Announcement: New Ascendant Sign-up Promotion
September 2018
I, too, am cheered by the renewed action of the PTB and especially all the work Kallak's been doing. I was in the same boat as some of the others--in the process of moving all my work to another platform. I've put that on pause for now because of th…

Nominate COTM Here!
June 2018
Thanks for the nomination and kind words! We've been working on the campaign for five-and-a-half years and we are really enjoying it. Things are starting to head into the "end game" now as the players approach level 20. It's not the fanciest site, b…

[Blog] Tabletop Tidbits Thread
May 2018
Loved the blog. This is so true. My "gaunt Brad Pitt" was a local noble named Lord Peyton. He was a patron for the characters and hired one of the PCs to tutor his son in sword play. Soon, when wanting to visit the man, they would say they want to g…

One of my players is getting the same message when they try to send PMs to me. I've submitted a ticket.

Whatcha working on?
February 2017
I'm still running my long-running Shadows of the Rift campaign. My primary Dresden Files: Portland campaign died, but I'm running my wife through some Side Jobs in the same setting. I also play a Dresden Files/Fate Core game with a group in Oklahoma…

Community Forum Software Update
July 2016
The new forums look great. Quite the surprise when I logged in today. I'll be honest--I'm just posting so I can see what my signature looks like

Fudging Rolls
February 2016
I don't fudge rolls terribly often, because a lot of times I try to ask myself "Why am I rolling here anyway?" If a bad die roll would have gotten in the way of the action, why roll it in the first place, ya know? Sometimes it could have made things…

Favorite / Most-hated Creatures and Foes
February 2016
Goblins are kind of my go-to, though as the characters increase in level they get more and more pointless. I absolutely hate gnomes, so they do not exist in my campaign world. As a player, I hate seeing wights coming my way (level-sucking cr…

Hello from Texas
December 2015
Hi Lxcharon, I'm in Texas, too--up in Denton. I think you'll enjoy Obsidian Portal. It has its quirks (especially right now), but is still a really useful tool for recording your campaign. Good luck on finding new players. Ketherian has gi…

Add the "Items" to the main page

There is a check box under Settings --> Advanced that lets you do that. Go to Settings, then go to the Advanced tab. Under the stuff about the Markup Parcer is a checkbox that says "Show Items Section (Not Recommended)". Click this check box t…

Mine comes from the old novelty song "Pencil Neck Geek by Classy Freddie Blassie":https://youtu.be/JNM4atakanI. When I was younger I was a very small and underweight--a classic example of the moniker. And I'm still a geek, so I go with it. It's also…

[Announcement] Obsidian Portal - management team update (Aug 2015)
August 2015
I've been with Obsidian Portal for quite a while now (since 2010), but pretty much just lurk on the forums. The past year, year and a half have been pretty bleak. But this community has continued to come together and tried to make the best of a bad …

What system have you NOT played yet?
June 2015
I've been really curious about Deadlands and about Aces & Eights. I have both but haven't gotten my group as interested in them as I seem to be. I've also been intrigued with the idea of doing a superhero campaign with the FATE Core rules.

Obsidian Portal Launch Feedback
May 2015
According to their Facebook page, they're loading new hardware and anticipate things to be smooth "in a few hours". That was about 7 hours ago. It does seem to be evening out a little, at least for me, right now.

What's your geek cred?
May 2015
I only possess a modicum of cred. I'm 41. I started back in the 1980s with the D&D Red Box set and soon graduated to a group playing 1st edition AD&D. I've since run AD&D (1st and 2nd Edition), Vampire: The Masquerade, Star Frontiers, Ta…

The "Review my Campaign" thread
February 2015
Phoenix Rising is looking great (as usual)! I did notice that each of the individual dramatis personae pages veered to the right on my tablet. They may be missing a at the end. Other than that, things are looking good! --Pencilneckgeek "Shado…

Several Campaigns, on Group
February 2015
I've got a similar situation in my Pathfinder campaign where I have the main campaign and two different "sidestories" or sub-campaigns set in the same world. I have subsections in my wiki for those two sidestories to keep track of characters and cha…
