Topic: General Discussion / What ive learned in my 10 years of DMing or KISS rules to DMing

Thats actualy a great idea. Doing it that way will also give you a bigger reason for actualy looking at the encounters and knowing the monster abilities. After a while you might want to get a tackle tray or craft box to store your Mag-Tokens.

Topic: Feature Requests / Possible Awnser to player private data

This is a possible awnser to the idea of sharing information with only one player. It is bulky and probaly not the best but it would be simple to impliment.

What does it do?

In Essence it creats a space that specific players can read but others can not.

What does it look like?

In Editing: This would be a text input box or multiple text input boxes, much like the standard text and “GM info” text editing boxes already present. Instead of a name it would have a drop down menu containing the name of players in your game. Once selected any text entered or edited in the box is visible to both that player and the GM. If no text is present then the box is ignored, Much like the GM info box, and nothing is printed. After the initial save creating the player specific info there would be a box dedicated to that player and another with a drop down menu (Deleting all text causes this to go to default). This means that one box would require a DM to edit a page multiple times to give a group of players private information.

Problems? Possible problems I can see with this system is the shear bulky ness of it. It requires alot of scrolling and clicking just to get information to specific chaacters and leave others out. also there would have to be additional check boxes marked designating entire pages private for those players. THe listing and what not dosent seam like it would be too hard, a series of code to call the list of players and populate the drop down or the array of check boxes.

THen again I’m not a programer

Topic: General Discussion / Seasons Greetings

I would never have known they did it till just now when you mentioned it

Topic: General Discussion / Seasons Greetings

Seasons greetings to all of you. Weather you celebrate Christmass, Huanika, Kuanza, Beltain, or any other holiday during the winter solstice. Sorry bout the spelling errors.

Hey it might be fun to actualy share our holiday beliefs, this could instill ideas for campaigns and for religions within.

Me: I came up in a house with both Southern Baptist and Jewish parents, for a long time I didn’t celebrate any thing once getting on my own, but now with my family growing we celebrate Christmass (mainly for the reason that my wife comes from a christian background). I have in the past aided in Beltain celebrations (Ft. Lewis, and Ft. Hood open Circle) and a few others.

For those on here please remember taht this is an effort to coincide, do not flame others for their beliefs.

Topic: Help and Tips / herf?

Thanks for the reply, I wasn’t trying it out originaly cause I knew the syntax was diffrent than I remembered.

That will help alot

Topic: Help and Tips / herf?

I could have sworn I saw somthing in one of these posts about using herf tags to make lonnnnnnnngggg wikki pages more usable. I might have the name for it wrong.

The idea is to creat a link, like a foot, note that automaticaly jumps to another area of the page (specificaly where the foot note or in this case the herf is).

I didn’t see it in the advance edit help but would love to implement it in some of my work.

PLEASE help, or am I just going cazy and didn’t see any of this?

Glad to here they where of aome help Lialos, Thank you.

Topic: Help and Tips / Space Ships for Future D20

The black lines are just to break the page up I just used a simple – all the way across. If this is done make sure there is nothing above or below it otherwise it gets weird bolding some things and truncating the line half through the page.

Redstar: Do you mean make it two diffrent tables? I dont have it touching in my browser

h3. Description:

The Basic Shuttle for PL 7 travel, fast compared to 20^th^ century tech this modle is still no inter galagtic transport. It would take 2.4
months to travel 1 light year in this vehical, making the power plant only having fuel for a 2.5 light year trip (roughly half the distance
to Alpha Centauri our closests neighbor). Despight this slow time this ship is still a boon for any one wanting inter planetary travel
making the equivelant distance of earth to pluto take just over an hour. The best advance is in the sensors and comunication, its 
collision detection sensors keep even the greenest pilot from hitting things and jepordizing the pasengers aboard, while the Mass
transceiver allows for mayday calls to reach any where within 1,000AU ensuring imeadiate responce.

h3. Customizations:

Many customizations are made both on the comercial and personal level making this vessle one of the widest in variety.

fn1. Weight given is for hanger and stowing purposes only. Though relative this can be easily converted to Mass by turning it into KG 
(1 cubic cm of water is equaled to 1 gram versus the weight of 1 cm^3^ which varies dependant on gravity).

fn2. C is the relative speed of light aprox 186,000 mps. the mulyiplier is self explanitory.

fn3. Number in parenthisies is the refuel purchase DC and rate of refuel.

Topic: Help and Tips / Table Alignment aka valign='top'

Aparently the cell you want aligned to the top needs to have the ^ followed by a period. I got it to work on my trials though I can’t get it to multy align (I.E. Top Center) only one will work. .... Hope this helps

Topic: Help and Tips / Table Alignment aka valign='top'

Ok now I understand let me see what I can discover I’ll get back to you

Topic: Help and Tips / Table Alignment aka valign='top'

My example is just two different tables made as one. The suggestion would require having an additional cell right above the Flaws title with supporting text.

Topic: Help and Tips / Table Alignment aka valign='top'

I know that you can use a table float comand, but I dont think this is what your talking about.

There is allways creating a seperator cell for text then adding the second table directly so that they all come out the same size.

Example: http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/1247/wikis/spaceship-armor-gadgets

Not sure what you are exactly trying to do (I’m a noob to web proging and don’t know HTML at all)

There, I uploaded the new banner found a font that looked like a broken wall, used the blend feture on gimp to recolor it and paste it to the image, which is now 750 pixels wide and about 150 tall. I still might do better as I work with this but this one will stay for at least a bit.
