Just found the site while looking for new GM management tools and am enjoying myself immensely. Thought it was about time to introduce myself. I am the one, the only, the incomparable Mr. Riven Anam, but you can call me Riv if you like. : )

I have been playing tabletop RPG's for about 25 years and GM'ing games for about 22. Ive played a ton of different stuff, everything from D&D and AD&D to Battletech/Mechwarrior, Shadowrun, Most things from the early Whitewolf boom period and a few other various this and that's. 3.5 was my love but in order to get what i want and still be able to find a group who didnt think i was stubborn and old, i switched to Pathfinder.

I am currently working up a campaign in a world of my making for my group now. Which you can see here: "The Last Reign of the Technomancer":https://thetechnomancer.obsidianportal.com/

Please feel free to look it over and throw me any criticism or suggestions. I am not fishing for likes or anything like that, I just honestly appreciate the feedback of peers.

Anyway, I am sure I wil have plenty of questions as I move forward so you will be seeing those posts from time to time. Look forward to meeting some of you and basking in the insight and knowledge of my fellow GM's.

    Welcome Riv :)

    its still a bit early days to give you feedback on your site as you are just starting to make it - but one or two images on each page is usually a sound starting point. It helps to break up the wall of text we are all guilty of once you start adding text to your wiki pages (looks like it will be a lot of work, tastes vary, but getting the players involved in making the wiki pages helps to spread the load as well - "Shameless plug":http://blog.obsidianportal.com/happy-gamers-rewards-op-campaign/ ).

    I am new as well- signed up 3 years ago or so, but life got in the way, but now back to gaming. This site looks like it is having a lot of issues though- and why would they close a help forum?

    Has anyone ever read KODT?

    If you have and you've seen the story lines with Hard8 specifically dealing with Tuley Priswinkle, yeah. That.

    Hi Riv

    Nice to meet you and welcome to the OP Forums.
    I have travelled a similar path to you in gaming, having also ended up on Pathfinder at this stage.
    Your campaign looks interesting and you have obviously thought through quite a bit, seeing all the empty Wiki pages that have already been set up for future expansion.
    One bit of advice I will give is: make sure you stick up some pictures to liven up those long blocks of text.
    The concept of the Technomancers seems great!

    I look forward to meeting you again through the Forums,

    With Ascendant you now have access to custom CSS on your campaigns. Its a lot of fun to fiddle with! Take a look around the threads marked "CSS & Styling Discussion" for some starting points.

    The "stickied thread":http://forums.obsidianportal.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=3057&page=1 in particular is a good starting place.

    Welcome to the OP community! I am building a city game right now with 3.5 cause I like it more then pathfinder but a few of my group of giving me the stink eye for it!. As for criticism I like the warmachine pic ( I play circle!) and I would use some pictures on your wiki page to separate the links. If you need anything feel free to ask and the community is here to help!
