Great feedback krancesconi, I agree that using a variety of different methods seems a better choice then relying upon one way of motivating player participation.

Many thanks for the kind remarks Nick, I would take you as a player in my campaign in an instant, but for the issue of geographical distance.

So I learned how to use GIMP over the Christmas Break and have recently put it to good use by creating "navigation buttons":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/tales-of-darkmoon-vale and "navigation text":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/a…

Cool character concept Nick. I also like how you've given all of your NPC's "dossiers" and info about their connections and current whereabouts. Very cloak and dagger.

*Regarding Player Participation:* Boy I here you Grunn. I'm still trying to find ways to captivate the interest of my own players both at the table, and at our OP site. I had hoped that the "Prestige Points" system I discussed earlier in this t…

By the way Grunn, as I was checking out your GM resources page (which is great), it occured to me that another great resource available to the frugal DM would be the "free mini-modules":http://www.gamespp.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi?roleplaying that wizar…

Wow Sandman, you've done quite a bit of work to your site since last I checked it out. Looks amazing. Great selection and placement of the images by the way. This would be one of those rare campaign sites that I would want to read thouroughly, if…

Oh Grunn, you've just made my day! I feel like a fat kid in a candy shop...so many tasty options to choose from, and even though I know I don't have the time to indulge, I'm going to anyway!

Thanks for the heads up Grunn. I've been using a scaled down version of an "encounter calculator":http://www.penpaperpixel.org/tools/d20encountercalculator.htm for our campaigns, but the one you offered has more features to choose from. I'll have …

Hey Chainsaw, that's a great map you got there! You should show it off in the finished maps section of the Portal. Also, thanks man for all that work you did in your now "official" unofficial sticky, it's been a great resource me in developing my …

Wow, great job so far on that map Grunn! I made a few comments on your WIP post about a couple of ways that you might be able to correct some of the "mistyness" of the snow caps, but all in all, I think those mountains look great, especially given …

I might have to steal that rule for rolling "in absentia" from you, one of the campaigns I'm DM'ing is running into just those sorts of issues. Regarding prestige point's vs XP awards, one of the advantages to using prestige (or action, or karma …

Onsilius has come up with a great system his Minrothad campaign called "karma":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/minrothad/wikis/karma which essentially allots players a certain amount of points for their contribution to the site. They can the…

Thanks for the kind words Grunn. I haven't played around with CC3, or mapping symbols yet, but I've seen a couple amazing maps made this way (check out Gandwarf's "map":http://forum.cartographersguild.com/showthread.php?7351-New-map-of-the-Valley-%…

Hey Grunn, nice to meet another Guild member. By the way, great job on the Fenwatch map, I love the vivid colors (I repped you for it at the Guild). I made my first map over the Christmas break using GIMP as well, following Ascension's Atlas style…

This is a great discussion. Chainsaw thanks for the heads up on how to get poster size maps; I've actually been wondering how to do that for a while but have been too busy to look into it. By the way, for those here who are interested in creating …

Welcome back to the Portal DiceMasterNick, always good to meet a GM who is passionate about world-building. Look forward to checking out your new site. By the way, I noticed that your attempt to link the text "campaign" to your campaign page faile…

Kfrancesconi, Thanks for the heads up! I've checked out the Karma rules and found them to be brilliant. Onsilius has graciously allowed me to use the rules in my campaign, so I look forward to seeing PC participation increase. By the way, you'…

Hi there Ken (Sergei), Yeah, in briefly looking through your campaign site the other night I could tell that the PC's directly contributed to the site (at least as far as campaign journals go), but I didn't know the extent of it. I am impressed,…

I'd just like to add my vote for Runestone as a featured campaign. I visited the site a few months ago while desperately trying to avoid homework and found myself captivated by the campaign. It is well thought out, story and character driven, and …

Yeah I'll second Abernomicon's comments. You have a really easy to follow user interface and nice graphics. I've always been curious about Classic D&D, and the world of Mystara-your site has made me doubly so. I am looking forward to reading …

If you ever do become rich and famous, DON'T COME HERE! Seriously, with kind of money it takes to buy a two bedroom two bathroom house in moderately decent neighborhood here, you could be living like a king in most other parts of the world. Yeah, …

Hi Samir from Denver, welcome to the Portal. Wow, that's quite a resume you got there! Are you using the Portal to run your Gurps/Black Ops/Banestorm campaign? If so you might think about posting a link so that others can check out your site. I …

Yeah that's a very nice looking site you've got there Sandman. The visuals are stunning, and my Spanish is terrible, I could tell that you've put allot of thought into your world. Did you do some of those maps yourself? Well anyway I would be blo…
