Arsheesh! Thanks for your valuable feedback; I was just thinking about revamping the main page the other day, and will gladly take your suggestion! I also thank you for the Cartographer link; I've actually been aware of them for some time, but wan…

Regarding "Changing History":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/l5r-changing-history I'm honestly not as big a fan of oriental settings as I'd like to be. That said, I found this one to be one of the best campaigns posted on this thread, an…

in Destructive Players February 2012

In short (or rather long), remember that the GM makes the rules & the world. The DM has the power to authorize or reject any character for any reason or no reason, *but* a wise DM doesn't reject characters out of hand; the DM should provide exp…

Regarding "Kosova":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/kovosa/wikis/metal I'm afraid this review will have to be relatively brief, there may be much more to comment on, and I fully intend to further review the campaign in the future. A few no…

You're welcome! In follow-up, 1. Most definitely; excellent job! 2. Yeah; if you want public-domain, or historic art, Wikipedia and Wikimedia have been very helpful to me (except that I'm rather picky). A popular site for modern artists, esp…

in Cheating February 2012

I would (and have) fudged the outcome of an encounter in favor of a player, but that was in large part because I wasn't satisfied with the way I presented the threat, and the fact that it was a side encounter that was randomly generated. Under simi…

Regarding "Valdorian":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/valdorian-age-rising-power-on-the-frontier I don't have too much to say about this one, which may be a good sign. First, the introduction (i.e. Home Page) and general structure is p…

Regarding: "Eralfast":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/eralfast 1) Consider moving the bulk of your organization to your "Wiki Main Page":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/eralfast/wikis/main-page; the Home Page is best suited for a b…

Regarding: "Age of Worms":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/ageofworms-ap/wikis/main-page; YES! Awesome banner and design; nice intro too! Now please finish the rest so I can find out more. I really like the overall structure; it's simp…

Regarding Ignus3's campaign "Galoren":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/galor As was mentioned before, it is definitely under construction, but I thought I'd throw in my own "two coppers" (yoink!) since my own campaign setting is in a simil…

Regarding KenSee's campaign "Paths of Destiny":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/paths-of-destiny-ken/ First off, I like the simplicity and almost natural flow that characterizes the structure. It seems to have an internal consistency that …

Thanks killervp, I'll be sure to address those things as soon as possible! Yeah, I'm definitely planning to have a lot more imagery and styling when this is finished, but I want to make sure the setting _is_ finished (or nearly so) before it _loo…

in The "Review my Campaign" thread December 2011

Okay, before I get too carried away, I thought I'd at least see what some people think as to whether I'm on the right track. I'd like to submit the campaign I've been poking at for the last year or so: "The Chronicles of Erdon":http://www.obsidianp…

in Back-Linking December 2011

Cool. I will definitely have to keep that in mind; at least I have a half decent (hopefully) solution to the Acheron problem (i.e. confusion).

lol - that might explain why the campaign can't be viewed.

in Game System Displayed on Campaign November 2011

Ok, assuming the DM has opted for the built-in system tag, and not covered it up with background/html/graphics/etc., you should see it at least on the Home Page (where you first go when you go to a site via standard links) right below the tagline - …

in Population vs. Housing November 2011

Also, thanks Stephen for shedding light on some of those more historical population figures.

in Population vs. Housing November 2011

I too was reminded of what Stephen more-or-less pointed out. I figure you can estimate that well enought with your original suppositions Stray: for poor districts, take your 3/home avg, but stack your homes on top of each other, so you effectively …

in Back-Linking November 2011

Not at all! Thanks for your insight Rase! I was afraid there wouldn't be. I was asking specifically because I noticed that specific function is part of Wikipedia, and thought it would be a real big help. I can see how it might be difficult to im…

in Frivolity November 2011

It may just be that the majority of my wiki will be a frivolity; at least one major sub-section of it may very well have to be.

in Wiki Page Name Issues November 2011

Are you able to find the page through the nav menu on the right? (List Pages: +Show All+) Second, do I understand correctly that you are starting with a title in another wiki page? (i.e. typing "[[Part A : B]]" into, say, Home Page?) If you ar…

in Looking for some advice November 2011 edited November 2011

[Edit] Welcome! It's always good to see a new DM starting their path to (hopefully) glory! If you haven't already, I highly recommend the DM Guide (or its equivalent in your preferred system), but don't read it all at once - though it may be quite…

in Ned help with NPC November 2011

gnunn! That's an awesome idea. HexIron: the dwarf could always be an Avatar of Moradin (or even a simple cleric or other servant) - or whoever your dwarven deity or other powerful figure is; exactly why Moradin (or his counterpart) would have an…

This should probably be added to the "Unofficial Sticky"

in Class Table Code November 2011

Just thought I'd make a quick note that if anyone needs more than 10 levels (e.g. 12, 13, 20), all they need to do is copy a number of rows they need from the top (i.e. row 1), and paste onto the bottom, then add a '1' in front of all the new row ID…

in [Feature Requrest] Insert tag limited character lists in wiki pages November 2011

Interesting idea; could definitely simplify and expand things. But what if someone wants a list of pinkerton mages and a list of fighters? Wouldn't that require both an 'or' and 'and'?

in [Feature Requrest] Show quick descripton on character list November 2011

Agreed. Hear, hear!

in Background Feature: Ideas? November 2011

Oh, and much thanks! From one who is er, uh, less artistically inclined (in real-time anyway), usable work is always worthy of much gratitude.
Beaumains
in Background Feature: Ideas? November 2011

I'd like to suggest something along the lines of a dark and sinister setting; something that might remind one of Orthanc or Barad-dur, as depicted in Jackson's rendition of The Lord of the Rings (for a popular example). A lot of GMs would like to r…

in Backgrounds - user created? November 2011

To answer the question of how to better create awareness of Contests, I see three options off-hand: 1) Send distinct emails when a contest starts, with a brief description in the subject line (e.g. "ObsidianPortal: Campaign Background Contest [en…
