in ADDED - GM PC Editing July 2007

h2. Character permissions So, 1 player and GM have permissions for 1 player's PC. Everyone has permissions for NPCs. Does that sound reasonable? It sounds good to me and I could do it without too much trouble. h2. Private bio I'm startin…

in Naming Issues in Adventure Logs July 2007

I actually fixed this a while back for exactly this reason. I noticed that a lot of adventure logs had this sort of jarring text in them. No one talks like that. I added the explanation to the wiki quick-help sidebar, but I don't think people rea…

in Do you trust your campaign members? July 2007

The DM notes area for an NPC is something I could use as well. When I get the chance, I'll work on this. It shouldn't be too hard, and could possibly be a really great feature.

in Do you trust your campaign members? July 2007

This is an open question to the community: Do you trust your campaign members to be able to edit everything? From the beginning, I put very few restrictions on campaign resources. Anyone in the campaign can edit the blog and wiki. For the futur…

in ADDED - GM PC Editing July 2007

h2. Wiki history This is something we would like to provide. As things settle and we have time, we'll probably add it without much fanfare. For now, like you said, it's a low priority. h2. GM edits PCs This is also an issue with NPCs. Or…

in Suggestion & Questions on Character form July 2007

This is all really great stuff. We really appreciate this sort of feedback. It's the only way we can figure out what to make better. Some answers: h2. drop-down race box I wanted to avoid a splintering of identical races: human/Human/man …

in FIXED - Next Page link doesn't sort by campaign system July 2007

Yep, I can see it too. I'll work on it this weekend. Thanks for the report.

in FIXED - Party invitation reveals email address July 2007

Just pushed out a fix. Thanks again and please alert us any time you see a possible privacy violation like this. We do our best, but we need help from our users.

in FIXED - Party invitation reveals email address July 2007

Wow! That's an excellent catch. I hadn't even thought about that one. I will make a bugfix straight away.

in I need help! I can't figure this site out! July 2007

Greetings newbies! If you're here, then you're obviously lost, and probably a little frustrated. I apologize. We're trying hard to make the site more usable as time goes on. It's tough, so please be patient. Here are some quick steps you ca…

in Help me make a genre list! July 2007

Thanks for all the replies, people. I'll try to come up with a reasonably sized list that's not too confusing. This will be used to allow people to sort the list of campaigns on the main campaign list page. I think we might allow for tagging in…

in Help me make a genre list! July 2007

Maybe I'll replace Silly w/ Humor as it sounds better, IMHO. The others sound good too. Since the list will be used for filtering, more is probably better.
Micah2
in Character Sheet July 2007

Yeah, you're right. I disabled HTML in most places, but it's still active in the forums. So, you should be able to put things inside of code blocks: *no Textile formatting here*
Micah2
in Character Sheet July 2007

Hmm, that's a really good idea with the canned formats. The only problem is that the forum also uses Textile, meaning it will be tough to get it to where someone could cut and paste. I don't think there's a way to say that a section should be left…

in Help me make a genre list! July 2007

I am going to add genre to each campaign soon (to help with sorting and searching), but that means I need a list of genres. I'll list the ones that I've got so far, but please help me out if I've missed any. * Fantasy * Sci-Fi * Cyberpunk …

in Problems with invites? Look here! July 2007

If you're having problems with campaign invites, let me explain the system a bit: When you send out an invitation to your campaign, the only way we track it is by the e-mail address. As long as your player signs up using the e-mail you provided,…

in adding Players July 2007

I'll look into this. We've had a few reports of this happening. Can you post the player's login name and your campaign? I'll try to track down what's going on.
Micah2
in Wiki Table of Contents July 2007

Yeah, there is a learning curve with a lot of this stuff. There sure are a ton of wiki syntaxes out there. I can barely keep track of them. It's nice to hear that you think the site is user friendly. That's what we're going for.
Micah2
in Wiki Table of Contents July 2007

There _may_ be a way to link inside of a page using Textile, but it's probably not worth the effort. Your best bet is to break things up into multiple pages, if possible. To be totally honest, advanced wiki features are at the low end of the pri…

in ADDED - Persistent Login July 2007

I think we can do this...let me look at it.

in FIXED - Error while sending campaign invitation July 2007

We've updated the invite e-mail system. It should have vastly fewer errors now.

in FIXED - Can't access my account page (user logins with periods) July 2007

This has been fixed. Let me know if you have any more problems with it.
Micah2
in Reverse Post Order Option July 2007

Good idea. I'll put it on the list.
Micah2
in Let your players make their PCs!! July 2007

We have an underlying permissions scheme for the website, hence the blogs and wikis editable by all members of the campaign. I'm trying to figure out how to adapt it to the characters, since it's obviously needed, both for PCs and NPCs. The rpgw…

in Hi from North Dakota July 2007

Hi Andy, "TreasureTables":http://www.treasuretables.org is really a great site, and I feel honored to be listed there. Martin publishes really great advice about being a GM, and even thought I've only been following it for about a month, I think…

in Greetings from Moncton,NB Canada July 2007

Welcome Christian! I really like your site. I have seen several campaign websites, and the quality of yours is quite good. I have tried running sites like that in the past, and it always became too much of a burden. I used hand-coded HTML, a…
Micah2
in Character Sheet July 2007

We've wrestled with this idea from the start. We want to provide this sort of information as well. However, we're trying not to assume too much about the game system in use. Obsidian Portal focuses more on the storytelling and campaign building a…

in FIXED - Can't access my account page (user logins with periods) July 2007

We've been having problems with users that have a period in their user ids. I'll put it on the list of bugs and see what I can figure out.

in Greetings from Texas July 2007

Welcome skade! I have great expectations of the community as well. We're doing our best to build a quality site to hold all of the great content that the users are writing. Thanks for signing up and I look forward to watching your campaign.

in ADDED - Character Art July 2007

We're working on adding images, but file storage is a whole different animal. We want to get it right the first time, or as right as is possible ;) Until then, "Textile":http://hobix.com/textile/ formatting allows for embedding images. I haven'…
