in Hello! July 2010

Welcome to you Jack. The other guys are right of course, but I find one of the easiest ways to spruce up your site is just a few relevant images here and there. Custom banners and icons are great, but you can get by with just header and bold text if…

in FACEPALM!: Learning from your mistakes July 2010

Haha I agree sewicked, "are you sure?" is sort of a freebie that the DM'll give you, don't turn it down unless you've really thought it over :P And I agree Jim, that's pretty fantastic.

in Implementing Player Journals, Other questions July 2010

Welcome from me as well. On my page (the Melekar Chronicles, which Sheesh linked to), I have all the character journals as Adventure Logs, and then I have wiki pages for each of the characters that I put links to each entry on, so you can see them o…

in Thoughts on my plot outline (it's REALLY long, sorry...) July 2010

Hey, thanks guys, yeah, I've really put a lot of thought into this one, and so far the players are enjoying it. I'm still on the Slaughterguarde adventure module, so I have a LONG way to go but it's been pretty awesome so far. Sheesh, as far as them…

Part 3: They must discover that Vecna made a deal with Mephistopheles, trading the soul of Kas, the First Betrayer, for passage into the ancient corners of Cania, looking for secrets forgotten since the beginning of time. The party must navigate …

Part 2: After finishing with the war, the pcs find out that there have been increased drow attacks on "surface" elves, and they are asked to do something to help. (Expedition to the Demonweb Pits) This draws them into the middle of Abyssal affair…

in A Neat Use for the Campaign Forums June 2010

You weren't an Ascendant Member yet Sheesh? I guess I just assumed :P. That's a good idea, though, I might have to try it (although I really only have one player that contributes on a regular basis, plus an intermittent one, so we'll see how that go…

in Two New Nominations for Jully June 2010

I hear ya Jim, you're one of the first friends I made on here and I think we've both contributed to each others' campaigns and sites. It's a shame that only one of us can get picked for July (hopefully they'll pick us one right after the other ;).

in Two New Nominations for Jully June 2010

Let me just start by saying that I'm flattered to even be nominated. I've been putting a lot of work into this site and my world recently, and I'm glad to see it shows :). I've really got my work cut out for me though, going up against the likes of …

Hey just actually watched the videos. Nice job! I like the choice of music too!

in Music in your game June 2010

not a bad idea sandman, and i might keep that in mind for certain events, but what I've aimed for with these playlists is to have at least 8-10 songs (more in many cases) that play on a random loop so that it will all fit the scene, won't have too m…

in Dreams June 2010

Hey Clock, glad to see someone else creating a video(s) for their page. I agree it's a pretty good way to immerse the characters. I've only made the one so far, but the dream sequences is a great idea. However, on the link, it's either the wrong lin…

in Music in your game June 2010

In an effort to be prepared for shifting moods, and to not have to think too hard about the music, so as not to distract me from more important things, I've come up with 16 different playlists (some of which will be specific for my game). They are a…

in Feature Request: Wiki Wish List June 2010

For number 2, you can view the code of the whole page by using the view source of your browser, and then find the code that they've added, but I agree that it would be nice if you could view just their custom code. I agree with your other points,…

Ooooh.... that's a great idea Clock! I might have to do just that!

in Help with Code June 2010

I used adobe premiere (although I really didn't need such an advanced program) and just used images I found (with general acknowledgments on my miscellany page) with some stock music and I wrote the titles. All in all, I think it took maybe an hour.

Just decided to go with a simpler layout so i wouldn't have to mess with combining textile and html. Here's what i "came up with":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/melekar

And also, Chainsaw, is there a way to embed a video in that first div tag? :P I can get the text p(oembed). to appear right where I want the video to be, but for some reason, the embedding won't work. will it just not work inside the div tags or …

in Help with Code June 2010

Do you mind if I use this template for my main page? I have my wiki all set-up the way I want it, but my home page is dull and boring, and this layout would be perfect, as I have a trailer that would fill the stop section perfectly.

in Loving the Portal! June 2010

Welcome to you Frank! You site is looking very nice so far! I find that there are more and more great looking pages, thanks to the efforts of Gnunn and Chainsaw to get the coding ball rolling, and then the creativity and ingenuity of all the members…

You page is looking pretty... well, pretty there BrokenClock. I love your banners for your main wiki page!

in Papercraft & Dungeon Sets June 2010

Gnunn, I agree with MapTools being a resource hog, I'm just lucky that both my computers are pretty up to date :). I only use the LAN feature of the program, so it allows me to use my laptop sort of as a DM screen, and only reveal to the players wha…

in Papercraft & Dungeon Sets June 2010

those are some pretty awesome dungeon tiles guys! I might look into them, just for a more authentic feel. Right now, for mapping, I use MapTools. I have my laptop as the DM client, and then I have my desktop computer as all the PCs. I game in my liv…

in Papercraft & Dungeon Sets June 2010

I do not use 3-d dungeon tiles, however, after looking at some of the links you guys posted and some of the results, I think I might start. Some of that stuff just looks absolutely fantastic. My only concern is that it does look quite time consuming…

in Getting My Campaign to Featured Status Level June 2010

yeah, feel free to use my code, i made it with trial and error, putting together some of chainsaw's and gnunn's tutorial so the code is pretty messy, but it'll give you the basic outline. the main thing that made it easy was each of the links on my …

in Getting My Campaign to Featured Status Level June 2010

I think I figured out why it looks odd on mine. for whatever reason, even though I'm using 3.6.3 as well. the text appears larger than normal (the actual font, not my zoom settings) so that's causing a second tile of the background to appear below t…

That's really strange, I'm using firefox on windows 7 and that's still how it appears to me, but if you're not having that issue in any browser, I wouldn't worry about it then (I just checked in IE and that problem isn't there, weird...). PS. Tha…

in Problems with ratings - official thread June 2010 edited June 2010

Personally I think the rating system is fine the way it is. It's not perfect, but it works as well as can be expected. In any online community that uses things like this, there are people who use the system to "troll" if you will. Because this is a …

in Problem with Bulleted Lists in Safari June 2010

So I have no idea why it's doing that in Safari, but I wanted to say that your site is looking pretty awesome, and looks like you're going to be putting a lot of detail into it, which is great :).
