Dynamic Character Sheets for Popular Systems
November 2010
It's doable but fiddly and a challenge. Certainly something I'd like a go at if I can get the time. The classification of a generic DST could be a problem though as each is given to a particular system. So it would only appear if someone chose "oth…

Is this post a response to a different thread?! I don't understand what idea you are trying to discuss.

Dynamic Character Sheets for Popular Systems

Sounds like a possible idea. Although to be properly generic a DST is not as customisable as the current wiki crunch section for characters. Problems arise in layout with a "generic" DST. It's fine to have variables for section names so anyone c…

A problem I've just noticed with DSTs is that the variables currently aren't exported when you backup your campaign. So - something to keep in mind.

[Feature Request] Browse Campaigns by Genre
November 2010
Meh - crowdsource it. Tagging is already in place it wouldn't take much effort to turn it into a folksonomy. Genres have never been in any kind of authority- libraries differ from each other, almost to as much an extent as bookstores and video…

The "backup your campaign" XML exporter for OP should also export the dynamic sheet variables. Currently it doesn't.

Question About Sourcing in the Wiki Pages
November 2010
edited November 2010
I tend to use wikipedia and wikimedia or created art for my campaign, which is public domain. However being a librarian with ILL experience I recommend the following- Ask the owner of the website how they wish to be credited. In general when …

Has the sheet been submitted and approved? Otherwise you're only seeing the "editor's version" which lets you view your new sheet, but doesn't otherwise interact with OP.

Props -Coins or Tokens

On a side note - I recently joined a friends Starblazer campaign which uses the FATE system, and I've designed individual fate point counters for each player, based on what their character is. I'm getting them printed on round playing cards by "Art…

Obsidian Portal API discussion
November 2010
I'd like an API that I can query with a chron job to check for revisions of an OP campaign and be able to create an offsite mirror that includes revision history. A workaround for the currently lack or revision history. Which would also lead to ha…

I'm a bit upset about it as it is "almost a standard":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki for a wiki. Really, OP should change the usage of the word to "editable pages" so folk don't get confused into thinking the site does have the functionality ass…

I'd like to see some standard wiki features implemented into OP to make it suitable for collaborative work (ie what a wiki is for). Aside for storing histories of changes made (which I had until now thought mandatory for something to be defined a…

Formatting Question: Characters/Forums/Maps/Comments
November 2010
Ah yes, it has been talked about "in other posts":http://forums.obsidianportal.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=1586&page=1#Item_5 . Short answer is - no. You'll have to add it manually to every page.

You can format them in textile - or do you mean an overall template that changes the whnole section?

On a side note, I may work on a Starblazer sheet for the FATE system in the near future (depending on whether I can get the GM to start using OP or not)

Ideas for Gladiator Games
October 2010
Often arena battles were staged performances of famous historical battles and victories. If there are battles in the PC's past or the setting background that the Big Bad would be familiar with - they could re-enact them on a smaller scale.

It varies on how busy the programmers are with other tasks that may have higher priority in my experience. Sometime same day, sometimes a week.

I'm in favour of Smarties, M&Ms or Skittles for these as well. Edible gives the added metagaming dilemma of - "eat or use, eat ... or ... use/// " Although sultanas, raisins or nicer kinds of nuts (cashews, pistachio etc) could be used as well…

Persistent identifiers is what we need for images! On a side note, you'd need a website rather than an image storage site - are there any free ones available anymore?

We can't delete an existing image and upload one with the same name? Anyhow, this goes along with the idea of CSS and includes and may need regulation. If you want the same menu on every page, one of the programmers will have to create a specifi…
