Hi Mike! I greet your shameless grab for attention with a warm "how do you do" ;) Seriously though, glad you decided to introduce yourself. Your a cool guy and you've got some killer sites there. I look forward to seeing more of you, and your sp…

in Hello! July 2010

Hi Joe, welcome to the Portal. You'll pick things up quick I'm sure. Just hang around the forums for a bit and ask questions and people will show you around. If you need help with HTML/Textile formatting, a good place to start is with Chainsaw's …

in Problems with ratings - official thread July 2010

Oh I see, I must have misunderstood your earlier point. I thought you meant that the "sort by most popular" filter ought to be removed altogether. If you are just saying that the star-rating system ought to be removed that's another matter entirel…

in Dealing with Dangerous Encounters & PC Death in Your Campaign July 2010 edited July 2010

So it sounds like most people are agreed that the element of real danger and the possibility of PC death are important within a campaign. Where people seem to differ is in just when and how PC deaths ought to occur. Some think PC death is appropri…

in Hello! (and a small plug) July 2010

Hello there Ben! Just a heads up, posting links in the forums to commercial sites is generally discouraged (though I checked out the link and those modules look like _loads_ of fun!). That said, welcome to the Portal. I know of several great Path…

in Problems with ratings - official thread July 2010

Well Frank, I agree that there would be some gains by doing away with a "Most Popular" sorting filter, but I think overall this would represent a net loss to the OP community, here's why. Getting rid of such a feature might give newer, less "visible…

in Problems with ratings - official thread July 2010

You know the more I think about it, the more Sandman's idea (several posts back) of keeping the "Favorites" option but switching out star ratings for a "Like" system seems to make allot of sense. In that proposed system, it is not possible to provi…

in Dealing with Dangerous Encounters & PC Death in Your Campaign July 2010

Frank, yeah that sounds like sound advice. My players tend to be pretty "dice heavy" players though, and while two of them I'm sure wouldn't mind me pulling a few punches with the dice, I have another player who might take issue with the inconsiste…

in Dealing with Dangerous Encounters & PC Death in Your Campaign July 2010

OK, so it sounds like both of you guys feel that where death is involved, "role" playing and storyline elements ought to take precedence over a "roll" of the dice. This is not so much to protect PC's from death per se, but rather to reward good rol…

in How do you do, OP? July 2010

Hey Jonathon. The great thing about GIMP is that you don't have to have a tremendous amount of artistic skill or talent to be able to manipulate images. To be honest, most of my knowledge of GIMP comes from two sources: (1) the "GIMP User Manual":…

in How do you do, OP? July 2010

Hello again Jonathon. See what I mean? "Ask and you shall receive." I just finished giving your new site a casual once over, and am intrigued by its premise. As previously mentioned, I am unfamiliar with Savage Worlds. Is it a modern supernatur…

in How do you do, OP? July 2010

Welcome to the Portal Jonathon (hey, and better late than never)! I have heard of, but am unfamiliar with Savage Worlds. Aside from it's being somewhat ethically gray, what type/genre of a campaign will you be running? Once you get your site set …

Thanks for pointing this out Sandman. I only just discovered it myself a couple of weeks ago and I'm sure that most people here probably don't know about this option. By the way, good to see you back at the forums again! Cheers, -Arsheesh

I agree with Jim and Erwin; I third the motion for on-site document hosting.

That's...hilarious Jim. You came up with that at 9 years old?! Man, my sense of humor consisted of "your mother" and "fart" jokes at that age.

Hey DR, Chainsaw has some tips on formatting the size and position of images in his "Helps and Tips FAQ":http://forums.obsidianportal.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=1114&page=1#Item_21 that you might find useful. Cheers, -Arsheesh

in Hello! July 2010

Hello Jackwhiscky, welcome to the Portal! I agree with Erwin, Chainsaw's Help's and Tips FAQ is a great resource. As far as other ideas for improving your wiki, that all depends upon what you intend to use the wiki for. If you are using it ju…

in FACEPALM!: Learning from your mistakes July 2010

"The Company of the Mattress," that's got a nice ring to it. Sort of conjures up images of perilous quests to volcanic mountains. "One mattress to rule them all!" Necrotic cysts on the other hand, now that is just sick man! I like it!

Hey welcome to the portal Hinhana! Yeah I'm a real fan of Pathfinder as well, and not all that hot for 4e, but hey, to each his own. Looks like you live quite a ways a way from SoCal (where I live), so unfortunately I can't extend you an invitatio…

in Implementing Player Journals, Other questions July 2010

Welcome to the portal dragnsteph! Regarding your question about character journals, I know of some campaigns (such as the "Melekar Chronicles":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/melekar/adventure-log) that include character journals right in al…

in [Request] "Format comments as" for campaign comments July 2010

So far this hasn't been a problem with my players, but I can definitely see how it would be a problem for other campaigns where the players tend to leave lengthy comments. That said, I think your suggestion to add a "Text" formatting option makes a…

Hey Jobbo_Fett, welcome to the Portal! Just to let you know, the OP forums are a great place to find discussions on role-playing tips and tricks, plot, character building and that sort of thing, but not necessarily the best place to look to join a …

in Thoughts on my plot outline (it's REALLY long, sorry...) July 2010

Yeah that's quite well thought out Gaaran. I've actually never run, played in, nor even read any campaign journals concerning an epic level campaign before, so this is sort of my first glimpse. I like the overall story arc of taking down Venca. I…

Yeah the Portal can be used both as a handy little wiki to keep track of your own campaign info, and a way of showing off to others within the community just what your campaign is about. Some DM's are really only interested in the first task, in wh…
