant parts of the code).
So, is anyone willing to help with expanding the tropes section? And what do you think could be improved in it?
