in Is this possible? June 2008

Permissions and such have grown _organically_ (which is a nice way of saying _with little or no planning_). From the get-go we wanted to minimize permissions as they are a real pain to deal with. Further, characters and campaigns have always bee…

in 404 on Campaign Invite and Character June 2008

I think we fixed this by changing your username. It used to have a period in it, correct?

in Anyone interested in writing tutorials / help guides? June 2008

No, and it's my fault. Several people have volunteered, but I can't set aside the time to make a place for the tutorials. Still, it's on my todo list as soon as I get some free time.

in Anyone use projectors in their games? June 2008

I play at the student center of the university where my group got together. However, that was 5 years ago and none of us are still in school. Still, it's centrally located for all of us so we can't move. I want to play at my house, but it just is…

in Additional Gaming Systems June 2008

Can you provide a link to power trip? I found the others, but not that one.

in Martin Ralya of Treasure Tables returns to the blogosphere June 2008

So what do you guys think of Gnome Stew? I started following it, but quickly got tired. It just seems that there isn't really that much to say about GM'ing, and it's all been said before. I've also stopped commenting as much, because it takes a…

bq. I’m one of those roleplayers who pretty much defaults to having her characters be idealized versions of herself. Same here. I try to diverge out, but I always wind up playing the same default do-gooder. I only hope that I'm better when I pl…

in Linking to the wiki from NPC and PC Bio's? June 2008

Glad you got things figured out!

Added!

in Requests for new game systems June 2008

Adding frenzy!!! I've added pretty much all the requested systems. Keep the requests coming!

in Martin Ralya of Treasure Tables returns to the blogosphere May 2008

Yeah, Martin posted pretty much every day for something like a year. Most of it was pretty good advice, too. Still, I hate to say it, but I think the D&D advice blog market is a little saturated. There's really only a handful of topics that…

in FIXED - Tags loose their " when NPC is edited May 2008

The dropping of quotes is fixed. I'll still have to work on the stacking, but it shouldn't be too hard. Keep the bug reports coming!

in FIXED - Commenting on adventure post hangs May 2008

This is fixed now. Turns out that IE and Firefox treat submit buttons a little differently. Learn something new every day... Like I said, we rely on bug reports like this to find things that have slipped through, so thanks a ton for this report!

in New Campaign: Managuenne May 2008

Welcome!!! This venue lends itself heavily to the role playing (as opposed to roll playing), so I think you'll fit in well. If you want instant popularity, browse around and comment on other peoples' campaigns, and invite a few to be your frie…

in FIXED - Commenting on adventure post hangs May 2008

Do you get the same behavior as cknudson? A spinning wheel and the button never re-activates? I switched commenting to be more responsive and use javascript, but apparently that has caused some problems... I'll try to get some time this weeke…

in FIXED - Commenting on adventure post hangs May 2008

Yeah, we're not exactly great about cross browser testing, and Firefox is our clear favorite. Still, I'll try to dig out a copy of IE7 somewhere and see if I can do some more testing. It's high time. Thanks for the bug report though, I needed…

in FIXED - Commenting on adventure post hangs May 2008

Thanks for the report. We'll look into this. Did commenting _ever_ work for you, or did it always fail?

in FIXED - 404 on first login May 2008

It's an issue with your username. It is not supposed to allow periods in usernames, but somehow yours got past the filter. I can go in the database and change your username to something else if you'd like. I'll contact you by e-mail and we can …

in Martin Ralya of Treasure Tables returns to the blogosphere May 2008

In case you haven't heard, Martin Ralya, the author of "Treasure Tables":http://treasuretables.org, probably the #1 tabletop RPG blog, has returned to blogging after a long hiatus. He's coming back with several co-authors under the new moniker, "…

in font sizes May 2008

CSS is the defacto standard for styling up web pages. Without getting into the nitty-gritty, it allows for taking the raw HTML and making it look nicer. You should be able to change the font in a similar manner to the font size, perhaps with som…

in font sizes May 2008

I don't think you can control font sizes (easily) using Textile other than using the h tags. Let's try some experiments. I don't know Textile very well myself, so I just play around with it until I figure stuff out. It won't work in the forum…

in wiki editor: save button, preview May 2008

I feel your pain. The lack of preview is definitely an issue, and even more so in the case of comments. In our case, a preview would probably entail pretty much the same server load, as all our parsing / rendering is done server-side, so a previ…

in IC vs OOC in Adventure Logs May 2008

The ultimate goal is to allow some amount of theming / skinning. By using CSS, theming is much easier. Our current plan is to offer the default theme, then have additional themes available to premium members. To entice people to come up with th…

in Everyone thank Ryan for the speedy site May 2008

If you've noticed that the main site (not the forums) has been running much faster the past few weeks, it's because Ryan put in a lot of work on optimizing and fixing the slow search feature. So, if you're happy to have your pages loading lightni…

in The 2,000th Forum Post May 2008

Wow, I wasn't even keeping track. Hmm, looks like I alone account for 20% of the posts. At least no one can accuse me of being a lurker!
Micah2
in IC vs OOC in Adventure Logs May 2008

P.S. I'm even thinking about adding a special CSS class for OOC text. The idea would be to allow you to mark up your OOC text like so: p(ooc). This is some OOC text. blah blah blah And now back to our story... Along with special styling …
Micah2
in IC vs OOC in Adventure Logs May 2008

There seems to be an even split between people using only IC vs both IC and OOC text in their Adventure Log posts. For me, I've found that some of the best, most entertaining material is only tangentially related to the game. Instead, it's somet…

in Quick Description in Campaign NPC view May 2008

To the right is a good idea, too. I've been shamelessly copying "del.icio.us":http://del.icio.us so far, but the titles there are typically longer than the character names we're dealing with. So, maybe using the whitespace on the right would work.…

in Organizing Characters May 2008

We're planning on reorganizing the user profile pages pretty extensively (at some future point...). We want it to organize things a little better and also make it more of a profile that highlights the user's image, bio, and such, rather than the ch…

in Edit Comments / Message Drafts May 2008

Yeah, comment editing is on the list. I too get irritated when I can't edit or remove comments. We'd like to offer the feature where you have like 5 minutes to edit or delete your comment, and then it's fixed for good. Still, it's a little low …
