Yeah, it's hard to justify, what with all the precious resources so readily available on Earth. All those pesky humans hoarding trace amounts of gold in their bodies... More than $65 million worth if the population could only be harvested... pulped.…

I'll toot my own horn here a bit (but mostly Winchell Chung of Atomic Rho). I used his process to create a node map for my Sci-Fi setting, seen here: https://outremer.obsidianportal.com/maps/49601 The short version is that it uses data from th…

I'm glad to see positivity toward and from the community - honestly its the most important thing to me from OP. Its also super cool that you got your issues addressed, Krothos. However, my doubts have more to do with the technical ability of Kale…

in religion and player interaction December 2015 edited December 2015

Religion is pretty integral to my world-building, in fact it's usually where I start. It sets up the cosmology, the legendary history, what races exist and why, and any significant "magical" aspects of the setting. After that it lends itself to l…

in fantasy races December 2015

I'm a traditionalist (I suppose). I like having a certain distance between the races in terms of daily interaction, even if from a historical perspective there are ties between them. Similarly, if there is a non-human in the group, I like to exp…

in 100 Fans- Gold Jacket to Concord of Ashes December 2015

Awesome! Great campaign, and that jacket is better than the lead underpants you get at 20 fans... :O

in Current OP Issues Tracking List December 2015

I used to have a similar issue - having to resize it isn't fixed, of course, but is at least more of an annoyance than being stuck unable to use it.

@Tau: Can you click and drag from the bottom right corner of that window (the little button under the scroll bar)?

Howdy Lxcharon! Texan here as well (in Denton as well actually). Welcome to the community! Campaign is looking good - I did come across a broken image on the Pantheon page (just FYI :) )

Gaze too long into the abyss... and it will ignore you while continuing to collect your credit card payments.

in Core Features December 2015 edited December 2015

@killervp: I sent you an email, let me know if I got your address correct. (Edit: NVM, gotcha) So when you all are talking about maps... are you talking specifically about the "Google Maps"-like interface with labels, symbols, etc... or on a more…

in How long until the payment shows up on my CC December 2015 edited December 2015

Hmm, you know... I assumed it was under "Update your payment details", but it isn't. I guess maybe you'd have to allow it to expire, or else "downgrade" and then re-enroll in one of the plans (assuming you're wanting to do something like switc…

in How long until the payment shows up on my CC December 2015

After you have logged in to the main portion of the site, in the upper left where your account details are (it should say "Welcome Username"), the dropdown menu should contain an options for "My Ascendant Membership" where you can set your subscript…

in Background images tiling vs stretching December 2015 edited December 2015

Face? What face? I'm almost certainly not trying to trick you into releasing a hungry, nameless, extra-dimensional entity into the mortal world through your screen... I'm not even sure why you would bring up such a ridiculous theory... - wh…

in Background images tiling vs stretching December 2015 edited December 2015

That's awesome, ketherian! I've been away from OP for about a year, and its really gratifying to find that folks are still using those templates. If you want to play with a tiling version of your texture, here's a link to a quick version I whippe…

in Background images tiling vs stretching December 2015 edited December 2015

Change the border-image-repeat property to "stretch round". I.e.: border-image-repeat:stretch round; For this property, if you have two values, the first governs horizontal and the second applies to vertical. It won't be perfect without a tili…

It was network goblins. Trust me, I'm a professional, and I blame them all the time.

I'm glad you at least got (some of?) your money back from the bank. Sorry to hear about your frustrating situation.

in Scale for Donjon random world map December 2015

Not specific to that map creator, but the figure I've heard bandied about for how far a person can travel on foot in a day (in various role playing discussions) is about 30 miles (assuming fairly normal conditions over grassland/light hills). Of cou…

So... the hypothetical problem that one (hypothetically) might run into with creating an alternate place for this sort of thing is trying to boil down to a few "core functions" that serve the community's needs. Whatever might be functioning imperfec…

My two cents: Terms of Service specify it this way: "Content is not obscene, libelous or defamatory (more info on what that means), hateful or racially or ethnically objectionable, and does not violate the privacy or publicity rights of any third…

in I Don't Know How To Fix This September 2014

Awesome, glad to hear it worked. That's one of those habits picked up working in IT for a few years... any time some inexplicable errors showed up and there weren't any clear resolutions, clear the cache and reset browser settings.

Remove the opacity property and use an rgba value for the background-color instead. Example: @.main-content-container {background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.5);}@ The last value in an rgba color is the alpha channel, which will have the same ef…

in Clickable link revealing hidden pop-up textbox (like an Alert) September 2014 edited September 2014

Yah, I used fixed positioning to make it positioned relative to the browser window rather than other elements. Per NikMak's method, something like this would do the trick (add into the ".popupcontent" CSS): @top: 35%; left: 25%; width: 50%; z-ind…

in Clickable link revealing hidden pop-up textbox (like an Alert) September 2014 edited September 2014

A work in progress solution. This should be possible with pseudo-selectors and the adjacent-sibling selector. It isn't really practical yet, but this is what I have so far. Some oddities at the moment I haven't figure out yet: This doesn't work w…
