in How would a very poor lower class family react to 1 of its members being elevated to the nobility March 25

Honestly.... it really depends on who your characters family is? A younger sister for example is likely to have a very different view to their great-great-great aunts cousin. So without knowing who the family is, or some more information about wha…

in How would a very poor lower class family react to 1 of its members being elevated to the nobility March 18

Yep, so if I was the DM I'd be thinking about if any nobles hated the PC enough to act on it? I'd also be thinking about how others would see them - I could see people who knew that character in life talking about how they 'sold out' by accepting th…

in New to ... life in general March 16

Hi, sorry I didn't see this earlier as I only joined late last year! I'm glad your recovering from your crash and if you want a comedic gothic horror adventure to follow my campaign takes some of the biggest bads from DND and traps them in Ravenloft…

in How would a very poor lower class family react to 1 of its members being elevated to the nobility March 13

Ah social dynamics! So class conflicts are 'complicated' and a lot depends on your characters choices as to if they value 'wealth and position' or are using this to help others. If the character used their position to help 'rise up' people of their …

in Roughly how smart is A Human Magic User with A Int of 18 and A Wis of 3 March 13

I like the Tomato analogy for explaining statistics: Strength is being able to crush a tomato. Dexterity is being able to dodge a tomato. Constitution is being able to eat a bad tomato. Intelligence is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is kn…

in ChatGPT-enhanced content generation March 5

So from a writer/programmer perspective AI is actually really expensive/complex and somewhat.. legally problematic. However there are plenty of great pre-existing tools that help you flesh out a campaign or even randomly generate stuff for it. If yo…

in I'm sure this has probably been requested before, but the ability to upload our character sheets March 1

OMG! IT works perfectly! Could you ask your lovely dev team to add 'or PDF' to the media embed button description so people know this feature exists? - might be worth noting it in the 'features' too so people use it :)

in I'm sure this has probably been requested before, but the ability to upload our character sheets February 25

I also use DNDBeyond and it might help if we had a way to upload and view PDFs? That way people can export their characters from DNDBeyond or whatever character creator they like. All the dev's would need to do is copy the current 'embed image' but…

in Adventure Log with Multi-line subtitles February 24

Could I suggest a much easier solution? - instead of trying to use code you could use the Post subtitle for the date and Tags for location - setting it up like the below: This will give you this > https://themaintimeline.obsidianportal.com/adven…

Ah I see what's happened - you applied the permissions to the wrong campaign! Could you please apply it to my Domain of Dread Council Meeting campaign :)

in Public Campaign Forum Topics Beta Information February 10

Humm nope, doesn't work for me. - no checkbox appearing on new topic or edit topic. However I'm thinking maybe it would be better if the permissions could be applied at the Forum/Subforum level as it's a bit odd for forums to have 'per forum thread'…

in Fanclub Permissions to let non-players see spoilers February 7

Thanks! I could see it working really well if the devs change the current 'Become a Fan' option to have two buttons, one for 'Become a Fan' and the other: 'Join Campaign' - as per my previous request. Then the DM can review/approve the requests - w…

Interesting! Could I please have access as we use the Forum for a couple of in-game items and spells :)

Eeep!..... um I mean thank you! :D

in Iframes January 30

I'd err away from encouraging use of iframes as they can open sites up to 'cross site scripting' XSS attacks and can really mess with the usability of websites as you can't use css or control what appears in the framed 3rd party webpage. Was there…

in This gets worse and worse. What should my GM friend do this time? January 20

Well you could ask the same of most elves in DND.. why if you live almost forever would you risk death by adventuring? In the case of my High Elf who ran away from a similar future the answer was simple - she was bored! She found the duties of rulin…

in Was the Pc that's A Future King right to arrange for 1 Domain to be given to each of the other Pcs January 3

Honestly..if your DM is happy with the idea I don't see a problem in terms of rules as it could open a ton of interesting political drama. The real challenge is going to be politics as if you've ever seen Game of Thrones being set to inherit the thr…

in What to do with A Npc that was intended to be a 1-off villain? December 2022

There's a old joke that a CR1 Noble can be more dangerous if insulted then a Red Dragon. The key question is what is to stop your Noble HIRING the main villain to take out the party - or do whatever it was you originally planned them to do? This way…

in Search Limiters December 2022

All your GM only pages are listed in the Secrets section if you have a active Ascendant subscription. It's also got a flag to tell you if you've made a page that's unread - which is super handy - eg. here's a example of Domains of Dread I haven't go…

Chrome has this by default - Click on the CSS area and do CTRL+F to bring up the search bar. Type in your search term it will have a up and down arrow next to the number of times it shows up: Clicking DOWN does 'find next' occurrence and clicking …

in What should my mate do in his custom made Harry Potter/Dnd Cross-Over RPG November 2022 edited November 2022

Humm .... My advice? Embrace the chaos! First up know the 'hard limits' on the setting/world. A classic one with the Time Turners is that its Canon that they are very rare, the Ministry of Magic apparently has a stash of them but it was a huge deal…

in Glitch in the Campaign Log - keeps repeating the same paragraph. November 2022

Thanks thaen! Sounds like the thing to do might be to raise it to Textile as a bug in their system. I'll fix up the page now that we know what's behind it. Thanks again everyone for you're help :)

in Glitch in the Campaign Log - keeps repeating the same paragraph. November 2022 edited November 2022

Interesting! I'm still trying to make sense of the 'quirks' in textile as it seems a bit 'twitchy' when it comes to formatting. I'll leave this broken so that others can fiddle and dig into it further - as the last thing they need is someone trigger…

in New Section in Characters for "Deceased" November 2022

I agree being able to flag a character as 'dead' is a very useful feature! But moreso we need ways to 'group' characters on the character screen by more then just PC/NPC as my list is already getting very long and the tag's don't automatically filte…

in Players Need a Button to 'Join Campaign' and DM's need 'Invite Players via URL' November 2022

Thanks Vanillabean! I did notice that, alas we've been playing remotely for years using Roll20/Discord so I don't actually know my players email addresses. Right now I'm struggling to get though to my players that Obsidan Portal is for ALL of them t…

in DST Requests November 2022

Hi Everyone, firstly thank you for making these - just a (hopefully) relatively simple request, does anyone have a DST to neatly show DND 5e MONSTER/NPC stat blocks? Not that I'm accusing my party of being monsters...buuut.. when Strahd and Vecna ar…
