The Arcana Wiki has grown nicely in the last two weeks - but of course, it could still grow faster. ;)

Here are some news for it:

- The first Arcana Wiki Contest has ended (only two people contributed...). The winning entry was for the Black Shuck, one of the many names of the spectral hounds of British legends. The winner will soon get his $25 gift certificate...

- I've started a new contest which will run for the entirety of August - this one is about "Places of Myth and Legends". Again, the winner will get a $25 gift certificate for RPGNow.

- I've started working on a historical timeline which is intended to showcase all sorts of interesting historical news and events. At the moment, most of the entries are merely "weird" newspaper items (see the 2007 entry for examples), not the sweeping moments of history that I hope for. But give it time...

- I've started a Tropes section, which is intended to mirror the TV Tropes Wiki - a brilliant resource for gamers, no matter what games you play. My intention is to integrate tropes into the adventure seeds provided with each entry - see the new entry for Pilatusstadt, a "sunken city" in Germany, for examples.


That's it - for now. But I'd like to spread the word about the wiki even further so that I can attract more contributors. Any suggestions for how to do that?
