There is a lot you can do on appearance as well without CSS. When my campaign won it was pre-css, and the site now looks very similar to the site back then. Basileus is also correct on the other suggestion -we all love adventure logs, especially if the players are involved.
OK, not to sound like I'm tooting my own Horn, but honestly, almost all of what is on my Shadows Site, GrayGriffin, is done without CSS. It's all textile code and Images
Wolfhound's old tutorials were a great help in starting. Believe they still on his Dallas Site

Congratulations to "Abersade":https://www.obsidianportal.com/profile/Abersade and the rest of the gang over at "Rise of the Durnskald":https://rise-of-the-durnskald.obsidianportal.com/ for another great addition to Obsidian Portal.
nice :) good to see this back again. I miss my old games equivalent of "squid heading":https://rise-of-the-durnskald.obsidianportal.com/wikis/house-rules sometimes: Its been way too long since I had a group that took things that seriously :)
I'm glad folks enjoy our game, it's been a long work in progress that I'm happy to say shows no signs of stopping anytime soon.

Well deserved win for one of the most beautiful and intriguing campaigns on the boards.
I loved the interview and have also added a few words in your Site Comments section.

FYI, I have the tech team looking into how badges and the campaign page are updated.
If it's manually done, we'll do it manually this time which may take about a week to figure out and get done, though longer term I'd like to have more automation in place, so we can reduce the time.
Thanks for your patience, this is the first time the team is working on it, so there is some 'figuring out' going on at the moment.
Thanks again everyone, now to try for campaign of the year. ;)

I figured out how to update COTM entries, so Rise of the Durnskald appears on the "campaigns page":https://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns and the "cotm/featured campaigns page":https://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/featured
EDIT: In campaign specific news I've changed up the main wiki page a bit to use the format that I was testing. My players seemed to like it, if any of you take a gander let me know what you think. I still feel like I can do more with it, it's a work in progress. You can view the Black Library "here":https://rise-of-the-durnskald.obsidianportal.com/wikis/main-page.

Congratulations Abersade! And thank you to killervp for your continued work and devotion to OP. andreww38, nice to see you around and grateful for your assistance in moving OP forward.
@andreww38, just an fyi, I know there was an automation to the player in featured, as people that joined after Rebuilt won found that they had gained the badge.
Yes. This is correct KVP. Which was kind of a let down, since I worked really hard in Regnum with AZ-Rune submitting logs (epic poetry), artwork and extra ideas the GM could use, hoping to help our campaign earn CotM so that I could join all my friends in having that badge. Then, after only one guest appearance in Rebuilt I got it anyway...little did I know the very next month Regnum earned CotM! It took some of the pizzazz for me already having it.

Let me know if anyone has been left out.
This is done manually, so a bit of time needed to gather the fillet of a fenny snake, eye of newt and toe of frog, etc.
Not all of it pleasant though...
