in Obsidian Portal Launch Feedback November 2013

Hello, I'm not completely sure this is a reforging issue, but it seems likely. There doesn't seem to be a way to remove somebody as a friend. I think this used to exist, but I'm not 100% sure. As a related question... On the "Friends" setting for…

in Favorite kickstarter new feature? May 2013

I would really prefer textile, it is much faster to type than raw html, and kind of forces you to use a consistent presentation. I recognize that I am probably in the minority on this preference. Actually, when it comes right down to it, I prefer…

in Favorite kickstarter new feature? May 2013

I am looking forward to Maps the most. I would rather do textile than natural editing, so I am hoping that remains a option. Steve

in Adventure and Campaign Publishing May 2013

I've often thought about a tool for game publishers to sell adventures or campaigns as OP content. Imagine going to Paizo and buying a new adventure, then Paizo uses the OP API to automatically insert the appropriate wiki pages, characters, items, m…

I've toyed with providing a nav bar like that at the top of the calendar. Is that something people would like to see standard? ImmortalDM, would you be willing to share the textile markup for yours? Steve

in Java Library [Planning] September 2012

Hello, I'm the maintainer of the Ruby wrapper for the OP API.I haven't got much interest in digging into Java right now, but here is a link to a discussion the maintainer of the .Net library and I had regarding saving wiki pages and characters. M…

in Custom CSS Beta Discussion July 2012

Micah, Typekit integration that I have seen in the past was much simpler than that. A text field to input the id of the "kit" for your campaign. OP would then insert the appropriate tags to load the kit from "typekit". It is up to the user to…

ChainsawXIV, Does this help. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2892691/font-face-fonts-only-work-on-their-own-domain. I know that it is possible because I've used services like TypeKit (typekit.com) which exist to serve fonts for your web si…

in Campaign Calendar July 2012

Hi there, The tools has fairly limited customizability right now. You can pick a game world and a year. What people who need more customizability have done is create a calendar from the world that is closest to what they want, then edit the w…

in Campaign Calendar June 2012

If anybody is still paying attention to this thread, I built this feature using the Obsidian Portal API. It setups a wiki page with a game world calendar that you can customize. Forgotten Realms, Greyhawk, Golarion and Real World calendars are suppo…

The second tool is now in beta testing. Chronicler will take the adventure logs for you campaign and turn them into an epub that you can use on pretty much any eBook reader. A cover page is generated using the campaign banner and the table of conten…

OK, I lied. Try it now. It is hard for me to test the issue, but I think I fixed it.

Huh, it is working fine for me and my google account. I will have to look at it, but that isn't going to happen tonight.

Hey, pushed a couple of bug fixes and google support tonight. Hope that make it more usable for you.

in Created a Game World Calendar Tool Using the API June 2012

Asheville, it should be doing the correct days of the week that far into the future, assuming we still use the same calendar system in the future. If you want to test it a little more, try generating the next year and see if the days carry forward c…

The advantage to me of using Twitter/Facebook is that almost everybody has them and so I don't need to manage passwords and so forth myself. This lets me put more time into the tools and as a result I've got the next tool almost ready to go. If I a…

Rase, this is a "web app" not a "smartphone app". You can totally use it from the browser. Steve

in Getting 401 Unauthorized Trying to Create Wiki Pages or Characters November 2011

Damn, I got it to work. I needed to set my content type to application/x-www-form-urlencoded, which tricks my OAuth library (ruby OAuth) into not sending the body_hash header. That seems to be a terrible hack, and I suspect a problem on the OP si…

in Getting 401 Unauthorized Trying to Create Wiki Pages or Characters November 2011

Just to confirm. You are NOT sending a body_hash as part of your OAuth headers on post?

in Getting 401 Unauthorized Trying to Create Wiki Pages or Characters November 2011

Finally got power back on after the storm. In Googling around, I've read that out of sync clocks can cause the 401 issue. My clock seems right, but I don't know how to check OP. However, I think I can assume that if you have it working their cloc…

in Getting 401 Unauthorized Trying to Create Wiki Pages or Characters October 2011

If you can post the json you use for a create, the URL and headers that would be very helpful. I'll be happy to post my character create json when I get it working. Right now I still get the same 401 error for both characters and wiki's. If you w…

I'm happy to try to help you create characters. Can you post more information about the error you are getting and the URL you are posting to? Thanks, Steve

in Getting 401 Unauthorized Trying to Create Wiki Pages or Characters October 2011

Thanks for the info. I looked quickly at your code and realized it is going to take me some time to try to figure out what you are doing differently. I don't think it is the OAuth. I can get and put things including wiki pages and characters, but…

in 404 on /oauth_clients September 2011

I found this somehow. The new URL is /oauth/clients. There seems to be an issue with the revoke button on that page, though. Its action is /oauth/oauth/revoke instead of /oauth/revoke. Thanks, Steve

in Mobile Site Beta June 2011

I like it for browsing the wiki on my iPhone. I don't have a real need for that, however. It isn't great on my iPad. It doesn't really take advantage of the extra real estate -- I don't suspect you were aiming for that. At the moment, I would use…

in Exotic Weapons and proficiencies in D&D April 2011

I agree with this this sentiment. Exotic weapons seen prohibitively expensive. OTOH, you don't want them to be too common either. In my Pathfinder games, I use traits for extra weapon proficiencies. In Pathfinder, a trait is sometimes described …

in API Feature Requests March 2011

I mentioned this somewhere else, but I'll add it here so that it won't get lost. It would be nice if the url for getting a campaigns wiki could take a parameter to filter by posts or wiki pages and return all of it if the parameter is missing. …
