Favorite GM game systems
January 2012
My favorite system is FATE. I love playing Shadowrun for the fluff, but the system itself annoys me, because it's the one that requires the most opening up the rule book to figure out how the hell something is supposed to be done. As far as genr…

Drama Cards - Generic Version
August 2011
These worked very well in my 4e game. As a point of usage, I found they worked best as a use 'em or lose 'em thing, otherwise players horde them and never use them. I handed each player 4 random cards per adventure to use or lose before the end of t…

Communicating with the players
August 2011
That totally depends on the players. From the perspective of a GM, it's pretty easy using the forum and selecting who to send the post to. If it only concerns one or two people, I've used the forum, just notifying those involved or done email. Gener…

Underline or Not Underline
August 2011
If we could have a campaign-wide CSS, then my preference would be no underline. I could set it once and be done, but having to do it for every link I'm just sticking to the default. Sometimes easy is better, particularly on underlines or not for lin…

Re-Introducing Myself
August 2011
Oh, so you're the person who created those drama cards that I used when I ran my DnD game. Those were freaking fantastic. My group enjoyed using them. There was a great moment where like five different cards were slammed down in the same turn trying…

Featured Campaign of the Month
August 2011
Thumbs up for Le Ballet for getting COTM! I like that a campaign I follow gets some spotlight. The NPC section is a thing of beauty. "A Malevolent Apparatus":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/a-malevolent-apparatus

I also have Twitter available in mine. In your account settings there is a Third Party Signin thing you can probably link up your twitter if you have one.

A Google Plus option would be sweet.

Multiple Groups in One Campaign
March 2011
Having a set of players have multiple parties is also a great way to show the rest of the world. In the previous campaign I ran, the players were two different sets of heroes working on the same goal, but in different parts of the world and sometime…

Anyone using the Items tab?
March 2011
I use it for custom and plot-point items. Actually, I kind of wish there was one for locations, like instead of having a wiki page for The Walkwright Inn or Lord Fluffinstuff's Masion, treat the location like a character or an item. I think it is…

Multiple Groups in One Campaign
March 2011
I'm putting the two groups on different continents, mainly to keep them easily separate in my head. I thought it might be cool to have both groups in the same location. For one thing it means less work for me in writing background material since it'…

Multiple Groups in One Campaign
March 2011
Been Ascendant for a couple of months, so that part is taken care of. I'm definitely thinking about simplicity for the players, because players don't have the same level of contact with the campaign that a DM does. Simply having to remember which in…

New Feature: Player Secrets
January 2011
Secrets is a good enough feature that I'm keeping Ascendant. A player has typed up a good bit of information only to be unable to see it since he forgot to check himself as in on the secret, so maybe some way to auto check the secret starter as …

In game character preparedness
September 2010
Spending gold for a specific enemy is not what they want to spend their money on. They'll probably survive the encounter anyway, even though it will be harder, and then not be set back X number of gold. Silvering their weapons delays getting the shi…

In game character preparedness

I've found it rare that characters research weaknesses to exploit a specific enemy or spend the money to gear up for it.

Campaign Home page problem
June 2010
Sorry, no help, but mine does the same thing so you're not crazy or anything. The blurb on the campaign page is two years old and the campaign is much different now, so I get where you're coming from.

Whats your favorite magic item?
May 2010
Aparatus of Kwalish since it kind of makes me laugh and the Deck of Many Things seemed so cool in high school. Otherwise, nothing really makes me spin with glee.

Lack of Order in Campaign List
December 2009
Oh most definitely. I like to browse campaigns and the campaign list isn't helpful at all. Having a way to sort by recent update would be helpful, stuff like rating is fine too, but it's more interesting to find active campaigns.

Cream of the Crop
October 2009
There are a few campaigns in the Cream of the Crop rotation that have the standard unmodified "This is Your Adventure Log" "This is Your Wiki" pages, etc., so they don't follow the same criteria as the featured campaigns.

Whoa! What happened? Everything is different!!
January 2009
I think it looks great. Some things are pushing out of their containers like the drop down list for the Wiki Page Link lookup in the write screen (firefox 3.0.5, 1280x800), but I love the font and spacing in the wiki and logs. Color scheme is good t…

New Campaign Homepage
September 2008
I like the Wiki as the home page. A separate home page that's nothing but a cover seems like a waste. Like in the late 90's how everyone's personal site had that annoying 'enter' page that nobody uses anymore? A separate home page is an extra step t…

Within Campaign Wiki Search
June 2008
A search function within the campaign wiki would be nice. Right now it's fine since I don't have very many pages, but I can imagine when there are many pages it will be harder to dig for an entry without manually creating an index page. Unless the…
