Uploading published maps?
May 2012
So far, I don't think any users on OP have received a Cease and Desist notification from using copyrighted images. As long as you are just chronicling your groups adventure through an established setting/adventure and not constructing some sort of d…

Help! Im an unexperienced DM and need inspiration
May 2012
Have an open dialogue with your players. Offer them a chance to speak about what they lie and don't like in your game. Make sure that you are in a state of mind where you are able to take the criticism and don't be all defensive if you don't like wh…

Just need some help coding my wiki pages
February 2012
As evident, a request for assistance will have most people tripping over themselves in an effort to offer advice and insight. If there's a particular string of code or a layout concept that's giving you problems, don't hesitate to fire off a PM or …

Beta Testers Needed for wiki page versioning feature
February 2012
Works fine for me. This will be a great safety net for editing purposes. I often fire up several tabs where I'm editing a page, just to snag some code I was using, and I often worry I might cut some huge chunk of text and accidentally save the page.…

How do you do, Obsidian Portal?
February 2012
Strong introduction. Your layout looks pretty bad-ass. The Nav-VBar is a little skewed for me, but I've noticed the floating side-bars tend to be unfriendly with lower res screens. Overall, first impressions? Looks great. You seem to have a good ey…

Sandbox vs Canned
January 2012
I don't have a preference really, having played and run both types. I don't think one is inherently better than the other, it just depends on the story.

Combat Encounter Brainstorm: Battle at the Inn
January 2012
When in doubt, introduce fire. Also prepare the battlefield in advance. Make special note of items and obstacles that could escalate the scene. For example, a load bearing beam that if damaged from, say, an area attack, might bring a wall or ceil…

Cheating
January 2012
I think every player and DM has fudged a roll at some point, or allowed an extra saving throw if skill check to get out of a particularly sticky situation. Generally I think it's something to be avoided, an indication of a system or story's particu…

Favorite GM game systems
January 2012
Right this moment, I'm mostly playing 4E, so much so that it sort of eclipses other game's I play on the side. I'm partial to the Mouseguard system, although I've never really played much of it. I think it's one of those systems where the art and st…

Hiding you campaign
January 2012
My suggestion to the Obsidian Portal crew would be to hide recent updates on closed campaigns. Vulmea; That's the first time I've heard of a negative experience with anyone on OP, which is sort of a weird relief, since I buy into the theory that …

Should random encounters be level appropriate?
January 2012
Vulmea raises a good point there, random Encounters can be a really useful tool for making the world seem like a living breathing place. It can end up backfiring though if you are not careful. I remember having something odd happen to my PC's at…

The "Review my Campaign" thread
January 2012
I can see what you mean about the DM being fond of Hyper-Linking. My first suggestion would be to cut that down, like a lot. Look at standard Wikipedia pages and how they handle linking, at the first mention of a particular character or article, p…

Arsheesh is now a Kiwi!

Hey Arsheesh! Long time no see, nice to hear from you. Hope the transition was smooth and you are enjoying kiwiland =) Was the move a permanent thing, or it is just for the duration of your study?

First time DM!!! :D
January 2012
Heya Gyoza, welcome to OP. For music selection I would second Hurst's suggestion to check out the gaming music campaign. But I'd also suggest you consider going for something more than just music with a Soundscape. Playing a continuous playlist …

Strangest thing that your players have come up with in a campaign
January 2012
Damn it man, You are the DM! Take back control of your game the only way possible. OUTDO THEM! Introduce something so horrible and twisted they'll never dare to think about crossing the line again!

Customize Campaign Background
January 2012
I'd like to re-request this feature. I know there is a work around solution for uploading custom backgrounds, but feel that it would make a lot more sense and be a whole bunch easier for one to change it in the campaign settings.

The "Review my Campaign" thread
January 2012
For image editing the choices really come down to Photoshop if you can afford it or "GIMP":http://www.gimp.org/ if you want something free. Both are very good and pretty much on par capabilities wise. For me learning how to use these was very much …

Should random encounters be level appropriate?
January 2012
If they engage in something clearly far beneath their abilities, try and downgrade the challenge to something easier and more compact, like a skill roll. If they are powerful enough to squash your average city guard effortlessly, just give it to the…

Should random encounters be level appropriate?
January 2012
Well, it of course depends very much on the system, but generally speaking yeah, I think random encounters should be level appropriate, otherwise why bother spending too much time on them. If you got yourself a level 11 party taking on a handful of …
