in checking out other campaigns October 2007

Yes, there have been several campaigns in the past week or 2 that are looking very promising.

done!

in Separate Warhammer Editions October 2007

I'll see what i can do. I will probably set the current one to be 1st ed, then add another one as 2nd ed.

in User Profile October 2007

This has been on the list since the beginning :) We just never seem to get to it with everything else we're working on. Maybe I can bump up the priority a little.

in ADDED - Character Print View October 2007

I think we can do this w/o too much trouble. Let me put it on the list.

in Maps - Non-Google Maps? October 2007

It's a good idea. I'll think about it. We hope to have a general-purpose document repository for this sort of stuff. Storage for images, PDFs, whatever. Otherwise, we're almost ready to roll out our premium accounts which will have pretty mu…

in Gleemax Thoughts October 2007

What do you guys think of Gleemax? What do they have that Obsidian Portal lacks? What about the reverse? For me, I'm a little perplexed. I really didn't see any sort of social networking / friend feature. You can tag people as "favorites" but…

in Session Calendar October 2007

This is a bump to push this back to the top. i plan to start working on this very soon, and I'd like to gather any input from the community. For now, the main idea is to create a calendar that will allow for scheduling of game times. *Must ha…

in Top Campaigns/Newest Campaigns October 2007

noted, and good idea. Maybe I'll play around with a little javascript. Click the "see more" link and the box expands to show 10 or 20 or something. Thanks for the idea and keep them coming :)

in Here's what I can't do... October 2007

Hi Dave! I'm glad you decided to take me up on the invite :) A lot of stuff is not implemented yet, and we're working on the navigation issues. It's a non-trivial issue to come up with a good navigation scheme. Perhaps the "NPC in XXX campaign…

in Premium accounts are on the way October 2007

We are working hard on adding premium accounts. For a couple dollars a month (much less than an MMO...he he), you'll have access to more features, plus get some well deserved recognition as a cutting edge DM. The first feature we'll be rolling o…

in Tip: Make a first post for your new campaigns! October 2007

I've noticed a lot of campaigns that only have a title and nothing else. I'm thinking about implementing a cleanup system that will sweep out campaigns with nothing in them after a certain time. They just clutter up the system. So, if you want …

in Anybody use Technorati? October 2007

Does anyone here have a blog? Do you use "Technorati":http://www.technorati.com at all? What's it good for? I've been trying to get them to add the adventure logs to their list of blogs, but it's been a bit of a pain. Their system seems to mak…

in Is Gleemax available yet? October 2007

Web 2.0 is not a dirty word, at least no to me :) I also like the social networking aspect. It fits so darn well with tabletop RPGs that it surprises me that it took this long. We had intended to go that route with Obsidian Portal, but now we'r…
Micah2
in Hello World! October 2007

Hello! Frozen North looks promising. I always envy other groups that seem to have the future planned out (ie. "We'll be starting this campaign in 2-3 months...") My group is lucky to plan a week or so ahead. I can't wait to see what you put…

in ADDED - New Game Systems October 2007

They're fed from the same list of systems, but the "Narrow by System" list only displays systems that have 1 or more campaigns. So, until we have some 1st edition D&D campaigns, that system won't show up on the list. Thanks for the note!
Micah2
in Is Gleemax available yet? October 2007

I'm not convinced yet. They've made a lot of promises and I'll wait until I see the actual product to make any final call. It could still end up being a steaming pile of garbage.
Micah2
in Is Gleemax available yet? October 2007

It looks like Gleemax is set to go live very soon. Expect me to be on there right away checking it out :) From the list of features, it looks like Obsidian Portal will still be a viable option for hosting your game. They won't crush us that easil…

in ADDED - New Game Systems October 2007

Runequest is already there, isn't it? (Sorry for slow response. It's been a busy week)

in Hi everybody!... This is Tony September 2007

Hi Antonio! Bienvenidos a Obsidian Portal! I think you're our first user from Mexico, or at least the first to introduce yourself :) I try to keep an eye on all the campaigns in order to get ideas. There are so many great games going on, and w…

in Player Finders September 2007

I got a great player from the DnD forums. You should also check this site out: http://www.penandpapergames.com/ Also, if it's a college town, try to find out if there's an on-campus gaming group. Many colleges have them, and they are usually …
Micah2
in Player Blogs September 2007

It's a good idea. It will be fairly tricky with the current infrastructure. I'll have to think about how to actually go about it. So, I'll put it on the list, but it might be a fair ways off. Keep the requests coming.
Micah2
in Same Campaign Name? September 2007

We discussed this at the beginning. Originally campaign names were unique. After a little discussion, we decided to allow duplicate names but differentiate based on the slugs (URLs). It has its plusses and minuses, but it also prevents one pers…
Micah2
in ADDED - Newly Updated/Added September 2007

Yes, this is a good idea. Let me see if I can think of a good way to make this happen.
Micah2
in Friend Status September 2007

Both great ideas. I think the friend list in the inbox would probably be fairly easy to implement. Keep the ideas coming! ( And send out some friend invites to non-members...we're always looking to grow the community. )

in Requests for new game systems September 2007

Please add any requests for new game systems here. It's very easy for me to add them, but I don't know everything that's out there, so I depend on others to clue me in. In your request, please include a link to a page either describing the game …

in ADDED - New Game Systems September 2007

Squeaky wheel gets the grease... Thanks for the request, the game list has been updated. You should be able to simply edit any existing campaigns to change the system.
Micah2
in ADDED - Adventure Log - Titles only please? September 2007

I added the pagination. It still shows the full article text, but will only show 10 at a time. Maybe not perfect, but it's better than before...
Micah2
in FIXED - Recently Updated Campaigns timestamp September 2007

Should be fixed now. It just took me a long time to get around to it.
Micah2
in Featured campaign updates? September 2007

Yeah, I've been meaning to update the featured campaign. It was supposed to be weekly, but real life and the other needs of the site have been eating up my time. I would definitely like to feature your campaign, but the fact that the majority of…
