Yes.
Some old theories are widely known and deserve to be included, yet sometimes there is no living thread about them. But the main reason is a practical one: putting a link for each theory would demand an LOT of work. There are many theories, spread in many posts, and old threads are deleted after one year so the links would keep breaking and would require constant attention. And most of the post introducing a theory contain little more info than a one-sentence summary.
I included all the links to threads in the DFRC, as they won't disappear, and are of very high quality.
You'll notice that I include links to some threads in the DF spoilers section. I do so with threads I believe have a good chance of ending in the DFRC, or if I can directly copy-paste the link. It's basically an informal nomination thread.
Ah I see.
What do you think of me creating "compilation threads" for each of the theories that don't have sources (and are either
Strong evidence Very strong evidence) and aiming to get them into the DF Reference Collection? I'd like to at least try. Not having sources for those theories bugs me (I may also try ones for
Speculative if the previous attempt works).
It's slightly overrated. But there is already a poll about it so I prefer to respect the results.
If I created a new poll and it goes the other way, would you than change it (though there's the slight issue that I don't know how to create a poll...)?
I look into it, I don't have my copy of the DFRPG close at hand.
You don't trust me

I can easily quote the whole paragraph here if you'd like.
Also, Harry also wonders if the figure behind Kincaid is Drakul on page 159 of
Our World:
To my Sight, Kincaid looks enormous, malformed, silent, merciless, deadly. He has horns curling from his head, batlike wings, and a hideous double-image behind him that looks like the corpsespecter of Death himself (Drakul?). I don’t know if he’s soulgazeable, but I really don’t wanna find out. Just a glimpse with the Sight was enough for me.
Added.
Requesting that you also add "(the walker could also be Nemesis)" beside it.
Added.
You forgot to add my name to it (how do you do that anyways?)
No. The rating is already low, and there is a WOJ behind the theory.
Which one?
Also, could you add the "Drakul is the scion of a demon"? (
EDIT: Also found another reference for Drakul being the scion of a demon. It's on page 143 of
Our World in the Freeholding Lords sidebar:
Vlad Drakul (NE)—a half-demon
scion; father of Vlad Tepesh Dracula
I'm wondering how to add sources for theories that only have a slice of text from the RPG to support them. I could use the method I proposed at the top of this post but creating a thread for such a small piece of evidence seems wastefull...getting threads like them into the DF Reference Collection would just clutter it up. Maybe we could make one thread for all the theories that only have small amounts of evidence (this could also work for
Speculative and
Highly Speculative theories)?
Just read it. I was too busy having fun last week.
All is forgiven
