Game System Displayed on Campaign

JaymesBolton

Although you can search for games from the main OP site by system there is no way to see what game system a campaign is just be looking at it. A lot of times when I look at people's sites from links on the forums I have NO idea what system they are playing. So my request is to have a place that shows the game system someplace in the campaign...maybe on the main page around the quick stat section?

Ok, assuming the DM has opted for the built-in system tag, and not covered it up with background/html/graphics/etc., you should see it at least on the Home Page (where you first go when you go to a site via standard links) right below the tagline - if one exists - or the Campaign name; it should appear as a light blue link by default.

If the DM has not opted to use the built-in system tag, or has opted to cover it up, you will not see any blatant identification for the system - except by accident - unless they have purposefully and successfully created their own. The best games I've seen (in terms of visual presentation at least) will often make a clear indication of what system is intended, usually in the campaign banner at the top, or somewhere easy to get to, or immediately available/visible.

There is no default for this particular item.

Ummm....I looked thru several campaigns, including ones with no graphics, and can not find this elusive displaying of the game system. I am I just blind? If possible can you direct me to an example?

it is listed until you put a banner up, in the upper left corner. The banner covers it. I agree it would be nice if the game system would be listed in the Quick Stats box on the right.

If you look at my "Campaign":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/star-trek-late-night it is not listed but if you look at "this one":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/legacy-of-the-portal-war it is.

Ahhhhh....thank you kindly....ok so this is me now officially changing my request from a game system display to MOVING the game system display over to the right next to the "party" section so it can be easily viewed and not hidden by banners.
