Niftypedia

I created this one specifically for all hardware, magical and mundane. Should there be separate major categories for magical vs non-magical hardware?

Added all the current articles referenced by The Bloody Bun disambiguation page. Is it appropriate to list them separately here, or just link to the disambiguation page?

1. I left all this "stuff" on the same page. The mixing of fantasy and sci-fi worlds (Riff's Laser Cannon alongside Torg's Talking Sword) is one of the many things that makes Sluggy nifty.
2. I think it's fine to leave the different Bloody Bun incarnations separated here. They are different entities after all. Similarly, I layed down some scaffolding for each version of Riff's Robot to get its own article. That will probably also require a disambiguation page down the road.
3. New question: What about other "stuff" that doesn't count as hardware or arcana, like Riff's Notes or Torg's Shirt? Does that go here too? And if so, do we need to rename this page?

Re: 3, yeah, that stuff needs to go here, too. I was trying to think of something suitably-generic-yet-still-cool-sounding to encompass that, and have my doubts that "hardware" is the right word. I just threw it in here because it needed a name of some kind. I have no suggestions for an alternative at the moment.

Shouldn't this page be Category:Hardware? Also, shouldn't we call the Laser Sword "Laser Sword" instead of "Bloody Bun (rechristened Laser Sword)"? I realize I did call it Bloody Bun on the disambiguation page, but that was because it's a disambiguation page.

Agreed on the "Laser Sword," made change. I was just copy/pasting from the disambiguation page with no thought to it. :)

There are more Teknokon ships than just those, though. Maybe we should just put a link to "Teknokon Ships" (an article I am totally gonna finish, but it'll take an archive crawl of OU to pool my references. I'm totally up for it, but I'm at work right now) in place of the individual ships?
