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

Note: Some technical jargon follows, but it's necessary to explain some of the choices we've made. In the interest of being blunt, here goes: we chose Textile because there was a pre-made parser that we could use to translate plain text into HTM…

in Premium accounts are on the way December 2007

We have put this on hold for a little, as we work on our other site (payment processing using Amazon...boring stuff). Once we get our payment site working, our first order of business is to tie it in with this site. Although, we've been thinking l…

in Less D&D Specific & Other Suggestions December 2007

User uploaded images are on the todo list. It might be a while, though, and will probably be a little of a disappointment once it's done. This is because there are lots of other services out there (as geekevolved noted) that already do this, and d…

in Silly question about the Amazon ads December 2007

Yes, we have an affiliate account with Amazon. As to the other question, I have absolutely no idea :) I think we only get a referral fee if you buy the items shown, but I didn't look to closely at how it worked. Maybe just keep hitting the re…

in Hello and thank you December 2007

Thank you for signing up and posting stuff! Also, you should feel lucky that your players are excited. From what I hear from others around here, most players ignore the website altogether and show up completely unprepared, just like usual ;)

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

I may just change the "NPC in XXX" link to go directly to the NPC tracker. I've had this same problem myself. I'm adding it to my todo list right now...

in Categories December 2007

I'll be the first to admit that the wiki is not up to MediaWiki (or most others) standards. I did a barebones implementation of the absolute necessities and then went on to other things from there. One possibility that I've been toying with is f…

in Stat Block Templates December 2007

I've toyed back and forth with this idea for a while. The original idea for the site was a character/item/spell repository with easy searching. However, the campaign blogging/tracking seemed to be everyone's favorite use, so I ran with it. Beside…

in Requests for new game systems December 2007

It's currently possible to not select a game system. Is that not the same as other?

in ADDED - Character Print View December 2007

Just go to file->print or print preview (on Firefox, not sure on IE or others). There's no special page you go to in order to print. I've just changed a few settings that tell the browser not to include some things (like the logo graphics and s…

in ADDED - NPC Hidden Info December 2007

Added this tonight. Look for the Secret GM Info field on the character edit screen at the bottom. Only the GM can edit or see this info.

in ADDED - Character Print View December 2007

Added this one just now.

in Question on Adventure Logs December 2007

I'm really not sure what you mean. Are you talking about having the main display just be a list of links, and then someone clicks on it and is taken to the actual post? Currently we have no such feature, although some have asked for a way to only …

in Campaign viewable by friends only? December 2007

Currently no, and it's not planned anytime soon. Even when we do get around to it, it will probably be a global flag of entire campaign public vs private. Note: Sorry to be so blunt, but I prefer to be straight with people about these things.

in A greater GM than I cometh... December 2007

I should probably put together a "best practices" document on how to get started using the site. Point #1 would be "don't try to do it all the first day" A lot of people have the same issue where they have a huge backlog and are overwhelmed by t…

in How did you get here? December 2007

Mandi: I actually founded the HRPA, I think it was when I was a junior. That must have been around 2001 or so. The main thing I wanted was the ability to create an email mailing list, and you had to be an official student group to get one from …

in Sorting Ability for Wiki Page December 2007

Sorting and tagging we could do fairly easily (if we ever get the time). Sort by picture is a little less likely. It's a good idea, but not as easy as the others. Dang. You have a lot of good ideas, and I just wish we had more time to make the…

in Campaign-Specific Items December 2007

One feature we want to add is a treasure-tracker, similar to the NPC tracker. The main reason we haven't gotten to it (besides lack of time) is that many games aren't as much of a kill-loot-repeat cycle as classic D&D (which I love, btw). So, …

in Linking to Adventure Log December 2007

I'm curious now to see what's happening. Can you direct me to the specific page that will not link? With your permission I will use my admin powers to edit your wiki and see if I can't figure out what's going on.

in ADDED - Campaign Subscription/Favorite Campaigns December 2007

Now they're ordered by last update time. Much more useful IMHO

in Internal Server Error December 2007

Ok, I think it's fixed now. I'll check again in the morning. Sorry again for any problems.

in Internal Server Error December 2007

Grrrr! Looks like we haven't stomped this bug yet. I'll see what I can find out...
Micah2
in Internal Server Error December 2007

Terribly sorry about that. I know you're new here, so ask anyone else and they'll tell you that the site is usually rock solid. For some reason one of our services crashed and it brought down everything that depended on it. We're not exactly sure…

in Linking to Adventure Log December 2007

There is a "wiki page name" field for every adventure log post, which defaults to the post's title. This should be the name to use in the link. Note that it doesn't have to be "URL friendly" if that makes any sense. So, if the name of the page …

in Requests for new game systems December 2007

Yep, just added Buffy. Sorry it took so long, it just kept slipping my mind.

in Locations Lists November 2007

Excellent idea. I originally intended to tie this in with the maps, but they haven't taken off like I'd hoped. Then again, it's kind of buggy (sorry...) Still, even a list of locations, similar to the NPC tracker would probably be useful. Let …
