I pulled your mistake on the C's earlier! (Accidentally deleted whole page) luckily, I had the original document I'm using for the text, but still, lots of reformatting. Try to get D up tonight. Want some more stuff too. EDIT: Er, that was gnunn.…

You don't have to be! Feel free to poke and prod. I'm just hoping it comes out well. I'm trying to do a dictionary now to set up a template, and it's a bit on the rough side.

I mean, it's a different method, this is to be basic generic information, freely useable in multiple campaigns and systems, or whatnot.

The one I got the idea from was "Encyclopedia Yggdraversica":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/andyverse and I thought Cyberpunk could use something like that. Also figured it would be fun. I wouldn't see why a Lovecraftian or Space Opera styl…

Try the second code, with your chopped image, and place the ! media tag where the content goes with your written image. You might also try cutting the borders off of your image with the text, and dropping the padding just a bit.

in Background Images Revisited July 2010

It looks like you're using an image in there. I'd try to resize the image smaller, to fit in the background. You can seat more images in there, just fiddle the code around here and there, change the positioning of various things. Remember that you c…

in Background Images Revisited July 2010

So you know Gwyddion, the second code above is what I use for the formatting for most of my wiki, it comes out basically like "this":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/intothebreach/wikis/the-10-commandments The first code is likely more what…

Hey hey, I miss the boat, darned real life keeps interfering.

in Background Images Revisited July 2010

Not sure what exactly you're asking, is the parchment a single image or it is made up of three images, -top -middle -bottom? ChainsawXIV helped me with a monitor graphic, which was split into a top part, middle part and bottom part, placed with H…

Also added my own info. Good feature that it's customizable.

in Ad&d 2nd edition- does anyone still play it???? July 2010 edited July 2010

Jasonias, 4chan is like a conglomeration of the best and worst the internet has to offer. It's an image board, fairly famous actually, with boards dedicated to various subjects from cooking, music, traditional games, and a few more adult oriented bo…

in Ad&d 2nd edition- does anyone still play it???? July 2010

Actually Idabrius, all of our group frequents there, just figured I'd put the standard warning out. 4chan has some positively brilliant stuff pop up from time to time, but it's got the low end stuff in spades. Also much trollface.jpg

in A Couple of Nominations for August July 2010

I think we may have hit on something. Theory: OP staff waits for Arsheesh to make his nominations, gives it until the end of the month, then flips a coin.

in Ad&d 2nd edition- does anyone still play it???? July 2010

Idabrius, why would you ever willingly subject anyone to the fa/tg/uys over at 4chan?
JimTriche
in A Couple of Nominations for August July 2010

The only problem I have with Arsheesh's choices is that there's never an obvious choice! Both of these have long been in my favorites list.

Haha, I had my players in a surreal shared dream sequence where they were in the Gourd. Xanth rocks mah sox.

in Dealing with Dangerous Encounters & PC Death in Your Campaign July 2010

Just one from me. If a player is genuinely playing his character well, I never let a random die roll kill him unless what he's tried to do would genuinely pose a huge danger to the character (like 99%+ mortality). If he's jumping out of a 15 foot hi…

No other ideas at the moment, but Mr. Volkmer has given me an idea for Shadowrun... Karma Bank!

in Dealing with Dangerous Encounters & PC Death in Your Campaign July 2010 edited July 2010

Oh and to actually answer your question, I tend to reward the player as I go, depending on if they actually roleplay the fight or just toss dice out. For example. Let's say we have a quick encounter. I have a Security Guard who's just shot at a…

in Dealing with Dangerous Encounters & PC Death in Your Campaign July 2010

Our group plays Shadowrun as you know, and it tends to be lethal on it's own. My players sometimes gripe if they have time invested, but it's part of the game. Sometimes we'll appease them by having a funeral or something like that. As far as mak…

Frank, I've seen it before. Not here (I don't think) but over at Bungie.net I've seen people that registered 30 or more names, just to troll. Not sane at all.

in Textile help... July 2010

Er, well, the forum doesn't allow you to change the background, but you can try the code out on a wiki page, or on "this site":http://www.textism.com/tools/textile/index.php

Should result in the center column in a blue color as well as the second and fourth rows. You have to add the style tag to each cell unfortunately, but with a bit of effort it will work. table{width:600px;border 1px solid white;font-family:verda…

in Textile help... July 2010

OK, this is the look you're attempting (a column of a different color) Textile does the rows easy, as only one code is needed for the row at the beginning regardless of cells. For columns, you have to manually count off the cells and put the code…

in privacy settings for PCs? July 2010

Unfortunately, there is no such way at the moment. The GM should keep that info on the GM only sections, and said player should keep a note on their sheet or in their personal records. I'd definitely support the feature, even if it had to be limited…

in Textile help... July 2010

Fluke, I'm not sure but I think you have to manually enter the background on each cell. Gnunn is the Textile guru here though, maybe he has an easier way?

in How do you do, OP? July 2010

Welcome welcome! As far as a graphic style, I'd say go with a really flashy banner of some sort then work the HTML and textile around a theme that matches. Your campaign is set modern so you have a ton to choose from. Click view source often, and se…
