Adventure Log and the Forum
September 2011
I actually use a Wiki page to do pbp on Obsidian Portal for some of my players, as I find it a hell of a lot easier to clean up formatting in a wiki page edited by myself and the players in a back-and-forth exchange, to turn it into an Adventure Log…

I run a pbp "3.5 game on RPOL":http://rpol.net/game.cgi?gi=39973&date=1315499637 and I think the answers to most of your questions really come down to "what works for your group." Here are my completely anecdotal works-for-me-but-might-not-work…

The Hangouts function of Google+ might be something you'd like to look at. Zak S. of "Playing D&D With Pornstars":http://dndwithpornstars.blogspot.com (yes, you'll have to confirm you are an adult) has an every-Wednesday post for what he calls …

How to request a feature
August 2011
Halimath -- Have you considered setting up Wiki pages for participants in any play-by-post scene to post to? One person starts the scene, let's everyone else know it's ready for the others to participate, and just take turns adding to it. Once …

New to OP, Can I Run a Game Here?
June 2011
I would actually recommend that you simply use the wiki to run pbp if you want to do it here -- and you don't need to be Ascendant to do it. All players in your game can edit the Wiki page, and simply open it up and add whatever they want to it. …

Hello! (and a small plug)
July 2010
Ben, you might also want to check out "RPoL":http://www.rpol.net -- it's a volunteer, not-for-profit site that focuses on play-by-post. A search of the games shows more than half a dozen active "Pathfinder games looking for players.":http://rpol.ne…

FACEPALM!: Learning from your mistakes
July 2010

May I take the opportunity to commend you for letting their plan work, rather than insisting that they absolutely *must* become entangled in the fight? Because as a player, I for one would have been irked to have my clever scheme to avoid a potenti…

GuyHoyle -- Risus just recently became available as a system option when creating campaigns. OP member fuhsaz is also working on (may have made available?) a Dynamic Character Sheet for Risus as well -- so you're joining at the right time!

Problems with ratings - official thread
May 2010
Bumping this thread as a topic for general discussion -- We've had some one-star ratings being given to some of the site's top-rated campaigns by folks in their first day of membership, for no apparent reason other than to knock the recipients down …

Change who is GM
April 2010
If I recall correctly, the Powers That Be recently added co-GM capability, so two people can both have GM powers. You might consider setting it up so that you are always a GM, with the power to promote people in and out of the co-pilot's chair. Th…

Change who is GM
April 2010
HeavensAgent, I don't think that is possible without intervention of the site admins (and I don't know what their policy on this is). The current GM has to be the one to promote someone else to GM status (which can now be shared). Keep in mind tha…

How to get your players more involved
March 2010
*Motivating characters to participate on OP* I handle all the Adventure Log write-ups for my "campaign":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/rubies (I'm a control freak that way). However, my players have fleshed out communities/cultures and g…

Changes to PCs / NPCs / Characters (can't figure out how to make a character?)
January 2010
Does this mean that if the NPCs were, in fact, created through the NPC tracker tab on a campaign, that they are already "assigned" to that campaign?

Asking for help; offering advice

Caine -- Your GM has to issue an invite to you. S/he needs to go to the campaign Home page. On the upper write there is a link to "Manage Members" -- clicking on that opens a page that lists all the current members and has an option near the bo…

_I want to delete a campaign that is no longer running. How do I go about doing that?_ Go the Home page of your Campaign. In the upper right, click on "Edit Settings." At the very bottom of the page is an option to "Delete Campaign."

Asking for help; offering advice
January 2010
I take it your campaign Wiki is viewable only by members of the campaign, and you would like to selectively grant lurker status? I don't think that's possible right now (I could be wrong) -- that would be a cool feature, though.

How do I quit a campaign?
January 2010
You can't, short of the GM kicking you out. If the GM is not responsive to your requests -- you're out of luck and are stuck with it on your list. The feature has been requested by a number of people (myself included). I don't know if it is on th…

I've used letters in "my campaign":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/rubies - most often as a way to develop side stories for a particular PC; while he's off adventuring, a cousin is plotting on how to take over the family business (a little bi…

Remove myself from player list?
December 2009
After speaking with the devs, the 2 campaign limit only exists for DMs, not for players. Hurray! That's great, but doesn't address the original question -- why can't players be given the option to remove themselves from campaigns?

Player Option to Withdraw from Campaign
September 2009
I'd like the ability to be able to withdraw from a campaign, such that I am not listed as a player in the campaign nor does it appear on my profile. Campaigns never went anywhere, GM's not responding to requests to kick me to the curb. Similar r…

Remove myself from player list?

slugs?
September 2009
When you create a new NPC, the system automatically assigns a number to it. That is the default slug; it's a pain in the ass to remember, but it can be used to create a clickable link all by its lonesome without you needing to assign anything as fo…
