With the help, guidance, and support of Trevis Martin, and a cool bit of coding from Bryant Durrell, the Shadows in the Fog wiki web home is now up and running.  There are, of course, a great many unwritten pages, but that's the nature of wiki.

Check it out here

All the rules, including some revisions since the PDF, are set up in wiki pages.

There is an extensive bibliography, list of links and the like, and a page for comments and errata.

Then there is the Cyclopedia itself.  You can get at it thematically, or through alphabetized lists of names, places, and dictionary entries; there is also a timeline, although not all that much information has been entered here.

Oddly enough, the site now has the largest online dictionary of 19th century English slang ever compiled, so far as I can discern, drawing on a large number of sources, mostly contemporary.

If you're running a game, you can add pages for your game inventions, characters, places, plots, and all that.  If you dig up some exciting piece of historical weirdness, it goes right in the main cyclopedia.  Everything is supposed to be flagged to indicate whether it's history, published fiction, or your invention.

Hope to see you all there!
