in [Announcement] Technical Updates Discussion September 2015

I would assume that this will be part of the weekly "end of week update" Alex mentioned previously. It'll likely be up tomorrow. On a personal note, I have been getting many more email notifications from the public parts (forums, blog, help) tha…

in [Announcement] Message from the CEO September 2015

My comment on the blog post was long enough, so I'll post the other, quick, less on-point parts here. First off, nothing in that comment or this post is against you, Alex. Second, how long was the released tech team working on OP before they w…

in Pathfinder - level 1-20 epic campaign (play by post) forming now September 2015

As a member of this campaign, I can say that we haven't heard from our GM, Montana, since the end of June. And according to the campaign dashboard, he hasn't logged in for 2 months. So yeah... _~Mae_

I also only see Alex on the Help page. @berdman, hey, another Immortal! Good to know there's another one around here. Y'know, that was my biggest minor gripe with the "Reforge Heroes"; we never got badges to signify our Reforger statuses. Gr…

in Obsidian Portal has no Wikipedia page! September 2015

Now that there has been some involvement in the site again, I thought I might bump this.

Here, here! (Now if we could just track them all down...)

in FATE @ Fridays 6-9 PM EST Online "The Defenders" September 2015

Well, I'm definitely interested in playing. I have to see about getting Fridays off, though. I'll put in for a change of availability at work tomorrow (it's certainly been long overdue). I'll post a blurb over on the other site to keep things f…

in A change to how the Filter works for the Characters page. September 2015

Why not offer both? A simple checkbox or dropdown menu could implement an option to switch between parameters. Just make sure the default is clear (and could even possibly be altered by a GM in the settings). And thank you Warenhari for the hel…

in What's your geek cred? September 2015

Amazing stuff, kissthesky. Are those ruins in the scenes handmade as well? I only ask because they look like the professional resin prefabs you can sometimes find in stores. Mychyl, welcome! You should share some of that homebrew sometime. I'…

in [Announcement] Technical Updates Discussion September 2015

Y'know Alex, I don't think that it's just Ruby on Rails that is the issue here, as there are certainly other sites and programs that run on it. The issue at hand is that OP was built from the ground up by Micah, and customised further with Ruby. A…

Pics would be most welcome, not just of the trophies. Gaming caverns and terrain items would be quite nice, too!

in 4 Rooms in 3 Hours? Players too cautious and slowwwww August 2015

Going to chime in here. I agree that you set your players up to think very cautiously after part 1, but it might be wise to be direct and tell them that not literally everything needs to be dissected and examined down to the minutiae. Alternativ…

in Sci-fi Nerd and GM August 2015

Welcome, O Captain. I am also interested to have a peek at your system. Good sci-fi is a beautiful thing. As for games, Stars Without Number has proved to be interesting, if a bit too deadly for my tastes (also too easy to break, but that's ano…

Hey all, I've been pretty silent here the last couple of days. I've checked in a couple of times every day, but a lot has happened in such a short amount of time, and it's left me a bit at a loss for words. That said, it seems to me that this p…

Lucky, you get to remodel! I wish I could tear apart my place and build it how I want.

@Blues I hope I didn't put across the thought that I believe all of the Preforge threads weren't relevant; the CSS ones are especially still useful, and I'm sure there are others. I mostly meant the old LFG, random complaints, and time-sensitive…

in Whatcha working on? August 2015

In game terms, or out of game terms? Why not both? In game news: I finally started to play another game with one of my gaming circles, 5e D&D. I went to Gen Con, didn't get to play anything, but I had a good haul from shopping. Met a few p…

Well, Bel, * The help videos have been broken since the Reforge. Now they aren't. It also added a potential new community of users by going to Youtube. * The name generator has begun to be implemented, and it will be updated again soon, so tha…

Sounds good, thanks Jerry. P.S. - For those who haven't checked the Facebook or Twitter pages, Obsidian Portal now has a "YouTube":https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpe0g9SHUorIfCtpucv99MA. It has all new help videos, something I know many people…

Hey Jerry, I gather that it's been a busy couple of weeks, but could we get another quick status update? _~Mae_

in Maps get their aspect ratio changed August 2015

What manner of unholy necromancy be this!? Joking aside, maps are still square, there are 5 levels of zoom. Old maps from before the Reforge update need to be reuploaded to fix them to the new 5 level format. And yes, it's still a bit of a me…

in YouTube Videos July 2015

I don't have any videos, but I'm guessing Youtube is updating their API again. Seems that's usually the cause. _~Mae_

in Abandoned places - a goldmine of images July 2015

This is why I use an alias with a dump email account. So I can reap the benefits of access without any of the personal info! (In truth, I really only log in on the rare occasion I need to "like" something for added bonuses, like those Kickstarters…

I'm also hoping for an update soon. -I'd also like to see the options and vote for the new T-Shirt.- EDIT: Just checked the blog to see that the deadline for submissions has been extended. -Guess I have no excuse not to make one up now!- I stil…

in What system have you NOT played yet? July 2015

Well, I can add +Vampire: the Requiem+, +Mage: the Awakening+, and +Pirates of the Spanish Main+ to my list now, as well as good old +Ravenloft+, courtesy of a few sales at my FLCS/GS and Half Price Books. The backlog continues to grow! Hopefull…

in What system have you NOT played yet? June 2015 edited June 2015

So I just came across copies of both +Vampire: The Requiem+ and +Werewolf: the Forsaken+ at my local Half Price Books. I think I'll be picking them up (and maybe +World of Darkness: Chicago+) so I can increase my chances of finally playing them.

in Shadowrun - Diamond Pulse June 2015

Oh man, welcome back Rase! And to Gaaran as well! We need a revival of some more of the strong "old blood". I wish I knew the system, or even had time to play. Unfortunately, I'm currently in the midst of designing a new campaign of my own. I…

in Obsidian Portal Launch Feedback June 2015

Just popping in with a quick suggestion for a future update. I would like a "dark theme" if possible for the main pages, forums, etc. It's much easier on the eyes for some (like myself), and I find it's more battery-effecient. _~Mae_
