in Paper or Digital? January 2008

I GM my game in a public place (ie. not my house), and so cannot have access to all my books close at hand. For that reason, I prefer having things accessible digitally. I'm a huge, huge fan of the "Hypertext d20 SRD":http://www.d20srd.org/, and f…

in Wiki Page is too narrow. January 2008

We've played around with some dynamic layouts, but we've been busy with all sorts of stuff. Still, I have to stick up for all the great people here. Criticism is welcome, but the fact that there are so many great campaigns already here is proof …

Shouldn't be too hard. I'll add it to the list.

in Headings and anchors January 2008

Good thoughts. For now, it should be possible to use Textile. h1. Header 1 h2. Header 2 h3. Header 3 looks something like h1. Header 1 h2. Header 2 h3. Header 3 Just make sure to leave a blank space between the header li…

in There was an error in editting your page January 2008

bq. Note to self: Never go to Micah for a cure for hiccups. Ha, that's the truth. I've noticed the slowness as well. I'm not sure what's going on, but we're looking into it.

Savage Worlds is in, I'll add Grimm and FUDGE as well. Sorry for the slowness.

in There was an error in editting your page January 2008

Working now? We've had some hiccups recently, but we've stamped them out as fast as they occur.

in Contributors wanted January 2008

The first person to advertise something else on our forums! It's a sign of reaching the big-time when people start using you to promote their stuff. Just search for all the borderline spammy posts I've left on other forums... Please do post the…

in If a campaign is not published are the NPCs published? January 2008

NPCs are totally separate from the campaign in many ways, and there is no way to default them to the same status as the campaign. Sorry :( For now, just make them private and you'll be good to go. Once you're ready, make them public.

in Can wiki stubs and pages be made to work in character/item descriptions? January 2008

bq. Also since I cannot see the code I could be completely misrepresenting the possibly of this capability. It's nice to hear this rather than "It should be super-easy!" The main issue is that the wiki/blogs are per-campaign, while the charact…

in Linking DM and Player Wiki pages January 2008

You've caught me a little ahead of schedule here. I have been agonizing over the DM and Player wikis for a while now, as I would like to combine them. Currently, the player wiki is combined with the adventure log, but the DM wiki is separate. Loo…

in Create a page from a wiki entry January 2008

Hmm, that's a really good idea. I'll have to think about it. We're trying to focus more on usability issues (of which there are many...), and feedback like this really helps out.
Micah2
in ADDED - add 'older' & 'newer' buttons to AL view from PL January 2008

So, if I'm getting this straight: each adventure log post would have links at the bottom, one to the previous post and one to the next? I assume this is to allow reading it in order without returning to the adventure log and going to the next one. …

in Copyright Issues? December 2007

Adding a "choose license" box somewhere is on the todo list, but we just haven't gotten to it. I'll take a look at what wikispaces does. I've got nothing against copying someone else's way of doing things...

in Data Backups (Questions and a Request) December 2007

I'll bump up the downloadable backups in the priority list. It seems that a lot of you would like this feature, and for good reason. Just a reminder: we do nightly database backups, so if anything went catastrophically wrong, at most you would l…

in Multiple GMs December 2007

Rather than beating around the bush, I'll just be blunt. I don't see this one coming any time soon. Call me old-fashioned, but we're really only planning to support 1-GM games. Adding new roles to the system is actually one of the hardest things …
Micah2
in A MOTD Entry December 2007

I've seen you guys doing that, and I've been trying to figure out a way to help with it. The post-dated adventure log entry is obviously sub-optimal. It seems that some use it for a MOTD, but others use it as a quick summary or overview. Howeve…

in Is it just me... December 2007

When my campaign (Kensing) is back on top, you know something's wrong... We hear you and we're working on it!
Micah2
in Using the wiki to help schedule game nights December 2007

If you're like me, then sometimes it can be hard to find a suitable time to play. Families, kids, school, work, and all sorts of everyday fluff get in the way of good, hardcore gaming. For my group, several of the players are college students, a…

in Hello & Introduction December 2007

bq. If you stand up, you're LARPing I can't remember who said that, but I guess that means I became a LARPer a while back. Now, when I GM, I get really animated and mime the fireball throwing and axe swings and everything. I don't even realize …

in ADDED - Updates for DMs December 2007

Hmm, good idea. I'll add it to the todo list, but it will be near the bottom (and it's a fairly long list...) Keep the ideas coming!

in Less D&D Specific & Other Suggestions December 2007

I'm real busy right now, and I haven't had a chance to read this thread. I'll take a look at it as soon as I get a chance. I just wanted people to know that I'm still here, lurking.
Micah2
in Requests for new game systems December 2007

bq. I don’t mean to sound nitpicky, but Ravenloft is a campaign setting, and not its own system. Yeah, I get confused on these points too. Should I relax the definition of system to include settings? I can't think of a good reason not to, but I…

in ADDED - Line breaks (again) and navigation. December 2007

We've added the ability to format your posts with a "select few HTML tags":http://www.obsidianportal.com/tutorials/allowed-html-tags. Let me know if there's something missing from that list that should be there. In order to see the changes, just…

in ADDED - Filter Games with no Content December 2007

The campaign list now defaults to showing only non-empty campaigns. These are defined as campaigns that have at least 1 adventure log post. So, to get on the list is very easy, just make a post that says "more to come, stay tuned" or something sim…

in ADDED - "Back to NPC Tracker" Button December 2007

It's live now. Let me know if there are any problems.

in Gleemax Thoughts December 2007

I've been following Gleemax a lot since they opened. I'm still scratching my head as to what they're doing. They have promised patches and upgrades and been late at least 3 times. So, even though they claim to be doing agile development (which sa…

in ADDED - Filter Games with no Content December 2007

Working on this now. Hopefully I can get it in soon.

in ADDED - "Back to NPC Tracker" Button December 2007

Look for this soon...
Micah2
in ADDED - Line breaks (again) and navigation. December 2007

Ruby on Rails with a smattering of whatever else is needed to keep things running :) I just committed an update that will allow a handful of HTML tags (br, pre, blockquote, and some others) in all the Textile fields (blog posts, character info, e…
