As a player I have two modes, Power Gaming and Roleplay. I am horrible at mixing the two. I believe the best base class is Cleric and of course I don't mind being a healer. I find a challenge in being a healer and also being versatile. I feel that a cleric's best trait is being versatile with their domains. I prefer playing in Forgotten Realms over any other setting, I don't know why but Faerun is just my type of world. I don't like any tech in the worlds.

But I believe that is a good but brief layout of my preferences in D&D and Roleplaying games in general.

I went ahead and got the Ascendant level of the site, just looking over it gives me a warm fuzzy feeling when I think of the things I can do with these tools. To the Mods/Devs/Web Designers - Awesome work, keep it up. You can have my 5$ a month for the work you do. Well worth it in my book.

I did have one quick question that could probably be answered by one of the more seasoned Obsidian Portal members -

I am running a Faerunian campaign so with that, what is the rule of using pictures/maps/information from the Forgotten Realms and 3.5 books on this website? I don't want to get anyone in trouble due to copyrights and such and I couldn't find too much on this in the forums. Though I searched for it briefly (10 mins or so).

I am glad to be apart of this community and look to learn a lot from all of you.]]> https://forums.obsidianportal.com/discussion/1841/why-yes-virginia-gamer-girls-do-exist Fri, 18 Mar 2011 14:58:15 +0000 Kenari_Sanura 1841@/discussions

I am opening up the campaign to the community, so if you have any ideas or suggestions feel free to pass them on. If you'd like to take one part of the world and use it for a campaign of your own, drop me a line and I'll likely okay it. There really isn't much to the world at the moment, but that should change as time goes by.

Please note that the Wolf Folk, the people of the Wolf Folk Sea, and the Unicorn Orcs are reserved by your host for his development. Any other race or culture is open for your development, with your host's input.

Note that while the main campaign is designed for the Mythus game, any campaign set in the world of Ki can be used with your favorite set of rules.

That's the message, more to come as I further develop the campaign.]]> https://forums.obsidianportal.com/discussion/1838/loki-has-arrived Wed, 16 Mar 2011 23:01:23 +0000 Dungeon_Master_Loki 1838@/discussions
I've been GMing since 1979 and have played a wide variety of systems. Since their introduction Spelljammer and Planescape have been the baseline settings for all of my fantasy campaigns.

I'm the List Ogre for the Spelljammer Yahoo Group. I've also been a manager on the Official Planescape Website (Planewalker.com) since 2004, and have been an ongoing contributor to the Official Spelljammer Website (Spelljammer.org) since 2001.

I started playing D&D around the 2000's, and only recently found a new group to game with (now playing 4th). I signed up for OP a year ago, but have only started using it for a campaign that I'm starting up with some (since graduated) college friends. All three of my players are new, so hopefully this website will be a good resource for the lot of us. Our campaign link is http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/cloths-of-heaven . Kinda bare right now, but I'm adding stuff slowly (and some of it is GM only till we run our first session this weekend) and I've already begun using some helpful templates/advice posted in these forums.

I'm also gonna take advantage of the wiki abilities and compile my yet-to-be-finished modern, post-apocalypse campaign setting "The World of Advent:" where Magic is a mineral resource that is mined and inscribed upon.

I've been running RPG's for a long time (so I think I'm pretty proficient with that aspect of the site), but I've never been good at staying particularly active on interweb forum whatzits. However, I'm liking a lot of what I've found on this site, and I just have to say cheers to the wizards behind this thing.
World-building is one of my favorite parts of running a game, so I love having the ability to create an easy-to-navigate chronicle of the world my players and I are creating. I've tried running a campaign as a Facebook group, and it is just very limited, so it is terrific to have these tools available.

Thanks for making this incredible resource and community (unlike so many forums I've tried to get into, the discussions here seem pretty on-topic and respectful -a novelty in my opinion), and I invite you all to take a look at my wiki.

I DM 2 Campaigns on the site a 3.5 written by myself and a 4e that follows Modules put out by WoC.

If there is one thing I love about the site it is the ability to bring players out of their shells, having them participate in creating the world they are in and make them really think of their backstory.

So yea, love the site, looking forward to using taking advantage of the forums.

Festival of the Lion D&D 3.5
Monday Nights

I've been slacking on this site and am in the process of rebuilding it. Trying to get my players to take advantage of the tools they have available. Plus I havn't been updating information as much as I should. There has been a lot of story that has not been posted on the site.

No Rest for the Wicked D&D 4e
Thursday Nights
http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/friday-night-4e
A very active wiki. Almost all of my players post back stories and other adventure logs. Half of the players have never played before and all of them have never touched 4e. This is also my first attempt at 4e

Take a look and if you have any suggestions or comments I would love to hear them.

I've been an OP member for a few months now and I'm just getting around to introducing myself. My "Saberpunk":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/saberpunk campaign is in its eighth session. We play every other week but were on hiatus during the winter holidays. Things pick up again in two weeks. This is a regular tabletop game at my house (not online, sorry).

Saberpunk starts with a typical D&D world, drops it into an urban setting, and infuses it with cyberpunk tropes. You can read more on the campaign site, but the essence is that magic only exists in this world where huge numbers of people collect together (cities), and magic mutates everything it touches. Thus, all the "weird" races are created by magic; all "classed" characters are created by magic; monsters are aberrations created by the collective consciousness of the populace.

My wiki strategy is to drop enough background to get the players excited, and then develop bits and pieces of the setting as they come up in play.

By day, I'm a Java programmer for a well-known security company. In my scarce freetime, I'm an indie games enthusiast. I dabble in game design, and do some game editing now and then. You might have heard of some of the games I worked on, but probably not, though a fair number of people seem to be familiar with the One Bad Egg (3rd-party D&D 4E) products that I edited.]]> https://forums.obsidianportal.com/discussion/1748/saying-hello-and-etiquette-question Thu, 03 Feb 2011 03:36:08 +0000 LariusMcAvern 1748@/discussions
What is the etiquette concerning linking to a fellow gamer's campaign wiki if it has great information you think your party could use? I am starting a Dark Sun campaign and I see that there is already information about generic things like Cities and Landscapes that is already fleshed out in other peoples campaign. Is it bad form to link to their description? I don't want to upset anyone and I thought I would check in first.

Thoughts?]]> https://forums.obsidianportal.com/discussion/1773/i-ran-an-interesting-one-shot-adventure-this-weekend Sun, 13 Feb 2011 20:14:47 +0000 DarkMagus 1773@/discussions
So this weekend I got together with the two remaining members of our gaming group to discuss the setting for the campaign we will hopefully be starting soon and to go over how the character creation process will work. We haven't played D&D in nearly a month now and we were all Jonesing for some action. I came up with the basic ideas for a one shot adventure that the players could easily jump into. Normally one of the biggest obstacles for players in a single shot is "getting into character". For a campaign world it may take many sessions for the player to get really comfortable in their characters shoes, to think and feel like their character. Trying to avoid this problem by cutting out the role playing makes the game feel more like a board game than a role playing game because no one is in character and meta gaming tends to be the rule.

So what I did to make the best use of our time and make this one shot as simple as possible to jump right into I told the players ahead of time that I had a one shot in mind for later, but no other details. We got together and worked on the other campaign for about an hour or so.
