Character Image enhancements
March 2022
that's a nice feature, @ragnarhawk, stolen! I tend to crop for the portraits myself and dump the full body shots in the bio. Also works with Kallak's 5e DST. But I notice that a bio with like 10 big pictures becomes looooooooong, so a carousel wo…

player characters on the side of the front page
March 2022
It does make sense, thanks! But I think I will hold off for now as I have shelved my plans to teach myself programming language until the kids have gone off to college ;)

Filtered Links
March 2022
I could see a use for this in my campaign too, a page showing just characters with a tag would really simplfiy my cast of thousands character page into a few pages of casts of dozens. :D

how do i make a link open a new tab?
March 2022
oh wow, thank you! I had to look this up and found out about "tabnapping", I guess that is what we are talking about here. I will try out your solution. In the source I read about tabnapping, it advised adding rel="noopener noreferrer" after targ…

Items section question
February 2022
filtering/sorting option by owner would also be useful for the players I think. I can imagine a party wondering who has what artifacts just wanting to pull up this page and see the spread across their group. That's how I sorted my wikibased items pa…

Zyathe
February 2022
I never heard of it, but just looking at the Zyathe website,it looks quite rich. whether DM's go for it depends on the DM really. Either your are a worldbuilder in which case no, or you want a set world to base your stories in, in which case this…

multiple campaign portals for single story

that is awesome @DungeonMastetrLoki , thanks! So in your integration, a person with the right portal key could just hop from Krynn to Toril without bothering to cross the crystal sphere of their realm? Or do they need to stop over in a transitive p…

GMs, why do you think your Players play TTRPGs instead of MMORPGs?
February 2022
I havent played MMORPG's since the first expansion of WoW, but being commercial games I feel they tend to be designed to make people play more for loot, power upgrades and action, and keep you coming back for that stuff. There's very little actual r…

Thanx @Keryth987 , i think i will do just as you say: log on the new site and links to that on the main sites log. Can I have a link to your shared world to look around? @GamingMegaverse i saw spelljoined, it actually inspired me a bit. Mixing plane…

a second or third page like the character or items page
February 2022
The wikis are more flexible, but in the case of lots of ships i find the items page really fast and easy. Not that i would want the entire campaign like that, but being able to add 1 or 2 more items/characters style pages would help with ships or ot…

Add public comment section to a wiki page?
January 2022
@wolflord can I ask why you decided to use a wiki for this instead of the adventure logs? What do does the adventure log format miss? Just wondering if there are some cool ideas I can use :)

A Better Way to Display PDFs
January 2022
I use DST for characters but I have lots of PDF's for lore and stuff. Many of them enbedded inside accordions like this: https://gaximplague.obsidianportal.com/wikis/myths-legends or this https://gaximplague.obsidianportal.com/wikis/maztican-arms…

Add a checkbox option
January 2022
@NimrodYanai I manually built a quest log using accordions and check box icons. They aren't real check boxes, I edit them everytime a quest is fullfilled, but maybe this will give you some inspiration: https://gaximplague.obsidianportal.com/wikis…

@thaen, I hadn't thought about mobile! Taking a look I see it's below the comment and this is actually a nice place for it as weel for desktop: then you can go straight to the next story in line, up or down: I do think that this could be slightly t…

Items - option to allow edits from everyone
April 2021
Hi Thaen, I found it testing this out, thanks! However, it points to the actual players as opposed to the characters. It would be cool if the dropdown could pull from the character list (including NPCs). I envision the Items section could be like t…

Items - option to allow edits from everyone
April 2021
I think this would be a good feature. I don't use the items page because it's a bit too much like copy of the characters page but I feel I (and my players) would make more use of it if it worked more along ownership lines. My current items page is …

This calender feature looks quite nice, but I have come across a problem. I added an event for my Gaxim Plague game on the 17th, and subscribed in google calender to the URL. The google took the URL well enough to automatically name it Gaxim Plague,…

Turning Calendar Notifications Completely OFf
April 2021
I don't do it because I do not know if my players want to get another layer of admin in their social lives. I am going to do a test of creating a calender event and ask them now, see what they think ans see if they mind the email.

I could see myself using this to put my game times in the calender if it can synch with my google calender (or any calender) and it is just there rather than email all my players.

Markdown in wiki pages
April 2021
I have been thinking about this: if you added Markdown as an advanced options to the settings and I clicked it on in a campaign that already has Textile, would I need to go back and fix the older pages because the formatting will be all wierd?
