in How to whip up a planned/ unplanned session in no time January 2011

I've always tried for every week. If things fall through no biggie, but the point was to make every other week feel like the exception. But of course it totally depends on the people in the group and what their lives and schedules are like.

in Linking character from other campaign January 2011

you can link to any web page from your wikis. The only thing to note is that if the page you are linking to is not in the wiki you are linking from than you have to format the link differently. Heres what I mean. Normally we use double brackets […

in Should One Create a Campaign Page for a One-Shot Adventure? January 2011 edited January 2011

I don't see the problem with that at all. People use the tools here for more than just what they were meant for originally. I'm thinking of The Fantastinomicon, The Gibson Institute, my Gaming Music page, and some others, all of which aren't even ga…

in Linking character from other campaign January 2011

Hi Celestino, I'm not too sure this will be helpful advise but you might want to consider making a wiki page for this area. It will allow much more flexibility than making it a character and you can link to it from anywhere. I checked out your si…

Rase: When I talk I sound like a trumpet, some insane percussion and an electric guitar with lots of Wah-Wah!

in Is it wrong to want to TPK your group? January 2011

I've never TPK in my 15+ years of gaming and DMing. Poutine brings up some good points here: "So, I guess my question is this: Did your players not play to their characters' alignments? Did they have some sort of reason to be trying to save thes…

"I worked for a solid few weeks to find a common way to get a Journalist, a Detective, a Football Coach, Ladysman Researcher, Corporate Environmentalist, and a Marine into a story thread. I actually figured it out, which was no mean feat." I'd sa…

in wiki editor: save button, preview January 2011

Hey LonePaladin, I just checked your wiki page and I agree it is definitely very long. I have a suggestion which might be both helpful for you and for people browsing the page. Check out my little "Jump To" section on "this page":http://www.obsidian…

in Hello January 2011

Welcome Bogus! There's much to take in here. There are some visually stunning sites and some amazing story lines and unique settings. Have fun browsing! Historical settings have always sounded awesome to me, I love history, but have never quit…

Awesome. I really like the variety of backgrounds for the characters. It means that I'm sure you are going to develop quite the complex web to get them together. I can't wait to see how this pans out Rase. :)

So I'm digging the mystery already. :) When do you think the characters will all be playing together?

Hey you're Nicole from Tuesday's with Nicole huh? _Cool._ I have checked out your stuff in the past and I just want to say that you are really talented and thanks for sharing with us. I love to see people's art, especially when it comes straig…

in Background Feature: Ideas? January 2011

Those sound like great ideas! I don't have any picture suggestions, but I just wanted to throw out a request. I have noticed that there are some cool backgrounds, but that only the sides are visible, so there is so much left out. For instance I L…

It begins!!!! I'm excited. I'd read it, but it's 2am and my reading comprehension skills are not at their peak right now. Expect feedback tomorrow, or this weekend if I'm shoveling all day. :)

in The WIP thread January 2011

I've been eagerly awaiting updates on the few different WIPs that you guys shared! This is amazing Arsheesh! I don't know how you guys get your work to be so realistic looking, but a good magician never reveals their secrets so I won't bother ask…

I don't consider it a plug when all the campaigns mentioned are just very good examples of what can be done with the tools that OP provides. They're sort of role models for the rest of our campaigns. hahaha. Seriously though, just looking at those c…

I'm still learning the ropes as well, so I don't have anything more specific than what I've already suggested, it looks like you're doing great so far. If you are looking for some great campaigns to check out for layout and structure (as well as sto…

in Looking for some advice January 2011

Yeah, I imagined that it was only a rough draft, I was just reflecting on how just even a little centralization can make a huge navigational difference. That is what is so cool about OP. If you want you can just have some brief descriptions of m…

Welcome Adam! That sounds like a really cool idea, I'll definitely check it out when I get some time later this week. (Tonight is going to be the final adventure of my current campaign and I am psyched!!) And I just want to echo what Arsheesh …

in Looking for some advice January 2011

I've check out the stream-lining you did and I gotta say it is so much more accessible already. I'll be keeping an eye on your game because I'm very curious about what else will be "out there" to find. Also, thanks for checking out my campaign. …

So I've been browsing through some of your pages and I think what has caught my eye the most is "the Valtyl'grosh Empire ":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/verlora/wikis/valtylgrosh-empire. I love the idea of a necromantic society, and the ima…

Welcome to the Portal Derek! I haven't had time to check out your campaign yet, but I figured I'd say hi. I will let you know what I think when I look at it later. I'll probably have some time tonight to give it a quick browse. "DarkMagus":htt…

in Saying Hello! January 2011

Welcome! There are tons of helpful people in the forums who can answer coding questions, so if you come across a problem don't be shy; ask away! Also you might want to search the forums to see what has already been asked, because a decent percent…

in Base of Operations: Castle, or Airship? January 2011 edited January 2011

Heavy rain could make the deck slippery and if rigging snaps or heavy winds cause the ship to tilt they could be taking some seriously hindered Balance checks. That's all I can think of right now. I'd let it go on for as long as there is game …
