I often need to duplicate a campaign for some reasons like:

• Splitting a gaming group on 2 separate campaigns without having to re-create a new campaign again
• Using a campaign website as a template because I want use it for two or more gaming groups

Do you think it may be possible to add this feature? A simple button for duplicate all the campaign :)

Thanks!

It will be very useful for campaigns that have a lot of NPCs and history, when it's hard to remember every single event that happened.

You could also have the AI be different for players and DM, so that the DM has a version that also looks at the DM secrets and pages. That way, the DM can very easily find what he's looking for without browsing or searching.

I guess there are two problems here;

• pluses - I can't add them anymore and they're important for stats.
• preview - it's really useful if it renders exactly like the saved page

E.g. my players are in City A. So we put the City A info in Wiki and then we describe in Adventures Log, what happened during session. The players learnt there's a faction trying to overthrow local government, yet they move to City. Still they have a group of friends, like a NPC party, that sends them updates. Sometimes I write those as a GM, sometimes they are being created using some random generators to see what happened in City A, when they are in B. I would love to put those reports and news like an Adventure Log, yet still separated.

I would like to have a new feature similar to the character / NPC tab, but for monsters with dynamic sheet template for statblock.

Thank you!

One thing I'd love to see added/redesigned is recurring calendar entry automation. Something along the lines of pick a day of the week, a start time and end time, a location, a description, an end date for the recursion, and then check a box to set how often you'd like it to be built on the calendar (weekly, biweekly, monthly). Click build and viola, you just saved yourself from manually entering all of that info 52 times a year (or however often you play). It isn't flashy but it's convenient.

I know I can remove inactive or dead PCs but that messes with my organization and those characters may come back into play as guest stars. Being able to choose who does and does not get updates will keep me from annoying former players with constat updates that do not pertain to them. 

Thanks! 

I would like to see something like:



Player Characters (already there)

Global NPCs (alread there)

Archived Characters

Module A NPCs

Module B NPSs

...

and so on. Essentially in a folder structure like media.

thx.

It would be REALLY helpful to be able to erase folders, and bulk select pictures to be moved or deleted en masse.  Fortunately I just started on the campaign, so it won't take me long to just start it over, which is what I'm going to do.  But if something like this were to have happened after having spent a long time on it first it would be very frustrating.

Adding an editor like Codemirror to the Settings HTML, JS, and CSS textarea fields would be a nice addition.  It would make editing so much easier and help prevent some typos.

I'm working on an Egyptian themed campaign and (obviously) need an NPC for "Ra".  I got an error saying the Character Name must be 3 characters?  (although the slug can be two characters)

Thanks!

I have a wiki page for a ship, and a set of characters with a tag identifying them as members of its crew. I currently have a list of the crew on the ship's wiki page, each item being simply a link to a character. What I'd _like_ to do is have that list generated automatically based on the character tag. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks in advance!

I need a way to order the maps.

This can be done in two ways:

1. Add a "map number" field to the map create and edit pages that will be the order of the maps.
2. Allow dragging the maps into the order I want to put them it. If you use this option, it's also important to have a "pin" option so you don't accidentally drag the maps when scrolling the page.

Thank you :D

One other thing that would be nice (and was recently brought up on the Discord chat) is if the classes used on the backend (like the dashboard page and settings, etc.) were cleaned up to match the same sort of format that the frontend of the site uses so that CSS changes can be applied much more easily to the dashboard and forums.

 

If I had to pick one single thing that I'd love to see long-term:

I'd love the ability to create a child campaign site that is linked to an existing site. I tend to run multiple games in the same setting, it would be fantastic if the child site was able to directly link to the main site directly so that I could, in essence, build a site for my homebrew setting and then do linked sites for each individual campaign so that I don't have to port over the same data every time I want to make a new game. Bonus points if items and characters in the child sites automatically propogate to the main site. I realize that I could sort of do this now and just use external linking but that's far less convenient.

