@Abersade, the parsing of the code snippets should be fixed now. I added some JavaScript a while back to fix the parsing ... but I had only targeted it at code snippets for HTML and JavaScript. I changed it just now to be for all "code" tags. Inst…

in Could Schizophrenia allow A Pc to unknowingly also be the campaigns true and final villain? May 15

@neqis, thats all great background. Thanks for providing it! It also kind of highlights another reason I would lean away from a medical issue toward something that has a game mechanic attached to it ... the Players might know more than the GM abou…

in GMs, suggest some good "how to GM" books? May 14

@Abersade, thanks for that recommendation. I cobbled together a fair collection of those supplemental books for 2nd Edition, but I don't think I ever got this one. @twiggyleaf, ha ... good thing you said not to ask! Those Kobold Press ones are on …

You might also take a look at "Kallak's Pathfinder 2E (mobile/tablet friendly)" DST. https://www.obsidianportal.com/dynamic_sheet_templates/374 It has some dynamically added sections.

Thanks for the tip on Angry GM! Turns out he does have a book: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/280384/Game-Angry-How-to-RPG-The-Angry-Way +1 on the 4e DMG ... just knowing about the existence of the "Watcher" player type explained so much of t…

in Could Schizophrenia allow A Pc to unknowingly also be the campaigns true and final villain? May 13

14 levels seems like a really long time for the PC not to notice any gaps in time/memory. I think you would need a ready repeatable explanation for why the Character had those gaps in time/memory. Maybe the alternate personality has convinced the …

in How do I stop my cousin in law doing the daftest thing I've ever heard anyone do in DAD? May 13

What if they played the Campaign as "slapstick"? Then these kind of assumptions and misunderstandings would fit right in. On the other hand, if they wanted to play it serious, this could still work if there wasn't much communication across the land…

in Could Schizophrenia allow A Pc to unknowingly also be the campaigns true and final villain? May 12

I don't see why you couldn't make that work logistically. But, I'd lean toward doing this with a possession or a curse (similar to Lycanthropy) or a cursed magic item, versus a mental issue with the Character. The reason is that with one of the ot…

@Dropbeartots, added! https://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns?game_system_id=346 I also edited the name of the existing "Earthdawn" to be "Earthdawn 4e" since that's what the logo says. https://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns?game_system_id=99

Looks like I need to make a tweak to the code to handle that scenario of differentiating between Menu Items by just the query string.

Thanks for the request! I like this idea ... I have WAY too many Campaigns in my list mostly due to testing ... but I also go back to those test Campaigns sometimes. I don't want to add more UI for this than is needed. What if we just had a max of …

I'm not the best at CSS, but here's my take on this ... The definition of "cover" says: cover: Resize the background image to cover the entire container, even if it has to stretch the image or cut a little bit off one of the edges So, when your page…
