in Custom Tab Section June 2011

The sidebar ought to work on just about any page (except for the maps page), but be careful working with a custom tab bar on other pages; some of those pages have edit options at the top, rather than the bottom of the page, and if you accidentally c…

Well, I must warn you, it is a little bit involved. But if you don't mind putting a some time into this project it can be very rewarding. Cheers, -Arsheesh

in Custom Tab Section June 2011

There is no Custom Tab Bar that allows you to do this (at least not yet). With a bit of Graphics work and some HTML though you can do this yourself, manually. I've got a little walk through on how I did it "here":http://www.obsidianportal.com/camp…

in Adventure (A Visual Layout) June 2011

I would think it would be easier to do this sort of work in something like Publisher, or perhaps a freeware program such as "Scribus":http://www.scribus.net/canvas/Scribus. You'd probably have a bit more control of working with the text boxes and t…

in Adventure (A Visual Layout) June 2011

That's quite a stunning adventure layout you've got there BrokenClock. As for myself, I typically just do up my adventures in Word, since I can easily modify them as the adventure plods along. If I was familiar with LaTeX I'd use that instead. An…

Hm, perhaps that's just a feature only moderators can see; sorry, my bad.

Hi there Daryl, first off, welcome to the Portal. Second off, what you are looking for is the "Cartographers Guild":http://forum.cartographersguild.com/index.php?referrerid=15127. The Guild is a friendly community whose purpose is to create and di…

in Being technologically advanced June 2011

You know, the Portal aside, I'm still sort of living in the dark ages when it comes to the use of technology at our gaming table. However, if you are looking to speed up combat through bypassing some of the tedious calculations involved, I've heard…

in "Well Connected" Badge June 2011

Hm, well, as much as I share your desire to see a more active community here Christopher, to be honest I don't think that a merit badge for obtaining friends is the best way to go about doing that. I worry that, as with some other forms of social m…

in Greetings June 2011

Glad to here you are enjoying the Portal so far. Don't let yourself get too bogged down in the details of what needs to get done. One of the biggest pitfalls of taking on a project such as building a campaign site (especially one for a homebrew se…

in Mass Combat, Avatar Last Airbender Campaign June 2011

Hey there Gnunn. Just read your blog post. You know I actually did the same thing in a mass battle I ran in my TDMV campaign. That is, I used what you aptly term the "Rule of 5s" as a base for determining both NPC HP and HP damage in combat. Eac…

Hey there Anthony, welcome to the Portal! I just stopped by and checked out your site. I like how well fleshed out your wiki section is. I also like how you've used a some nice looking image banners as buttons to link to the major sections of you…

in Why we chose not to go to 4e D&D June 2011

True, an OD&D category would probably be helpful. Course then so also would a BECMI category, since it's neither OD&D nor AD&D.

in Why we chose not to go to 4e D&D June 2011 edited June 2011

Hey there Cruelnicorn, just like to point out for you that there is an AD&D option here at the Portal, both for 1.0e and 2.0e. The 2.0e is filed under "AD&D 2.0":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns?campaign_filters whereas the 1.0e is f…

Welcome to the Portal Raithfyre. Sorry to here that you've had trouble establishing a long-term campaign. In my experience this can be one of the more difficult but rewarding feats a group can achieve. I myself have been involved with a group of …

in Need critique! May 2011

Welcome to the Portal tpmiller! Your site is looking great so far. Like Poutine pointed out, adding a sidebar is a great way to both organize your site, and make the various pages of that site more accessible. Black Veluma has already laid out th…

in Using 3rd party art work May 2011

Yeah I'll third what Deadseid has said. I have an art credits page within the acknowledgements section at my site where I list all the known artists whose work I have used, and then give a link to their websites.
