I would like to implement the idea of Evil Overlords (http://www.treasuretables.org/files/Evil-Overlords-TT006free.pdf) in my campaign. I have three friends who live out of state and I use to game with. They are willing to take on three factions in my campaign world to help give it a more 'real life' feel to it by injecting 'reasoned randomness' into the campaign.

I want them to update information on my portal to cover what their factions do. So what kind of information would be part of an organization:
1. Organization Name
2. Public information
2a. History
2b. Current events
3. Private area for the player to record hidden information about the organization
3a. History
3b. Upcoming events
3c. Links to characters associated with the organization (public & private members of the organization)
3d. Assets of the group (money, followers, equipment)
4. GM area

The way this would work is my friends would publish once or twice a month both the public and private events going on with their organization. As for my table-top group all they would know is there are things going on around the 'campaign world' that may or may not involve them.

The closest way I can see to implement it with the current tools is using Characters. But my friends can't create private wiki pages that are linked from the private area of a Character. Or can they?]]> https://forums.obsidianportal.com/discussion/1991/character-tab-requests Tue, 21 Jun 2011 15:12:38 +0000 RobJustice 1991@/discussions
First, when I sort by a Tag all the other Tags vanish from the list. If, for example, I wanted to see at a glance all the Elves in my game the list would come back but any tags that indicate their class wouldn't show.

Second, I was wondering if it's possible to allow some sort of sort by tag feature. So I could tell the tab my priority and it would sort my list with headers by the selected tag. For example, I could select Elves, Dwarves, and Gnomes and any NPC tagged with those tags would get a header section (similar to the current Player Characters and NPCs headers) while everyone not selected would just be listed under the NPCs header.

Lastly, there is a decent amount of white space in the character tab section. Any thoughts to dropping either the Quick Description or the first part of another section on the tab list as a bit of a character excerpt? That way I could see my notes at a glance too.

This is all little things that would make my life, in a game with 70 characters and growing, so much easier.]]> https://forums.obsidianportal.com/discussion/119/data-backups-questions-and-a-request Mon, 29 Oct 2007 05:37:40 +0000 dungeoncrawlers 119@/discussions https://forums.obsidianportal.com/discussion/1544/dead-status-for-pcs Tue, 21 Sep 2010 19:39:48 +0000 october 1544@/discussions
Here's what I'm envisioning:

1) Add a "Dead" checkbox on each character page
2) On the character list page, sort dead PCs to the bottom of the PC list (and dead NPCs to the bottom of the NPC list) with a [dead] tag or something similar next to their name
3) If the character was a PC, remove them from the party list in the sidebar]]> https://forums.obsidianportal.com/discussion/2245/features-list Fri, 25 Nov 2011 12:23:23 +0000 CutGlass 2245@/discussions
1) Features that have been requested that are currently being worked on (ideally with some idea of priority).
2) Features that are still being considered, either for reasons of practicality or popularity

I ask because I came to the forums with a couple of ideas and found pages and pages of suggestions here already.

Sorry, we could not find that page. (404)

Sorry, but we could not find the page you were looking for. Perhaps you were searching for a campaign or character that has been removed or renamed. Try searching for the content you were looking for.

Here's a couple of campaigns to get you might enjoy:

Kensing
The Crusade
Kith'takharos
Eberron
Brave New World

If you think you have found a bug, please let us know by posting a bug report in the support forum.

I am so programmed to ignore it, I had not actually linked to the games listed in ages. How about changing it to the top 5 campaigns of 2010? Maybe the top 5 active campaigns with the most fans? Something that if someone actually clicks on the links has been active in the last year? Sorry, went searching for some old campaigns and their links and saw the same message multiple times today.

One of the things I was quite keen to do if my initial playing around catches my fancy was get ascendant membership, for the extra maps but mostly I guess for making the campaign "private" viewing wise.

I have wiki pages for major organizations in my world on my site. Currently when I add a new character, I add the character, then go to the wiki page for the organization(s) the character belongs to and insert a link to the character in a list of other character's associated with that organization. I'm imperfect at this, so it would be nice if I could enter some code in the wiki page and a miniature copy of the character page would be rendered.

So if I type:



The wiki would render that as:

In the character list, each character has a thumbnail, his name and a list of tags. It would be nice if the name line could show the first n characters of the quick description so the characters have a little more context than what is given by tags.

What does it look like:

Something like the below, replacing the IMG wih the actual image of course.

IMG Rachel Stone - Magic supplier in Niagra Falls
IMG mage, niagra falls, merchent

The other option would be to allow the GM to define the temlate for the characer, but that would be a much larger UI challenge.

What I was thinking:

I enjoy the character page, but wish I could move the boxes around or add more. In other words, "Description", "Biography," and "GM Info" are great and all, but being able to remove Biography, change its name, or move it above Description would be useful. Being able to add additional boxes would be useful as well, since I keep track of my character's stats and would like a statistics box. Sure, I can make a work around, but perhaps others are not as savvy.

The implementation doesn't seem too difficult: You keep the original three boxes, but have three more boxes that start off as "closed," being acivated by checking a checkbox. In addition to a text field, each box could have a title box and perhaps a tagline box attached to it. Then, perhaps in the sidebar or at the bottom of the page could be an area where you determine the order they appear in. It could be something difficult like dragging the titles above or below each other, simpler like "move up" and "move down" buttons, or even typing numbers next to each title to determine the order. Whatever the case, it would make things simpler and/or more attractive if used well. Its not super important, but I thought it would be a neat feature.]]> https://forums.obsidianportal.com/discussion/2181/feature-request-auto-include-page Thu, 20 Oct 2011 15:20:47 +0000 Aremedis 2181@/discussions
the purpose of this would be so that, authors would be able to create their custom backgrounds, navigation menus, and style guides. which would then autopopulate to each page of the entire campaign. This would make making changes easier, as only one page of code would need to be edited, instead of all of them.

perhaps this code is auto inserted into a "code" subsection of each page.

If an edit is made to the code, there could be a 'update existing pages' checkbox to make sure all current pages are updated with the new code.]]> https://forums.obsidianportal.com/discussion/2180/something-between-gm-only-visible Thu, 20 Oct 2011 00:38:42 +0000 tetrasodium 2180@/discussions
I'm sure that similar situations exist in other games, using D&D/Pathfinder as an example... Just because the players know who the bigbad is & are doing individual investigations about him between games, doesn't necessarily mean the GM wants the players to know his stats, saving throws, class levels, etc.]]> https://forums.obsidianportal.com/discussion/2159/feature-request-visible-gm-only-adventure-posts Mon, 03 Oct 2011 19:16:22 +0000 LexMajor 2159@/discussions
So for my feature request: Pages that look different when they're GM-Only.

*What does it do?*

It's very simple: there is a way for me as a GM of a campaign to notice that a page or an Adventure post is currently "GM-Only".

*What does it look like?*

Doesn't matter much, as long as it's clearly visible. It can be a slightly different background color, a little icon "GM-Only!" right next to the page/log title, or anything else for that matter. As long as I can notice that this specific text is not visible to my players, and then act accordingly if it should be.]]> https://forums.obsidianportal.com/discussion/85/added-new-game-systems Tue, 18 Sep 2007 19:07:23 +0000 airellian 85@/discussions https://forums.obsidianportal.com/discussion/2171/bookmarked-discussions Fri, 14 Oct 2011 08:17:53 +0000 vstraydogstrutv 2171@/discussions

Setting a style for a DIV is *not* good enough - I want the wiki page titles, for instance, to be in the font I specify.

Times New Roman is a very unattractive font.
