in Make Visible? September 2007

It's probably a mixture of a bug and a poorly worded explanation. I'll take a look later and see what I can find out. As it's supposed to work: public - Anyone can view the internals visible - Shows up in searches for others (it always shows u…

Fixed it. Thanks for the report!

in Anybody using the maps? September 2007

Yes, you can delete and add a new one. I look forward to seeing your maps each week :)

in Anybody using the maps? September 2007

Jennifer, The best (and only) file type to use is JPEG. Also, be warned that we're currently limiting campaigns to a single map. This is the most costly (in storage and bandwidth) of the features we offer, so we're being cautious about it. W…

in FIXED - Party Wiki Tab September 2007

Yeah, I've seen this too. I'll put it on the bug list. Thanks for the report.

in think my guy made an error in setting up character September 2007

He needs to edit the character and make him a PC (or NPC) in the campaign and then save. At that point, you (as the GM) should be able to edit the character.

in What Voting Criteria do you use? September 2007

My criteria are similar. I tend to emphasize creative use of Textile, good character bios, as well as exciting adventure logs. I guess I put the adventure logs above all else. Speaking of which, yours are quite good. I only wish they were host…

in PC portrait thumbnails in wiki September 2007

The URL is http://www.obsidianportal.com/uploads/images/:id/:filename So, for my pictures above, the ID is 19. The ID is the same across all sizes, but the filename differs for the different sizes. You should be able to get the ID and filena…

in Hi from Seattle September 2007

My first game was AD&D, and boy did I think I was a genius when I finally understood THAC0. Still, I'm a total newb when it comes to non-D&D rules systems. Welcome to the neighborhood, and I look forward to watching your game!

in Hi from Iowa City September 2007

Hi Mandi! I'm also from the University of Iowa. I actually founded the HRPA (Hawkeye Roleplayers Association), although for me it was just an excuse to get a university sponsored mailing list to help people find games. The following presidents …

in Game-specific Monsters September 2007

These are all good ideas...I'm listening... Bluea, The findability issue is a big one. Tagging in some sense makes it easier, assuming it's expressed well. I haven't put a lot of work into making the wikis navigable, but as they grow it will…

in PC portrait thumbnails in wiki September 2007

Are you talking about in the sidebar of the adventure log where the party is listed? Or in the actual wiki pages? The sidebar is something we had thought about, but never really pursued. It's on the list of "maybe some day" For the wiki page…

in Relationship Maps September 2007

Ouch! I knew someone was going to ask for this sooner or later. It's definitely a neat feature (and will go on the wish list), but is a long way down the road. We just don't have the time to dive into a visualization project right now.

in Pingomatic Adventure Log Syndication September 2007

We've started submitting the adventure logs to "pingomatic":http://www.pingomatic.com This means that lots of blog syndication services will come and link to your blog, providing extra exposure and hopefully drawing readers for you. We will only…

in FIXED - GM Only NPC in Public List September 2007

I uploaded a fix for this tonight. Thanks a bunch for the bug reports, as it was a fairly subtle bug, but the reports really helped me figure out what was going on. Let me know if there are any more problems.

in Avatars for the forums September 2007

I've switched us from using "Gravatar":http://site.gravatar.com/ to instead use the uploaded photos from your profile. Let me know if I broke anything!

in The Server Crash Was My Fault -- And Map Related September 2007

Server crashes can happen for a variety of reasons. The map uploading is very taxing, so it's a good guess. Still, like you said, the server came back after a little bit. We're stress-testing the map uploading as we go along. In other words, y…

in Anybody using the maps? September 2007

Randolpho, Don't worry, the server is fine. There are some things I need to do to tweak the map upload cycle to make it a little more robust. I just haven't had the time lately. I'm also adding a little more information about what the max file…

in Dragon*Con September 2007

I live in Atlanta, so I was there laying out the fliers. I was one of a few people walking around with brain slugs (from Futurama) on our heads. I didn't really go to any of the events, since the line to get a pass wound all the way around the b…

in Map issues September 2007

Thanks for the report. I think it has something to do with our storage server, S3. I've been trying to track this problem down, but it never happens for me (in firefox). The delete one is new, though. I'll look into that today.

in Locations as an editable entry September 2007

The main idea right now is to provide markers on the maps that will allow you to link to the wiki. Although, it strikes me that if you don't have a map, this doesn't help...

in Sharing NPC across users September 2007

DocWyatt, I like your ideas, even if they are a little complicated. I especially like the "keep track of how many times it's being shared" sort of idea. One thing I think OP needs is more stats on viewers, visitors, and the like. It's nice to …

in Anybody using the maps? September 2007

It doesn't seem like there's been much uptake on the maps. I was so excited to debut it, but people seem hesitant. I've noticed in the server logs that several maps have been uploaded, but then they are deleted. Are you running into bugs? Is t…

in Is Gleemax available yet? September 2007

If the new material is good, then the books are worth it. If not, stick with 3.5 and (or 3.0, or AD&D, or whatever) and continue playing. That's the great thing about tabletop games (and separates us from the computer world): there are no _req…

in Session Calendar September 2007

This is a great feature. I've been thinking about something like this for a while, but I want to do it right. There are already so many calendar programs and scheduling apps already available. They set the bar pretty high for any sort of similar …

in Game-specific Monsters September 2007

I'd really like to offer all this stuff. In fact, that was the original idea for OP (an online database for characters, spells, monsters, feats, etc.). However, people have really latched onto the campaign blogging stuff, and it's personally my fa…

in Sharing NPC across users September 2007

Randolpho, That's pretty much dead-on to what I was thinking of doing. It's quick, easy, and provides a lot of flexibility. The only thing I didn't consider was to disallow the quick-copy, but that's a good idea. I agree that most people wou…

in Handout's September 2007

Don't get discouraged, it's actually not that difficult of a request. We store the original (or at least a 1024x1024 resized version of it) It shouldn't be too hard to link that for a download as a JPEG. The real bandwidth hog is people zooming…

in G'day for Australia... August 2007

Welcome to OP! It's always nice to hear that people like the site. I always look forward to new campaigns!

in FIXED - GM Only NPC in Public List August 2007

I'll try to work on this one this weekend, but I'll be at DragonCon on Saturday :) Hopefully I'll be handing out fliers for OP!
