in Question on Adventure Logs December 2007

I can't speak for AidanDark, but what I was thinking of was something along the lines of this- *Log Post 22: Session Title* Mimi and Lucy and Jojo all went down the Sword Coast and cut a swath of destruction with a +2 sandwich. Meanwhile, dear o…

in ADDED - Line breaks (again) and navigation. December 2007

bq. My point wasn’t even that it was overriding my other formatting – my point was that on the wiki page, it was doing nothing. Frankly though, after spending most of a second evening toying with the site now, I think I’m going to stick to using the…

Welcome to the site. My boyfriend is a bit like that with D&D, although he enjoys other systems as well. It's a solid formula, I suppose- and it's one of those few game systems with an identity all its own, so that makes it easier to pick up. …

in Hello and thank you December 2007

Welcome to the site! It really is a great tool, and I think you and your group will enjoy it a great deal. bq. Also, you should feel lucky that your players are excited. From what I hear from others around here, most players ignore the website al…

in Hello & Introduction December 2007

Hello, and welcome to the site! bq. I really don’t like D&D’s system since I far prefer storytelling over combat and the history of D&D is rooted heavily in combat. It is, but that doesn't mean a D&D game can't have a fantastic st…

bq. Once all of these changes have been implemented to the OP site we’re considering wiping out all existing ratings and giving all users a clean slate. I think this would almost need to be a necessity, from a community standpoint. bq. Hail ev…

bq. Um . . . I don’t think so. If anyone is calling my game a soap opera, they haven’t told me about it. I was just curious, because I tend to get that a lot about our games. We tend to focus more on character development, dialog, and drama, so a…

in Stat Block Templates December 2007

That's a huge task, but I think it could be helpful, only so long as you can opt out of using a uniform character sheet in the case of house rules. For example, two of the three games I am a part of don't follow the conventional rules of their respe…

Ah, Cold Blood. That's another one I knew about, and I couldn't think of the name. I guess I could have, you know, looked it up, but I wasn't feeling too motivated today. bq. Our style of play tends to be dramatic, emotional, and verbose, so it’s…

bq. For two, ObsidianPortal can be used to archive stories and characters and items in ANY game system. The only thing that’s really going to distinguish a Fantasy HERO character from a Scion: Hero character or a D&D 3.5 character is the “crunch…

Welcome to the Portal! bq. i’ve tried chatbased games, and if its run correctlly, i LOVE it (mIRC is an AWSOME tool for chat-based RP) but i dont care too much for forum based…too much of a delay… There are a couple of really good chat based g…

Ah, I see. Well, even if he doesn't, you could always make one yourself, and maintain it. There are a few players on here that do that for their campaigns. Of course, that can be a little tricky since the players are never privy to as much informati…

in Featured campaign updates? December 2007

Even though this topic is pretty old, I just wanted to come in and make a little update- as the new community champion (dun-dun-dun!), I'm the one doing featured campaigns now. I intend to do a new featured campaign about every two weeks, and possib…

bq. Mutants and Masterminds is pretty close to being THE perfect system to run in a chat room, btw. Only one die to roll and they discourage you from using a battle map the way you do in most other d20 games. (Could you imagine trying to battle map …

in Another Texan Gamer December 2007

I've done online games before, but never chat based. Personally, I've always found online games- particularly D&D- to be a disaster, rife with scheduling and commitment problems and, as mentioned, arrogant demigod characters. I've never actually…

in Player Involvement December 2007

bq. My DM took the anachronism, technophobe, and any other flaw similar to that when he was born. We’re convinced he’s some kind of entropy mage. In any case, he managed to make a few NPCs and pages for our game (Sins of the Father), along with a de…

I'm interested in learning this, too.

in Ratings December 2007

bq. Finally, if the front page had a “Campaigns with the most fans” section, I think that’d cut down on the negative votes, since, as far as I can tell, campaigns can’t lose fans. Yeah, they can, actually. You can choose to unfavorite a campaign …

Welcome to the site. As I said earlier, I'm very intrigued by your campaign. It looks very promising, with lots of characters and interesting ideas. I'm looking forward to seeing more.

in Another Texan Gamer December 2007

Well, considering you've probably been hear longer than I have, it would seem a bit strange to welcome you to the site- but at the very least, hello! bq. Now I roleplay via chat software, which is different, but advantageous in a lot of ways. Col…

in A greater GM than I cometh... December 2007

Welcome to the site! bq. I especially thought of this place as a great resource for him when he announced his plans to run a single campaign that takes place in several different settings at the same time (with each player having a different char…

bq. But so long as they are included, I don’t get an accurate representation of my players’ rating – which shoots the feature in the foot. That's an issue I'd not considered in the past. Well, if they implement a comment feature, that also might …

in Campaign-Specific Items December 2007

I believe you can add images to any type of page, it just wouldn't necessarily with the same simplicity you could upload a photo to an official item. Check out the textile syntax help link at the side of the page the next time you are making or edit…

in Campaign-Specific Items December 2007

One option you could use is to create campaign specific items in the Party Wiki, which should allow you to do everything you seem to be interested in doing. As far as I can glean, you can't edit an item because an item's entry exists as something…

in What do you want in your OP community? December 2007

I'm curious- what sort of things are people wanting to see become a part of the OP community? Are there any things people would like to avoid? Things you think would be particularly helpful in making the community grow?

in Internal Server Error December 2007

I basically keep a holding pattern around the site like some sort of incredibly bored bird of prey, and I can attest that things like this basically never happen- and on the odd chance that they do, they tend to recover quickly.

in How did you get here? November 2007

Or, perhaps more to the point, how did you end up coming to OP? I'm just curious to see how different users found their ways to the site.

in Hello from Maine November 2007

My boyfriend keeps trying to pressure me to pick up Eberron, but I'm just initially wary of most campaign settings. I've never been entirely comfortable taking liberties with someone else's canon, so I've always been timid in regards to using them. …
