I'm putting together some thoughts on campaign management to better serve the site and the community at large. Can you help me out? I'd like this to be an open discussion where we can bring up new ideas on the subject, and debate the pros and cons of each approach.

For me, Campaign Management is very much like writing for a tv show. (Not that I've done a lot of that mind you.) First you outline the over-all plot. Then you factor in the characters, places, NPCs, and major events. Then you break that down into episodes. Every episode has its own story and purpose. You can't see it, but the GM ONLY section of the home page of each of my campaigns is cluttered with notes and info that I use to put together each episode.

How do you manage your campaign? How do you plan it out when you start a new one? How do you keep at it without losing site of the overall plot? Does our layout help or hinder you when it comes to managing your campaign?]]> https://forums.obsidianportal.com/discussion/6/asking-for-help-offering-advice Tue, 10 Jul 2007 18:49:30 +0000 Micah2 6@/discussions https://forums.obsidianportal.com/discussion/1165/help-adjusting-text-size-in-textile-tables Thu, 14 Jan 2010 20:34:54 +0000 gnunn 1165@/discussions
Here's a link to my "work in progress":http://www.obsidianportal.com/character/rayne-pc/

Here is an example of my code:


table{border:1px solid black;margin-bottom:10px;width:200px;font-size:8pt;}.
==|\3={color:white;background:#666666}. *Abilities* | | |==
==| Strength |=. *12* |=. (+1) |==
=={background:#ddd}. | Dexterity |=. *14* |=. (+2) |==
==| Constitution |=. *14* |=. (+2) |==
=={background:#ddd}. | Intelligence |=. *13* |=. (+1) |==
==| Wisdom |=. *11* |=. (+0) |==
=={background:#ddd}. | Charisma |=. *17* |=. (+3) |==


I have tried placing the "font-size" instructions at pretty much every level from the enclosing div to each span, but table text always reverts to the default size.
The only thing I have found that works is to enclose the text of each individual cell in the following code:


==%{font-size:8pt}small text here%==


I just don't want to have to clutter up my tables by coding each individual cell.

Any advice or insight would be appreciated.]]> https://forums.obsidianportal.com/discussion/1160/how-do-i-quit-a-campaign Sat, 09 Jan 2010 20:54:11 +0000 Jork 1160@/discussions https://forums.obsidianportal.com/discussion/1158/font-types Fri, 08 Jan 2010 04:17:57 +0000 Shiiome 1158@/discussions https://forums.obsidianportal.com/discussion/1157/aligning-tables Thu, 07 Jan 2010 20:49:34 +0000 Morrinn 1157@/discussions

When doing a long table I'd love to be able to have them centred.]]> https://forums.obsidianportal.com/discussion/1153/controlling-e-mail-notifications Tue, 05 Jan 2010 02:05:57 +0000 ginkgo 1153@/discussions
In my (admittedly limited) explorations of the setting, I can't find an obvious way to control these settings. I'd like to ensure that my players receive email updates when I add to the adventure log. I would appreciate any help folks can provide.]]> https://forums.obsidianportal.com/discussion/1028/link-to-sections-of-same-page Sun, 01 Nov 2009 21:46:51 +0000 SSveter 1028@/discussions https://forums.obsidianportal.com/discussion/1111/multi-user-sketch-programs Sun, 06 Dec 2009 19:31:05 +0000 Mister_Arkham 1111@/discussions https://forums.obsidianportal.com/discussion/824/email-notifications Thu, 14 May 2009 21:03:45 +0000 Nojo 824@/discussions https://forums.obsidianportal.com/discussion/1126/how-do-i-do-this Sun, 13 Dec 2009 00:39:04 +0000 Bradywan 1126@/discussions https://forums.obsidianportal.com/discussion/1122/2e-resources Thu, 10 Dec 2009 21:44:27 +0000 countamantea 1122@/discussions https://forums.obsidianportal.com/discussion/1119/understanding-players-vs-characters Tue, 08 Dec 2009 16:23:45 +0000 Rhewtani 1119@/discussions https://forums.obsidianportal.com/discussion/1108/hyphens-and-page-titles Fri, 04 Dec 2009 11:55:16 +0000 mcmaptx 1108@/discussions https://forums.obsidianportal.com/discussion/1096/campaign-not-showing Sun, 29 Nov 2009 16:33:00 +0000 ski2060 1096@/discussions https://forums.obsidianportal.com/discussion/1059/private-tags Wed, 11 Nov 2009 16:17:52 +0000 youmakeme 1059@/discussions https://forums.obsidianportal.com/discussion/1054/linking-to-npcs Mon, 09 Nov 2009 16:54:57 +0000 Falk3r 1054@/discussions https://forums.obsidianportal.com/discussion/1032/no-more-than-one-link-to-a-new-page Tue, 03 Nov 2009 12:51:30 +0000 titan_institute 1032@/discussions https://forums.obsidianportal.com/discussion/1019/players-editing-pages Thu, 22 Oct 2009 04:22:16 +0000 thewok 1019@/discussions https://forums.obsidianportal.com/discussion/1010/internal-server-error-500 Mon, 12 Oct 2009 03:48:35 +0000 Fivegears 1010@/discussions https://forums.obsidianportal.com/discussion/1000/how-do-you-do-a-sticky Mon, 05 Oct 2009 04:48:00 +0000 outrider 1000@/discussions https://forums.obsidianportal.com/discussion/992/remove-myself-from-player-list Thu, 24 Sep 2009 01:03:31 +0000 lmyrick 992@/discussions https://forums.obsidianportal.com/discussion/989/cthulhu-pulp-adventures-has-a-5-2-how Tue, 22 Sep 2009 21:47:00 +0000 Flatscan 989@/discussions https://forums.obsidianportal.com/discussion/982/lost-shorting-posts Mon, 14 Sep 2009 05:15:54 +0000 RayceWinter 982@/discussions https://forums.obsidianportal.com/discussion/981/sticky-for-faq Mon, 14 Sep 2009 04:54:06 +0000 RayceWinter 981@/discussions https://forums.obsidianportal.com/discussion/980/plain-text-block-code Sun, 13 Sep 2009 13:23:10 +0000 Mowgli 980@/discussions https://forums.obsidianportal.com/discussion/979/not-100-sure-if-this-is-the-right-forum Sat, 12 Sep 2009 03:10:48 +0000 monkeyg0d 979@/discussions https://forums.obsidianportal.com/discussion/976/slugs Wed, 09 Sep 2009 21:56:46 +0000 drubixcube 976@/discussions https://forums.obsidianportal.com/discussion/974/hyphens Wed, 09 Sep 2009 06:19:04 +0000 Slander 974@/discussions https://forums.obsidianportal.com/discussion/971/inserting-multiple-photos Mon, 07 Sep 2009 20:33:42 +0000 Poet22 971@/discussions
