Hello and Advice
August 2010
Hmm, I space out for a week or two on other projects, and there are all kinds of new people on here. Welcome to the OP, op. Like gaaran said, it seems your initial questions have all been answered, and you've been pointed to Chainsaw's FAQ, sooo…

A Noob approaches.

Welcome to the hobby and the Portal! I'm afraid I don't have any advice or help to offer that hasn't already been mentioned, but if you have any other questions about the site or gaming just post 'em up here. If not I, then someone here will be sur…

The Gibson Institute

This is a indeed a great idea, Jim. I've got it Favorited, and when I have some free time from what I'm currently working on, I'll see about adding in what Cyberpunk I have. I'm also, of course, looking forward to perusing everyone else's hard wor…

Hello all
July 2010
Welcome cmdrchristof (only 2 days behind everyone else)! It looks like sandman's got the helpful links thing locked down, so I'm mostly just here to say "good luck!" What country are you from originally, if you don't mind my asking? And to where …

Ah, well, that'll teach me to read better. Don't have fun in Vegas then. Have fun in Seattle. And I heartily endorse more one-offs - best of luck!

Hi everyone!
July 2010
Welcome to OP, bcforme001! Congratulations on being a first-time DM, as well -- as arsheesh said, it can be a lot of work, but it can be even more fun. As is not unusual, from what I've seen, arsheesh has already pointed you in the direction of …

I think Frank and kenurion have covered the two biggest pieces of advice I would give you as far as preparation goes - extra time to choose characters, and plenty of character choices will both go a long way. arsheesh's suggestion of writing out …

Wow....just wow. I mean, unholy cow. I think I have dreams in which I'm able to keep a single continuous story going through that much history. Looking forward to reading more.

Hello Joe. I'm going to ditto sandman on two things: 1: gaaran and DuskReign have already pointed you towards the path that leads to having a cool site. 2: View Source is a fantastic tool for figuring out how someone else did something bett…

Duskreign seeks to win friends and influence people
July 2010
Howdy, Duskreign, pleasure to meet you. I can definitely hear you on wanting to create a complete record - my own weakness is an inability to confine myself to single world/genre/anything. I haven't come across your site yet, but I would definitel…

Dealing with Dangerous Encounters & PC Death in Your Campaign
July 2010
I like that second option a lot Kenurion - the concept of rotating primary characters between story arcs appeals to me in particular. This might be partially related to the fact that I tend to create 2 or 3 characters before deciding which to go wi…

Dealing with Dangerous Encounters & PC Death in Your Campaign
July 2010
That is always a tricky situation, and it's difficult to fault the player for not wanting his or her character to die. However, I agree that you have the correct side of it: sometimes heroes die. Personally, I've watched proudly as many of my …

How do you do, OP?
July 2010
Glad to hear I'm not alone in that, Frank. There is so certainly no small amount of useful information just lying about around here. I have to tell you, the newspaper headlines and custom documents strewn about your pages are going to be haunting …

How do you do, OP?
July 2010
JimTriche: Thank you much - View Source is actually one of the main reasons my sidebars display at all! I'll definitely be using it to figure out how to make other things work better. sandman: Oh I do, thanks! Yeah, languages seem to be a matte…

How do you do, OP?
July 2010
edited July 2010
Thanks gaaran - I have a tendency to go overboard on the details sometimes, as much for the pleasure I get from writing as for the chance a player will read it. I can tell that's good advice, because I don't know why I didn't think of it myself; I'…

How do you do, OP?

Thanks, Arsheesh, I appreciate it! The campaign I plan on running this fall is called "Beyond the Pale":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/beyond-the-pale, and the site/wiki are just about as good to go as they can be without characters or p…
