GreenLantern: Any info on the WW site crash?

So - I can't access the White-Wolf website. The forums are giving me runtime errors. Anyone else seeing this? As I normally don't use the WW site, does this kind of thing happen often? -- GL

----
I'm /very/ new to the Wiki thing, but am a bit of a math/statistics person, so I'm a huge fan of numerically representing things. If I had to say, I'd claim that I'm a Twilight (by nature) who desperately wishes he was an uber-cool Night caste. Or, in Sidereal terms, I'd be a Chosen of Saturn, desperately wishing I was a happening Chosen of Venus.

So yeah - I'm a professor who longs for more adventure. So common, I'm sure.

Anyway, off to Wiki'ing!

===== New Charms and Sorcery =====
[[GreenLantern/MartialArtsMastery]] - A set of charms that allows a Solar to transcend normal limitations and make new charms for martial arts trees ''other'' than Solar Hero Style. I must work carefully here, as it can be ''very'' dangerous to allow extensions to things like CMAs and SMAs.. 
[[SolarLinguistics/GreenLantern]] - Extensions of the 2E Charm trees, providing writing without ink, great speeches, and other uses of words that don't necessarily require them to be written 
[[MartialArts/SolarMasterStyle]] - A more civilized and elegant style than Solar Hero, this style shares about half of the charms with Solar Hero, yet is more "Jet Li" than "Hulkamania". 
[[Sorcery/GreenLantern]] - a general "cantrip" style Celestial spell to allow impressive displays of power without an actual specific effect. 
[[HearthStones/GreenLantern]] - Some not-yet fleshed out ideas 
[[SolarExcellencies/GreenLantern]] - Trying out the Solar Excellency ideas I've got. 
[[MartialArts/FourfoldPathToReadinessStyle2nd]] - Same as before, only newer. Due to 2nd's inability to combine Dodge and Parry, there are some defensive re-works as well. 
[[MartialArts/IridescentRiversOfEssence]] - The Sutra of Geomancy. A low-Essence SMA centered around raw Essence, Demenses, Manses, etc. 
[[MartialArts/TransparentInfinitiesOfPosition]] - The Sutra of Position. Mid-range SMA that defies traditional spatial relationships, allowing minor teleportation, delivering touch attacks at a distance, and eventually ignoring the concept of position altogether, allowing the practitioner to assume multiple positions simultaneously. 
[[SolarLore/GregLink]] - Some Lore charms as a teacher (remeniscent of TWTT) and some uncomplete thoughts on other lore charms. 
[[SolarCraft/GregLink]] - Making planning and building much faster, as well as the first perfect craft charm. 
[[SolarBureaucracy/GregLink]] - Focusing on improvement of organizations you run through you being generally awesome. 
[[SolarPerformance/GregLink]] - Charms relating to background music in scenes, and creating Bollywood-style dances. 
[[Sorcery/GregLink]] - A few spells mostly about conjuring arbitrary objects, and summoning more powerful elementals (rather than demons). 
[[MartialArts/FourfoldPathtoReadinessStyle]] - Entirely reflexive style heavy on avoidance and counterattack, with no attack charms. 
[[MartialArts/EffortlessMasterStyle]] - A style focused heavily on permanents and other long-term effects - never quite finished, but 90% of the way there at one point. 
[[MartialArts/GentleMasterStyle]] - I believe this is nearly identical to the above, because I wasn't paying attention to MA titles... 

===== Artifacts =====
Note: These artifacts are often created using nearly-pure [[SavantAndSorcerer]] rules, which means that they can be ''very'' different than what many would expect - or like. There has been some discussion on the wiki (mostly Telgar and myself) about what makes a 'good' artifact, so while in some respect they may be ''mechanically'' valid, they don't really have much character. To put it bluntly, one is a "collection of bonuses that a Martial Artist would find useful". To me, it makes sense, in that if you were a Twilight Martial Artist, you'd make something for yourself, it also loses the story, mystery, and intrigue normally associated with a 5-dot artifact. Just a warning. 
[[[GregLink/SandSArtifacts]]] - An overview, and some discussion. 
[[[GregLink/RingOfGodlyMight]]] - An MA-twink custom artifact. 
[[[GregLink/SeedOfAutocthon]]] - One of my better-described and not as twinky things, it gives a direct link to Autocthon, partially transforming the wearer into an Alchemical. 
[[[GregLink/StarmetalSigilOfMercury]]} - Another less than impressive artifact chock full of kewl powerz, this one demonstrates some really character-defining changes - flight, an extra die action per turn (as in splittable, full dodgeable action), and some nice defensive boosts. Turns almost any starting Solar into a proper comic-style low-level superhero though. 

Another set, always weird.
[[GreenLantern/InstantaneousInformationAppliance]] - A 1 inch square chunk of green jade, orichalcum and starmetal that adheres to the skin, providing a direct uplink to a number of information sources scattered throughout the land. Great for the Chosen of Secrets, as well as generally nosy characters.

===== Random Junk =====
[[GreenLantern/Questions]] - Some questions I'm hoping other Wikizens can answer
[[GreenLantern/ThingsIDontLike]] - Just some things that irk me about the game, that I wanted to vent about 
[[GreenLantern/LevelsOfArtifice]] - Based on [[Heru]]'s work, with a way to explain and crunch-ify the extreme variation in artifacts available and printed... 
[[GreenLantern/AlternateSiderealTheory]] - I don't really like the way Sidereals were treated in the fatsplat. I'm not saying it's ''bad'', just that I had gotten a different impression from the Core book (1st Ed), and think there's a different way to approach things. I blurted some of this out onto a text editor once, and while it's not clean or organized, it's a way to go. It also works for Rogue Sidereals, if that's your thing. 
[[GreenLantern/JustAddWaterCharacter]] - Having just now noticed that AD might think of letting me into the [[JustAddWater]] game, I'm desperate to come up with a character. This will be a workspace for such a thing. 
[[GreenLantern/TheThirdAge]] - A setting-twist that nigh removes the Great Curse, ushering in an era of competitive advantage, and sour grapes. 
[[GreenLantern/HouseRules]] - Not necessarily all 'house' rules, some are just clarified interpretations. 
[[[GregLink/DaemonBackground]]] - Narfed from the Stryck Wiki [http://wiki.stryck.com], it's a background suitable for [[ExMod]] that is a cross between a familiar and a computer program, resulting in non-corporeal agents working for you. Almost like having a small 'computer' elemental or somesuch at your disposal. Thing is, while I love the concept of having essentially a spirit familiar, the discussion and description isn't that solid. To that end, I've copied it here, so that we all can chat about it. 
[[GreenLantern/ChangingMoonAnima]] - A question I pose to the wiki, regarding their interpretation of the Changing Moon Anima Power (2E specifically) 
[[GreenLantern/AutocthonAsTheRootoftheVoid]] - In the spirit of my alternate Sidereals theory, and the general tone of the old Lore 1 project, I propose that much of what we believe and know about Creation is incorrect, and that Autocthon is, and always has been, the root of the problem.
