Duskreign Sulk Thread (Come pity the poor Duskreign)
December 2010
Boy oh boy, there's never a fun answer for these situations. My current group consists of myself, my younger brother, and three guys who all have conflicting work schedules, spouses/girlfriends, and children under 5 (plus another on the way in 1 cas…

Battle Mats: Chessex vs. Roll4Initiative
November 2010
I don't know if they still include these, but my old 3.5 DMG came with a large folding paper battlemat included. It's probably around 2' by 3' or so - I'm at work, so I can't dig it out to check - but it's easily big enough to have even the most epi…

Welcome (officially) and thanks again for the comment! See you around.

Micro-leveling
October 2010
Would it cheer you up if I said that your system is only similar to others I have seen in that it is modular/organic, classless (in the best possible way), and allows characters to grow more naturally than rigid class leveling systems? Your speci…

Micro-leveling
October 2010
I like it Duskreign - it does lend a much more organic feel to 4E, which I think is something that's always been lacking in D&D in general. Of course, that can vary with play style and your GM (I have known some GMs who imposed roleplaying requi…

Thoughts? Too Distracting?
October 2010
Huh, you know, I saw the code line for the background image, but I never actually noticed it until just now. I dropped it on mine, but it doesn't really interfere with the functionality of yours at all. It's just hard to see.

Thoughts? Too Distracting?
October 2010
You were right Rase, that menu was considerably lower than I intended it to be - I couldn't tell until I got home last night, though, because our monitors at work are flipping tall, and I usually hover my mouse in the lower half of the screen. I've …

Well that just looks awesome! Thanks to you Rase for coming up with this brilliant application, and to you Chainsaw for refining it to perfection. "The Blood of Life":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/the-blood-of-life/wikis/home-page

Thoughts? Too Distracting?
October 2010
Um, wow, that's kind of awesome. I am impressed, and as soon as I have time, I'm going to try and sort the code out - unless you're kind and generous enough to post it here first ;-)

I'm looking forward to it Duskreign, and if nothing else, it's the thought that counts. I think I'm okay with that plan, autumnschild. But I am curious to know who you all would've picked as well.

Haha, if this entry is a winner then you can share in my glory - metaphorically speaking ;-) Okay, so I have no real sense of rhythm when it comes to sound or movement, but I can see it on the page, so here's my final entry. I think it could fit…

All right then, I've finally got an entry for this contest - and another may follow, in a different category. This one probably falls most closely into "Something else entirely but still about Squidgirl." Readers may note that the characters Bruti…

Characters - Planning, or Evolution?
September 2010
Random thoughts fueled by too much coffee: I've generally found that starting with a clear plan in mind really helps me create a workable and believable character in the first place - that is, I go into character creation thinking about where my …

Cake is a lie
September 2010
I'm sure that some people doubt that the cake is a lie. If you're one of those people, you're wrong. It is a lie. "But Jon," you say. "I must try." "Very well," I reply. "Look if you must, but you will not find what you seek. Here, take "th…

Hey
September 2010
Welcome to OP Marthaurion. It looks like Duskreign has taken care of the actual helping part of greeting a new member, so I'm not going to offer you any advice at this time. I've always found alpacas to be more helpful than llamas, but consideri…

Curufea: Welcome to the Portal. I've been curious about DWAITAS for a while now, so I'll have to keep an eye on your wiki. Also, way to go with the DCS! I saw you mentioned on twitter earlier today, so you're kind of OP famous, at least for a lit…

The Now Listening Thread
August 2010
The semi-poetry was intentional - that's how I make my sanity checks. Streaming music is not looked kindly on here, I guess because bandwidth is short or something. I keep meaning to bring in a flash drive, but it hasn't happened yet. Ideally…

Obsidian Portal Podcast...
August 2010
I just wanted to throw a little moral support out there for you all - this is a great idea, and it sounds like it's starting to come together. If I didn't have two jobs, several writing/art projects, and the illusion (delusion?) of a social life,…

The Now Listening Thread

I've been listening to random music from warrenellis.com, but now I'm at work and silence reigns, broken only by the quiet clicking of keyboards and the sad slurping of coffee.

VociferousUrsus joins Obsidian Portal. Begins plan to write longest discussion topic ever seen on OP

Dusk, I'm pretty sure he's got an alarm clock set, but it's your sanity. To NoisyBear and CJWaitsDreaming, welcome to the portal. It doesn't get much better than this (so are you an optimist or a pessimist?). Also, what do you mean? What kin…

Top 10 Movies? Pretty off topic.

I don't know if these are my Top 10 of all time or not, but they're 10 movies that come to mind when I try to choose - I've also attempted to describe why I picked them. I will likely repeat some things that other people have said, because you all …
