in Obsidian Portal API discussion November 2010

A quick update after some discussion: 1) We're probably going to be changing some of the URLs to be a little more Rails-y resource routes. 2) We're going to switch from internal database ids to UUIDs for all the objects. This will mega-guarant…

shammond42, If you're not already using it, I highly recommend checking out the "ruby oauth gem":https://rubygems.org/gems/oauth, and possibly the "Rails oauth-plugin gem":https://rubygems.org/gems/oauth-plugin That's what we used to set up our O…

I've just deployed the pre-pre-pre-alpha version of the API. There is support for getting some basic user, campaign, and character info. You can read more here: "http://help.obsidianportal.com/faqs/api/api-overview":http://help.obsidianportal.com/fa…

Description (crunch) doesn't save on ay dynamic sheet. Bio (fluff) should save normally. It worked for me the last time I checked. We should make this clearer, I suppose. Note! You have to edit the Bio down below in the regular fields, not on the…

I've started putting together "a help/tutorial section for the API":http://help.obsidianportal.com/faqs/api There's not much there right now, but the "Users API page":http://help.obsidianportal.com/faqs/api/api-users has some meat to it. I would …

Rob, The use cases you discuss are the ones we envision as well. I expect most people care about their campaigns and theirs alone. They want quicker access, like you say, or a better mobile experience. That's why we're going to focus on campaigns…

Just deployed a fix. Try it now and see if it's working.

It could be my fault. We made a bunch of backend changes to characters and there's a chance I broke something. I'll look into it and see what I can figure out.

I've looked at the APP and it honestly seems like a great spec that went nowhere. I love Atom as an extensible feed protocol, but the publishing side seems to have very little support. For example, I couldn't find a single desktop blog publishing to…

The first app that we know is coming is a simple initiative-tracking tool made by Vanir from Critical Hits. He asked me if there were a way that he could pull in all the PCs from a campaign. That means authentication, campaigns, and characters are c…

in Obsidian Portal Podcast... August 2010

I don't want to meddle too much, but I do want this to succeed, so I'll drop some thoughts: 1) Unless done without any editing (which I *highly* discourage), assume editing will take 2-3x as long as recording. So, a 1-hour show will take 3 hours …

Now back to Dragon Age! I'm catching up on PC games I've missed over the past few years while OP has eaten all my spare time.

in Obsidian Portal Podcast... August 2010

We'd be happy to sponsor a podcast, with name, exposure, and hosting. The main thing we (Dan, Ryan, and I) want to avoid is spreading ourselves too thin. So, all we can give is our blessing and some money to pay for hosting costs. A simple blog/podc…

Sounds like Claddagh is a hit, so let's plan for that. I've got Saturday the 7th at noon at Claddagh on my calendar for this. See you all there.

Nah, no need to reimburse. It's a marketing expense. Dunno what happened to the other one. I've always been very pleased with USPS. Maybe I didn't put on enough postage.

I'll send another your way. Should get there with plenty of time to spare.

in Emissary, cool stuff... July 2010

I think we have what we need for the translations, we just need some time to get everything into the system. It's both a tedious and technical process, the worst of all worlds, so it will take a while.

in When are we getting an alternative to textile? July 2010

Point taken about the br tags. I know where you're coming from about repetitive stuff getting old fast. The only advice I can give is to use a double-space (hit enter twice), as Textile will interpret that as a new p tag. We used a WYSIWYG editor…

Ok, I've updated everyone's account status at least twice now. Here's hoping the stupid thing actually remembers the settings!

I'm trying to update peoples' roles on the forum software, but I don't know exactly how this thing works. Plus it looks like it automatically adds that ugly red banner on every single post. That's no good...

in When are we getting an alternative to textile? July 2010

We walk a line between easy and powerful. HTML/CSS gives power and Textile gives ease (sort of). We do allow for pretty much raw HTML and CSS, so if you want complete control over your layout, that's the way to go. We have "a list of allowed HTML…

Just dropping by...I wasn't getting the email updates so I didn't realize there was conversation going on here... Fuhsaz - Looks like you got most of your questions answered. As to quick description, description, tags, etc - No, there are no tags…

I don't know anything about Risus, but that's pretty much exactly what I imagined when I first started working on the DST system. Simple, but nicely laid out, and (I assume) makes sense for a user of the system. After reading your thoughts on the…
Micah2
in Dynamic Character Sheets for Popular Systems June 2010

Fuhsaz - Sure, Risus sounds good. We don't really have a basic template, other than the devkit. There really is no sense of a basic template, since character sheets from different systems will always be very different. But, we're here if you need he…
