Featured Campaign of the Month
January 17
Amazing 6th edition campaign @Dropbeartots and players. My group recently started a 4E campaign. Your comparison of 6e to prior editions was very interesting and i'll be running it past our GM. Great to hear skills have been consolidated. Also m…

D&D Movie Review
April 2023
Agreed, definitely the best D&D show/movie so far. Worth seeing at the theater. Hope it does well enough to justify more productions.

@Dropbeartots, congrats on a great site and SR6 campaign CotM. Still got my SR 20th anniversary edition around here somewhere... About 'in-person gaming on hiatus', are you using any of the great options for remote play out there? Free options too,…

Professional Hosting
January 2020
Probably the best step toward this would be to stream a home game. A big undertaking. But then you could point prospects to your YouTube channel for a taste of what you can deliver. And monetize the channel if it gets big enough. Campaigns posted…

Alternatives to Obsidian Portal?
January 2020
I’ve found nothing remotely comparable to OP. Theoretically you could build your own site off a template, a massive undertaking. I guess the next best thing would be posting things to a blog + generic wiki site. I use RPTools / maptool for VTT bec…

How are things these days?
September 2019
The old 500 errors and most other bugs have been squashed for most of this year. Been months since i've had any problems. As long as I have an active RPG campaign going i'll be here.

13th Age Campaign reaching year 5 -- a few highlights to share
August 2019
A campaign spanning years is an accomplishment. You need a reliable group for that, or flexibility to accommodate different groups over time. I have this idea i'm going to limit my current campaign to 3 years, but things happen. If we can continu…

'QUEST'ION OF THE MONTH - AUGUST 2019
August 2019
Council of Esus and the 'Nightwatch' from Fall From Heaven lore (which i'm using for a d&d campaign setting). World-spanning secret religion pulling levers behind the scenes. Like the Illuminati which are my other favorite.

Favorite House Rule?
May 2019
Critical misses have been a hit...pardon the pun. These are always memorable and sometimes hilarious. Applied equally to PCs and NPCs alike. https://arcanearth.obsidianportal.com/wikis/house-rules#criticalmisses

Reaching out for input, feedback, thoughts, etc..
September 2018
I too would like to endorse Keryth987's suggestion to sort Campaign Listing by number of favorites after most-recently updated date. And a separate page listing COTY and COTM campaigns, again listed by most-recently updated.

Unconquered Kingdoms only needs 20 more favorites to make the first page!
September 2018
I occasionally throw the odd maptools screenshot into adventure logs recounting more complicated battles. Really helps understand the situation. We're using v1.3.b87. Around 6 years old now, but it's stable. This version has all the feature we ne…

Looking over your campaign home page, I thought to spy a fellow RPTools/Maptools virtual tabletop user. The forest map with the giant spiders. We’re on our 2nd campaign using it.

Congratulations Bortas! Hard to believe Morwindl hasn't won COTM until now...so many good campaigns, so little time I guess. What a site and what a campaign. Love the use of minis and dioramas. My favorite character is Sparklegem...how can one no…

GM Advice?
June 2018
I had a similar experience with Colville and Angry GM. Great stuff. I backed Colville's Strongholds and Followers kickstarter..the one that got over $2 million. He's on a roll. Should be a good book and just in time for my group hitting mid-leve…

Wrote a goblin myth for my campaign. Any ideas to spice it up?

Hilarious, i'm using that for my own goblin tribe. Credited to Robling the Goblin.

February 2018
I like it, vile and violent just as a goblin myth should be. Maybe consider adding something about the gods or other divine angle (or profane in this case). On a much bigger scope, think about a goblin creation story (real, or as imagined by gobli…

The intermittent 500 errors are back. I've been getting them as recently as 5 minutes ago. I find if you try a few more times it usually saves.

Renewed as well. I'm pleased with OP though as we all know, support is sometimes a problem. I have noticed the site seems to be down less often in recent months. Just kicked off a new campaign. Months of prep that would be a huge amount of work …

Maps not appearing

Uploaded campaign map and updated it a few times this month, no issues noted. Could well have been a temporary delay in the google maps service or API? Not sure how much of that is under the control of OP. I have seen issues where the Soundcloud …

Not too familiar with Fading Suns setting, but looks like you've made a good start porting it over to OP. A few formatting tips you can play with: 1. You might consider going to Settings / Advanced and changing 'Content Max Width (px) ' to 1600. T…

5th Edition D&D - General Discussion
August 2017
I skipped editions 2-4 (a 30-year break). Got the 5th edition this year and have greatly enjoyed reading the books and tweaking the rules to suit my old-school group. Here are some house rules I've come up with.

The "Review my Campaign" thread
July 2017
Just a note to the community that Gamma World 2754 concluded earlier this year after 88 sessions and 3+ years. How time flies. My next project is Arcanearth, a D&D5e conversion of the Fall From Heaven fantasy setting for Civilization IV. At pr…
