Now with media examples! " You could roleplay him as hardened against his emotions, maybe even choking back tears as he does each action and step of the plan, apologizing the whole way ... he knows what he needs to do and that no one else is going…

Assuming that you are an Ascendant member the following snippets and explanations may be helpful as well: https://abersade-testbed.obsidianportal.com/wikis/css-help-main-hub

Directions, though this assumes that you are an Ascendant member: 1. From your campaign frontpage: Left-click on settings (in the left side navigation bar), this takes you to the campaign dashboard page. 2. Left-click on the Advanced settings tab,…

in How does your group handle food at the table? February 24

Fun fact: The first "candy dish" that we used for the games was one of the cardboard tombstones that you can pick up at places like Target around Halloween. It screamed when you opened it.

in How does your group handle food at the table? February 24

My group has gone through a few methods. Initially the DM always provided the snacks and drinks. Snacks were generally candy or chips, that sort of thing. Drinks were Mountain Dew and etc. Then I switched jobs, taking one that paid 19% less. Due …

Ooh, Dark Sun. Good stuff that. When I want different I tend to go the homebrew route.

in GMs, why do you think your Players play TTRPGs instead of MMORPGs? February 17 edited February 17

Heck, I'd almost argue the point that as a primarily combat focused system D&D editions prior to 5 might even discourage creative solutions due to a perceived lack of efficiency. Why try to drop barrels of burning pitch when a fireball scroll wi…

in GMs, why do you think your Players play TTRPGs instead of MMORPGs? February 17

@Thaen I guess I'm not really understanding the question. I'll take a crack at answering what I think you are asking at any rate. When I played AD&D the system was limited enough that on-the-fly adjudication of actions that weren't spelled out e…

in GMs, why do you think your Players play TTRPGs instead of MMORPGs? February 16

@Thaen I can't speak for the specifics regarding my son's game as I'm not part of it. That said, there are a number of dragons in the game that line up with several (Red, Bronze, Green, Black, and several others that could serve as stand ins) of the…

in GMs, why do you think your Players play TTRPGs instead of MMORPGs? February 14

Personally I would find running a game in an MMO in this fashion far too limiting, mainly because I couldn't adjust anything engine-wise. I think it would work great though if everyone just wanted to roleplay as the heroes of Azeroth or something, w…

in GMs, why do you think your Players play TTRPGs instead of MMORPGs? February 14

"Shiny rocks go click clack." To actually answer your inquiry though, the level of dynamicism available when a game has a human "at the wheel" far exceeds what is available in any MMO at this time. Things get a bit trickier to answer when one consid…

in Removing Box on Main Page January 27 edited January 27

Just to be clear, a workaround isn't in itself a solution. I'd rather identify the issue that is causing Chrome to fail to load the background image completely and work towards a real solution. That said; I'm no web developer and thus lack most of t…

Small update regarding this question: I saw RigilKent's question on Discord today and worked with him to fashion a workaround which "should" prevent this from being visible. Due to the error being on the browser side of the fence reproducing the iss…

Agreed, I generally make a point of reading posts pertaining to status updates. Always fun to get a glimpse of what's on the horizon. It also allows me to plan accordingly when planning updates to push out on my campaign pages and what I tell my pla…

After adding that code, should be able to fiddle with it to hide the original icon and to display a picture that looks like the edit button from the main page. A bit more fiddling would be able to center it. Not EXACTLY the same thing but fairly clo…

This should be a good starting point: .campaign-public-layout.wiki-page-show .header-icon { bottom: 0; position: fixed; height: 35px; z-index: 150;}

Eh, this is the best I can come up with since CSS doesn't support onclick events. https://abersade-testbed.obsidianportal.com/wikis/a-different-test CSS looks like so: /* Spoiler Fun! */ ul.spoiler{list-style: none;} .spoiler li{max-height:35px; ov…

in Would my idea work? August 2021

This is a viable solution, and combat noise would be an easy enough way to explain why the groups keep showing up. I'm of the opinion that as a DM/GM you should have a good enough grasp on the combat mechanics of the game you are running in order to…
