Yes, you are wise. I am starting my campaign bible backup today. The only interesting part (since not a wiki) is ordering the pages. My main wiki has buttons, those could be chapters I suspect.

@Ketherian, looks like I am going with the "paste as HTML" method into a Word document. It gives me a little more control over what I select, and then if there are any inconsistencies, I can edit it in word. Thanks to everyone who suggested…

@Leonidas, that's helpful. Is that the result of pasting screenshots together? If so, simple idea that didn't occur to me. @ketherian, I'm looking into your idea also. THANKS!

I endorse all the above comments. The silence is astounding. To be honest, I suspect they bit off more than they could chew, and are still overwhelmed. (There is no disrespect intended here). And they probably feel cornered...say something…

in Email Notifications from Campaign Forums August 2014

Email notifications are so buggy on forum posts that I can't count on them anymore. Similar issues to what you have described. The best answer I got from them on a ticket was that it was a yahoo rejection thing. Now I just schedule myself to s…

Nevermind...I misunderstood. Doh...

in D&D Next Character Sheet August 2014

thankful, but curious.... why did you chose "Basic D&D 5e" instead of "Dungeons & Dragons, 5th Edition"?
SkidAce
in D&D Next Character Sheet August 2014

Yes, If you are set to D&D Next Playtesting... But if you chose the recently updated tag Dungeons & Dragons, 5th Edition, you won't get it. I left them a message on the help forums, hoping they would switch it over.

Hey Adoraith, where is that huge battlefield pic on your main page from?

in Unconquered Kingdoms for COTM! July 2014

I do wish that you folks could see the forums where the RP is occurring. Editing for typos and importing into adventure logs takes some work...so its a fair bit behind. The players on average post once or twice a day (excepting holidays or dep…

You guys, I blush...seriously...I just plagiarize and copy your pioneering work. but thanks.

weasel0, if you stay signed in (like I also do) when you select "All campaigns" from the campaign dropdown, or if at your profile page and click on "Campaigns" (in between Home and Games Nearby) the resultng list of campaigns always has the current(…

I mean they missed posting it up, there was still a winner that month.

If I recall, they actually missed one once.

in Can campaigns be run PbP on campaign forums? July 2014

I wonder what caused the change when they upgraded the portal. Perhaps the forums were too much of a load on their server. I notice my campaigns with lots of forum play load a lot slower than the ones that just hold info/wiki pages.

@Kallak That code is suggested by Wolfhound at "Dresden Files Dallas":https://dfd.obsidianportal.com/wikis/main-page tutorials and was tweaked to my use as best I could. I have learned enough coding to understand what you are saying about iden…
SkidAce
in Can campaigns be run PbP on campaign forums? June 2014

Yes, cut and pasted from the forum posts. The only things that don't transfer are the battlemaps I insert, and the initiative tables that I leave out (not needed in an adventure log). When I get the time I go back and edit for error,s and fix te…

I had a guy favorited who had something like that, pop ups on his map I think. I will look around. Personally, I 'm not sure how to accomplish that.
SkidAce
in Can campaigns be run PbP on campaign forums? June 2014

Yes, as you guessed, the reason you cannot tell is because you can no longer "see" the forums. An unfortunate change during the upgrade. "HERE":https://unconquered-kingdoms.obsidianportal.com/wiki_pages/shadows-of-the-mercenary-part-1 is an ad…

VERY NICE. Will come in handy for my modern day MIB/Buffy/X-Files game. Yes, it will.

Not sure, I always made sure the block for emailing was unchecked when I did GM only, and haven't done a Player Secret in a while.

Looks like email notifications may have stopped working again.
