  in The "Review my Campaign" thread August 2016

  @falloutmind 1. Your main page needs some content, a quick summary or plot hook would do really. You want something there since it is the first page that nearly everyone viewing your campaign will see. 2. I love the content in your Episode One In-De…

  Well, posting a link would be a great start. Here it is btw: https://horror-on-the-orient-express-6.obsidianportal.com/ I like the Adventure Logs, they are quite informative. You should probably update your main wiki page to remove the default text …

  For those who are interested: I have created a CSS Overview page (I still have a bit to do with this one), a General page (covering CSS code that affects everything), and a left navigation bar page (CSS that affects the left navigation bar). More t…

  in Another Gaming Poll August 2016

  My players post to the forum, update their character sheets, and update their journal entries (which essentially serve as individual adventure logs), sometimes they update the wiki but usually only if I ask them to. They are as active as they are du…

  in Your Gaming Group August 2016

  Our group has two GMs, myself and Obison (well, and a third who GM's but not for our group as of yet). Rise of the Durnskald has a single GM, me. There are two women in our group and five men, ages range from around mid-20's to I think around 40-45 …

  Have you tried a different color? I thought the save issue only affected the black map markers.

  in How to request a feature February 2016 edited February 2016

  I agree about the social media links. I'd like to have the option to put them in the favorite bar on the right side of the main campaign landing page and to disable them everywhere else. In the meantime: /* Social Media Buttons */ …

  in Character requests February 2016

  Generally Tags work in either an additive or subtractive manner; additive meaning that more results are shown as you add tags; subtractive meaning less results are shown as you add tags. It would be great if it worked in a subtractive manner (it doe…

  Thanks for that Andrew, the badges look great! EDIT: In campaign specific news I've changed up the main wiki page a bit to use the format that I was testing. My players seemed to like it, if any of you take a gander let me know what you think. I…

  in Cheating February 2016

  I fudge the rolls fairly frequently, specifically in favor of the monsters/npc's usually. Cryohydras are kind of a running gag in my games, they have yet to last more than a single round of combat (this has happened three times now), so they've been…

  HA! The tagline for our previous game was "It's not stupid, it's adventure!", they would have fit that description beautifully Basileus.

  in Favorite / Most-hated Creatures and Foes February 2016 edited February 2016

  Gelatinous Cubes, Slimes, and Oozes are among my absolute favorites. I'm known to break a rule here and there by adding class levels to really up the tension of the encounters. I tend to shy away from Ethereal Marauders and Ethereal Filchers, them s…

  in fantasy races January 2016

  I tend to play a human, dwarf, or halfling. I allow pretty much everything that doesn't have a level adjustment higher than +2, but it depends on the region of my setting that the game is starting in. I don't think my players are getting a choice…

  in religion and player interaction January 2016

  Religion is mostly inextricable from my setting, so much so that five of my six player's characters have very strong (and completely dissimilar) views. This is likely because in my setting all followers of a god receive certain benefits and drawback…

  in Levels of Magic vs Technology January 2016

  In my setting it basically depends on the region. Countries that contain intersecting magical leylines tend to rely more heavily on arcane magic and elementals, whereas Crinoa (a floating continent completely devoid of leylines) is more technologica…

  in Obsidian Portal Launch Feedback October 2015

  Honestly? I'd say marginally better. Take that with a grain of salt though because I didn't do much with my campaigns prior to the reforge, I had just started customizing things about two months beforehand. The reforge, of course, annihilated everyt…

  My username dates back twenty years as well, Abersade was the name I came up with for one of my first friendly NPC's in I think it was the second campaign I ran. He was a Druid/Wizard, I've used him in several campaigns since and he's even made a sh…
