in `concat()` in JS blocked by Cloudflare. June 2022

Thanks for posting these! Sorry I'm only just now seeing them. The Bug Reports category had been archived for some reason, so it wasn't showing up in the list of "unread posts" that I usually check. It's now un-archived, so it shows up in that li…

"JS is a weird, weird beast!" - Agreed! In the Sources tab ... top / inovertheirheads.obsidianportal.com / assets In there the first file is "application-[a bunch of characters].js". Make sure to click the "{}" down at the bottom near the "Line" and…

@JayDoubleA, well, I have good news and bad news. : ) The good news is that it worked right off the bat for me when I opened the accordion ... so at least some people are seeing your Campaign as you intended. The bad news is I don't know why it d…

@Abersade, @JayDoubleA, the banners should now be linked as Abersade suggested ... banner image links back to the campaign home site if you are viewing the front end, and back to the dashboard if you are viewing the back end. Let me know if you see…

@JayDoubleA, can you post an example page of the issue you're seeing?

@Abersade, I played with this a little more and I think I have CSS that will work now. And I think I know what you were referring to with the "back end" part.

@JayDoubleA, thanks for that suggestion. We've done the "just add a checkbox on the Advanced Settings tab" thing for a few features ... but I think it clutters up the UI, and I don't really want to keep adding more and more checkboxes for these kin…

That said, I personally think it would be pretty great if the banner image just linked back to the campaign home site if you are viewing the front end, and back to the dashboard if you are viewing the back end. @Abersade, I looked into this idea .…

@Dropbeartots, added! https://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns?game_system_id=347 Yeah, I couldn't find a transparent one either. And I have zero talent with image editing. I clipped the one I used there from one of their books, so that will do f…

@marczulet, are you still seeing an issue? Does it happen with any file or just a specific file? Can you share the Campaign where the issue is happening?

@Dropbeartots, is this the HOSTILE game? https://www.paulelliottbooks.com/hostile.html

@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 2022

@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…

@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 2022

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 2022

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 2022

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
