in Character blogs August 2007

It makes perfect sense, and I've heard others ask for something similar. I like the idea, but I probably won't have a chance to get to it anytime soon. It would be a little tricky to implement, plus I'd have to find a way to stick it into the in…

in FIXED - GM Only NPC in Public List August 2007

I'll keep looking. This has been a tough one for me to reproduce. I'm working on it, though.

in Hello August 2007

I'm glad somebody gets it! The NPC tracker is based on the idea of "minimal effort now, grow as necessary" I keep my laptop open next to me while we're playing. If the PCs meet some random person, it's very easy for me to add them to the NPC trac…

They definitely put anything I could do to shame. It adds some _character_ to your NPC list. hahaha (ok, lame, I know...) I also like the fact that you're using the tags to organize a bit. Does that work well for you?

in FIXED - Sign up Problem August 2007

Saturday and Sunday mornings are when I do most of the coding, so you caught me at just the right time.

in FIXED - Sign up Problem August 2007

The player sent me a bug report and I've fixed the problem. It had to do with the new code we added that requires the terms of service for new signups. Thanks for reporting this so quickly.

in User list? August 2007

No, not yet. Can you make a post on the feature request forum explaining what you'd like in such a feature? For example, what would you search by, what is the goal in finding other people, etc. We'll see if we can get other people to comment on w…

in aka Bagpuss here. August 2007

One of my players has gone above and beyond the call to fill in several years of old history for our campaign. I keep promising to update it with my notes, but I keep forgetting. Worst of all, I started this site because I kept losing my notes... …

in Locations as an editable entry August 2007

"hahahahaha," he laughs maniacally! "This is coming soon, my precious adventurers...soon you will see..."

in Can wiki stubs and pages be made to work in character/item descriptions? August 2007

It's an oversight, but also a design flaw. When I designed the wiki-linking, I was careful to associate the wiki and blog. In fact, the blog entries are just special wiki pages. I never really thought about the inter-character relationships that …

in Promote your campaign! Tell us how we can help. August 2007

jwt, That's a pretty neat idea! I can try to get in touch with people, but there is a very, very large chance they will flat-out say no. Intellectual property and copyright are big issues, and most companies jealously guard their creations. In…

in Sharing NPC across users August 2007

This is the way the site worked originally (ie. before about a week ago). However, I determined that it's probably not a good idea. The original author can edit (or delete) the character at any time. So, if you're using an NPC, and the author dec…

in Is Gleemax available yet? August 2007

I sort of thought that Gleemax and DDI were two names for the same thing. Am I wrong?
Micah2
in ADDED - Adventure Log - Titles only please? August 2007

Yes, this is a good idea. A lot of blog software handles this by truncating to a short amount of text (like a single paragraph) for each posting, with the title being a link to the entire post. In addition, we could limit the number of posts displ…

in New Terms of Service added - ask questions here August 2007

We have added a "Terms of Service statement":http://www.obsidianportal.com/terms-of-service to the website, and in the coming days we will be reworking signup and login to force all registered (or registering) users to agree to the TOS. We have to …

in Hello August 2007

Hi Jennifer, and welcome to Obsidian Portal! The line breaks are tricky with Textile. Basically, a single line break does nothing, and a double line-break creates a new paragraph. I may go in at some point and enable a few html tags (like br ta…

Thanks for the report. I'll look into it.

in Is Gleemax available yet? August 2007

So I've been trying to follow the whole Gleemax thing, since they will probably be a competitor to Obsidian Portal. Last I heard, they were supposed to debut their super pre-alpha version at GenCon and open it up to everyone. I've seen a few scr…

in Greetings from Florida August 2007

Welcome! It's always great to have a new campaign that has pages and pages of stuff posted before it's even 24 hours old. Those are the ones that get me really excited. I also have to post a link to my new favorite NPC: "Paris Helton":http://ww…

in Add maps that allow players/GM to add markers August 2007

Oooh! I'm excited! This feature is almost ready and I can't wait to show it off. Keep checking back over the next few days and hopefully it will be up and running.

It's been quiet here lately. No one else wants to give us an introduction?

in Promote your campaign! Tell us how we can help. August 2007

I've been trying to keep up with Gleemax/D&D-Insider stuff, but I've fallen behind. Obviously I'm very interested to see what they're planning to offer. My hope is that Obsidian can grow a large user community prior to the release of the new s…

in Do you use maps in your campaign? August 2007

I just added the code to do the mapping, and it is _*AWESOME*_! We still need to do some more testing before we push it to the live server, but I am extremely excited. I think anyone who uses maps for their campaign will love this feature. Keep…

in Do you use maps in your campaign? August 2007

With cost of bandwidth and storage, the mapping feature would probably be the first for-pay, premium account feature. Free accounts will probably get 1 or 2 small maps (like, 400 pixels per side), and paying accounts would probably get many more an…
Micah2
in Do you use maps in your campaign? August 2007

I'm working on a great new feature for Obsidian Portal that should allow you to upload your maps and integrate them into your wiki. You'll be able to place markers that can link to pages in your wiki. Anyways, it's still in the conceptual phase …

in How do I make more pages for my "party Wiki" August 2007

Hi and welcome! First off, the controls for editing and adding are only available if you're logged in. So, be sure that you're logged in. *Adventure Log* To add more posts to the adventure log, click on the "Create new post" link at the to…

in Do you trust your campaign members? August 2007

Group editable PC/NPCs are now live on the site. Let me know if there are any problems.

in ADDED - GM PC Editing August 2007

Just updated the site tonight to add group editable PCs/NPCs. This should make it much easier for groups to keep track of everything they know. Private notes and edit histories are in the feature queue...
