in Recruiting for a Replacement in d20 Modern PbP plane-jumping game June 2010

Well hi there Successwarrior! Wow, I don't think I've ever seen a campaign with 10 pages of campaign logs before! I'm not looking to join a campaign right now but I just wanted to welcome to you to the portal. We've got a great community here so…

Well Hardhead, you finally convinced me to take the plunge to becoming Ascendant! I had been meaning to upgrade my account for some time, but seeing how you used your forums was what tipped me over the edge.

You know Hardhead, I was actually planning to do something similar with my ToDV campaign. The players just recently defeated a "Soul Forged" undead that had this weapon called a Soul Chain which was a pretty awesome weapon, but which threatened to …

"_I_" would catch those references FemmeLegion! That book ranks in my top 5 favorite books of all time. I would love to play in a campaign with either of those characters. In fact, I had almost forgotten, but in one of my campaigns I will be plan…

in Plot, Or therefore lack of. June 2010 edited June 2010

Well, like you have already pointed out, it isn't always easy to generate an in-depth story arc for a campaign that starts out in the "sandbox", but here are a couple of ideas: # *Memorable Characters*: Say for instance your players are in a dun…

Oh, hello again. See your other post for my response.

in Hoping to get started June 2010

Well howdy Daren! OK, so I'm not looking for players myself, but I thought I'd lend some advice. First, it's helpful to let people know what region your from. Many, perhaps most, of the campaigns on the Portal are not "online" campaigns. So if y…

Although I made a ton of background changes, I based the persona of "Madam Illendra":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/age-of-legends/characters/62531 loosely upon the character "Nandi" in the _Firefly_ episode "Heart of Gold." I liked the ch…

Welcome to the Portal Matney, you sound like a well accomplished man at 27! Hm, I'm not seeing a link to your site, but I will definitely check it out once you post one. Also, I'm looking forward to seeing your map as well. What software are you …

Oh, and here's a "Frost Worm":http://i843.photobucket.com/albums/zz351/arsheesh2/Age%20of%20Legends/Hirst%20Arts%20Dungeons/Frost%20Worm/038.jpg I made (it was my first, and perhaps best attempt at creating minis).

Alright, so I finally got around to taking some pics of my concrete (dental plaster) dungeon. All of the pieces were made using Bruce Hirst's "Castle Molds":http://www.hirstarts.com/, and I used "Woodland Scenics":http://woodlandscenics.woodlandsce…

Sure. Go to "Edit Settings" on your site's homepage, scroll down and you will find an option entitled "Game System". Click on the arrow and choose your system. Cheers, -Arsheesh

in A question for the DMs June 2010

I tend to write separate adventure outlines (in Microsoft Word) which act as a sort of quick reference for the flow of events (or several possible flow of events) in an adventure. However, when introducing important figures, or new scenes etc. I tr…

in Loving the Portal! June 2010

I agree with Grunn. The old black and white photos coupled with the newspaper handouts and that killer banner really help set the mood. I also second the idea of formatting your adventure logs as newspaper articles. If you wanted to get really cr…

in Picture Links June 2010

I've heard of others who have had similar problems. I'm not sure why some people seem to have this problem, but if the problem persists you can always upload your pics to a media hosting site such as Photobucket and then just copy the HTML code for…

Cool! Thanks for the links. I actually bought some supplies from woodland scenics to construct some three-dimensional trees, however haven't gotten around to making them yet. Ahhh, so much to do, so little time...

Nice! I really must look into this paper method as an alternative to the cumbersome concrete dungeon of mine. I also imagine that with this method it would not be too difficult to design your own dungeon tiles (e.g. seen lots of homemade dungeon b…

Hardhead, that's a really nice layout you got there! I also like your gaming den allot, much more spacious than my own. Gaaran, yeah you can do some pretty amazing things with Hirst Arts, provided you have the time, money and inclination. How…

Haven't tried the paper method yet. I actually did build an entire modular dungeon out of cement using "Hirst Arts":http://www.hirstarts.com/ molds. Unlike Dwarven Forge, which comes pre-built and pre-painted, Hirst arts produces molds which one t…

in Want to play June 2010

Hello DJ and welcome to the Portal! OK, a couple of suggestions. First, make it easy on DM's by telling them what region you are located in. Secondly, have you tried contacting DM's of existing campaigns looking for players yet? If you haven't d…

Hello GuyHoyle, I've seen several people who have used the OP as a place to build campaigns that they hope to run in the future, so you'd be in good company. Speaking for myself, I've benefited tremendously from the wiki tools. Also, there's a …

in Getting My Campaign to Featured Status Level June 2010 edited June 2010

I'm finding it difficult to come up with constructive criticism for your campaign site Hardhead. That's because I'm just amazed at how much of your world you've been able to flesh out in such a short time. And I am outright green with envy at how …

Hey, congratulations Grunn! I know the feeling of relief that comes when you finally get moved in to a new place, especially a place you really like. Best of wishes to your first game in your new apartment.

Hi Derek, I don't live in your neck of the woods but I just wanted to join Sandman in welcoming you to the Portal. By the way, if you want to find out which campaigns in your area might be looking for new players, check out the "Maps" tab on the OP…