This would then allow people to better sort and layout their game world's setting - rather then just relying on the wiki pages which can be a bit harder to keep track of over time.

No rush :)

Any healthy campaign is likely to end up with a lot of media files in the media library, and editing/changing/renaming/deleting those files becomes increasingly problematic as the size of the library grows.

So, it would be really useful to have the following features:

1. A button beside a media file that performs a search and lets you know which wiki pages/adventure logs/character sheets etc link to the file.  I get that it probably couldn't catch links that people have made with html, but searching for OP's standard linking system would catch most cases.
2. The ability to search in the media library by file name.

Sorry if they have been asked about before.



If they already exist, I'd appreciate a "heads up" on where to find them.



Thank you kindly.

Could these pages be fixed to have a option to allow these features to work without being logged in?

I think this would actually fix the 'backlinks' request as users can't actually see how campaigns that have big wiki's (like mine) can easily manage a lot of information simply using tag and search options - and I'd like my non-logged in players to have the ability to find things on OP - and hopefully see this as a reason to take the step to register :)

It would be a good tool to see the 'shape' of the campaign and see where my attention can be most effective. I'm new to this site so if this exists already in some form, let me know!

Excellent, you've got enough of the town written out that you can run a few sessions before you need to develop it further. Nice, just in time for your session on Saturday.

But wait -- you still need to notate the town on each of the NPCs' pages. Also, you're trying to keep a list of the churches on the gods' pages too. That merchant, too. Oh, and that calendar you're trying to track. The questline. That item. And then there's the inevitable characters and events that you improvise during the session... plus one of your players (you know the one) keeps throwing you total curve balls. The last town that he was in, he hired a mercenary crew.

There's one feature that would simplify 90% of this and make your wiki immediately navigable: backlinks. You've seen it. It's a standard among wikis. Every Wikipedia page has an index if you use Special:WhatLinksHere/(the entry), but even easier to find is the list at the bottom of any of WikiMedia's items. It has to be built on the back-end and if the hosting software doesn't natively support it, it's complicated, but it's also the single most useful feature I can imagine. It's also no doubt a big reason why people initially come to a site that advertises itself as a wiki for your D&D campaign.

As far as implementation, we all just need to it to catch the referrers from within our own wiki, so it doesn't need to be more robust than that. I'd like to see a campaign-wide checkbox on the settings page with little "except this" checkboxes on each article that remove the section from display, but honestly even the most basic version of this would be *immensely* helpful.

As a game designer I need to tread more carefully around IP issues than most fo the GMs on OP. Merci in advance either way! 

While I'm ranting i'm aslo gonna ad dI miss the vibrant forums that were here ebfore the Reforge and desolation it left in its wake destroyed the community. We need to finally put that behind us and everyone needs to get more involved. And one guy posting 8 topics at once is not a lively forum community, its annoying

When my players visit my new Obsidian Portal > https://thedomainofdreadcouncilmeeting.obsidianportal.com/

The only option is to 'Become a Fan' - implying theres' no way for them to join the campaign  - which is super weird?

Right now I've only managed to get one player who's been able to figure out that they have to sign up separately, go back to the campaign and 'follow it' - then let me know so that I have to manually find their account and send them a invite, they accept and only THEN they can take part... 

It seems a obvious fix to have the option to show a 'Join Campaign' button next to the 'Fan' button to allow players to send a request to the Campaign owner to approve their membership. 

Platforms like Roll20 and DnDBeyond  also allow DM's to generate a link that will enable players to jump straight into the game without needing to know email addresses or usernames. 

This is a really important feature that is missing for Campaign owners - so could we also get the option to generate a unique URL to share with their players which will automatically allow them to join the campaign on signing up - which is great both for the Campaign owners and Obsidan Portal as a whole.

By doing this it becomes possible for people to easily bring a entire group of players into the campaign at once - which is key to getting the campaign off the ground.. and making it worth paying for the 'subscription'.

If however there's some 'secret option' to fix this problem please let me know.
