in Custom JavaScript March 2022

There was a small bug where the popup (saying Custom JavaScript is being used on the Campaign) was showing up on the next page the visitor went to. This is fixed now.

in What would Aleita do to her former adopted parents upon learning shes the countries rightful queen? March 2022

Detect Lie could work, but as soon as one noble is caught trying to game the system, the next noble trying to do it would try to find a way around Detect Lie. Plausible deniability? If I was the queen, I'd say they don't get the reward if the child…

in player characters on the side of the front page March 2022

Do you want me to show you how to do this (aka give you the code ...)? : ) I think it will be pretty straight forward, and you would just need to update the HTML in the code to show the characters you want. And I can help you do that too if that …

in What would Aleita do to her former adopted parents upon learning shes the countries rightful queen? March 2022

Ha! That's an interesting twist. Is there something she could do to help the other children that are not getting adopted from the orphanages? Could other noble houses that adopt a child also be given some benefit? The danger would be that the ado…

in What would Aleita do to her former adopted parents upon learning shes the countries rightful queen? March 2022

It's an interesting idea, but I don't actually understand Aleita's reasoning there. The male or female child didn't have any choice in the matter, so male or female, it doesn't make sense to punish the child?

in Why would such a person become A Adventurer? March 2022

"Why would such a person become A Adventurer?" There are wealthy people today that go out and risk their lives and wealth. Musk was already wealthy from the sale of PayPal, and then nearly went bankrupt launching rockets, but (according to him) he …

in What would Aleita do to her former adopted parents upon learning shes the countries rightful queen? March 2022

Why did the nobles adopt a daughter and plan to give her their blood? Wouldn't their name then die out as soon as she was married? If they had this option at all, why not choose a male heir? (Daughters are great ... I'm just looking at this from …

in player characters on the side of the front page March 2022

You're going to need more than just CSS here because there's data you want to show (the secondary Characters) that doesn't exist on the page. The way I would do this is using the Custom JavaScript. I'd look at the source of the page and copy the HTM…

in Filtered Links March 2022

Thanks for the request! Makes sense. And a number of people have asked for pages to display "factions", so I could see tagging each member of a faction, and then using a url that filters to just those tags as the "faction page". I've added it to t…

in How to stop Erinns 1,296 strong Private Army being a type of instant win button? March 2022

What about character assassination? Turn the army against Erinn by spreading rumors, or tricking Erinn into actually doing something that some majority of the army would find distasteful. Maybe showing that Erinn somehow sold them out, or sent the…

in Checkboxes not working for me March 2022

Not a waste of time at all. In this case, it looks like there's a bug in the csx_edit function that grabs ANY field with a "dsf" and treats it as a textbox ... even "dsf checkbox". I'll contact chainsaw and see if he can add a "not checkbox" to th…

in Embedding a Cameo Video March 2022 edited March 2022

Oh wow ... this is awesome!!! How much did this cost? Did you write the lines for him? The way I would do this is play the whole video, and then at the end it offers 4 options. The one all the way to the right is "Download". Then take the downloa…

in What do you think of what Erinns players had Erinn do? March 2022

Sounds like a cool way for the two PCs to support each other and work together!

in How would Delphini, Nina and Kai react to Erinn buying slaves?, after all they were once slaves March 2022

I could see a "rationalization" either way ... If Erinn doesn't buy them, then those specific slaves will be bought by someone else that could be meaner to them than Erinn would be. If Erinn does buy them, then Erinn is perpetuating the market for a…

in Character Image enhancements March 2022

I'll add a "basic cropping image editor" to our list to investigate, but it sounds like a larger feature. In the meantime, have you considered just using the cropped thumbnail image as the "Character Image", so it will show as the thumbnail and on t…

in how do i make a link open a new tab? March 2022

Yes, it looks like adding noopener could fix this for most browsers. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Link_types/noopener Actually it looks like most browsers now implicitly add noopener for target _blank links ... though Opera is…

@Frak_Lou_Elmo, I just added you to the Custom JavaScript beta feature, so you can try this out now if you like.

in How does your group handle food at the table? March 2022

Does the club serve food itself? I would have thought they would "frown" on "outside food"? Or am I misunderstanding what a club is?

in how do i make a link open a new tab? March 2022

You're not doing anything wrong. That would be exactly the way to do this ... if there wasn't a catch. : ) The "_blank" target can be used to hack a visitor's computer, so OP removes it from the generated HTML after you click Save. If you "inspe…

in Rowspan and Colspan attributes on tables March 2022

13 years old, wow!! @jodie, rowspan and colspan should now work. You'll need to Edit and then re-Save any pages that already try to use the attributes, but you don't need to make any changes. Just Saving again will regenerate the HTML. Let me kno…

@cgregory, @nuadaria, you should both now have access to the Custom JavaScript window in your Campaign Settings Advanced tab. Let me know if you have any questions or come across any issues!

in How angry would The Imperium and Hierate be? March 2022

If the GM wants to make it something, then she could have the Imperium start wondering where the ships are just as a routine inventory check. Or maybe something happened near one of the ships' last known coordinates and the Imperium is trying to rea…

@Keryth987, no effect on the existing in page JavaScript ... of which you are the only one that has that ability. : ) No one else ever asked to be included in that. This new Custom JavaScript is a completely separate feature, and the JavaScript f…

in In-text DM only notes March 2022

I think you can do this with the Custom JavaScript now. The way I might try it is to make the notes down in the GM Only section, and have some "structure" to them that pairs a "phrase" in the main body of the document with the notes you want for yo…
