in What should my GM friend do? January 2022

All sounds good to me, but of course, it's your game, so whatever you want to do is all that matters. : ) I'm sure there are tons of other "origin stories" that y'all could come up with for why/how the group is already friendly to each other. "T…

in Items section question January 2022

Welcome back! It's been a couple months since that post went up, and you are the lone voice requesting the update posts continue, so I think we're pausing those for now. : ) But for larger features that would be something you would "try out", we'l…

As a GM, this is a problem that I make the Players solve. They each have to come up with the reason that their PC is friendly (possibly even devoted) to each of the other PCs. That way, they are the ones that have to make it work, rather than tryi…

The reason to give the PCs the "warning" as opposed to just having the NPCs take the items is that it's going to be more fun for the PCs to play with the items. But if they can't be public about them, then that puts a limit on the usages of the mag…

The GM could have one of the 200 people be a corrupt adviser that is building up their own criminal organization inside of the bigger one by skimming and also getting rid of anyone in the organization that is loyal to the PC ... probably by sending …

From the perspective of the GM, this just seems like lots of nice plot hooks to play with. : ) I'd treat this as a "double edged sword". Yeah, the PC has lots of resources, but those resources are also a large draw for dangerous opponents. If the…

What is the GM concerned about? The other Players?

Occurred to me that the Edit form is just a url, so if you did want it at the bottom of the pages, you could hide the current Edit icons with CSS, and then put an HTML link with a class at the bottom of each of your Wiki Pages, and then style them u…

I'm not sure why the "Front Page" and the Wiki Pages were originally given different ways to get to the Edit screens. The "Front Page" is special because it is the landing page for the Campaign, and so has additional parts on there like the GM and …

@Abersade, yeah, I totally agree this forum software could be better in the comment editing mode. I've got "find better forum software" on the todo list, but it doesn't currently have a high priority.

Have you tried the Accordion javascript insert? Something like this ... [accordion] [accordion-item] [title] Spoiler [end-title] [content] The hobbit has the ring and is trying to throw it in your volcano! [end-content] [end-accordion-it…

@ragnarhawk Ack! You're right, that method won't work for logged in pages. And, yeah, for some reason it's skipping the Navigation. Implementing explicit Localization is a bit of a bear, since you have to go find every possible word that could be …

Hola! : ) Have you tried using Google Translate? For example, here's a Campaign in English: https://startrekadventureslaurelsofvictory.obsidianportal.com/ And here's the same Campaign converted to Spanish: https://startrekadventureslaurelsofvictory…

in Why would such a person become A Adventurer? November 2021

The first motivation that comes to mind is as a cure for boredom. Could also be to prove himself worthy of his followers. Or you could make up a background like Athos's where he had a terrible event happen with a love interest and basically ran away…

@Dropbeartots, done! Adding a new Game System is no trouble at all. Feel free to request whenever. @seanbyram, thanks for the request! We have a backend admin form where we just enter the name, url for the game system, and upload a logo file, and…

in 1 question about very powerful friends in Shadows Over Boghafen October 2021

Again, not familiar with these specific modules, but if the adversary is intentionally trying to frame the PCs, then the adversary might have planned for these known resources of the PCs. In today's terms, maybe the adversary is "canceling" the PCs …

in What should I do version 2? October 2021

I'm not familiar with these particular modules, but in general, I would look for ways to create adversaries that are at the same or higher societal level from the PCs that would counter the PCs' influence. For example, another slightly higher noble…

Welcome back to the tabletop, Cirque0011! On the Campaigns page, there is a "Filter Campaigns by:" dropdown that has a selection of "Looking for Players". Then you can also filter by the system you want by clicking the "All Systems" button and expa…

Secretary - at their desk, in "lost and found", they might have just about anything. And probably also any item that any other "class" might have (because they have been asked to go get it or bring it somewhere or keep it for a short bit). Also mu…

I don't think I've seen that UI interaction in practice before. Do you have an example of somewhere else that you've seen it done well where I can try it out? Alternatively, this won't work on a phone/tablet, but with the mouse, if you hover over t…

@siebgamer, that is super tempting. We're going to discuss on the next dev call and see if that might make sense at this point or not.
