in Character Levels March 2009

How's this for a solution? Each character has three radio buttons: Searchable, Customizable, and None: ( ) Searchable ( ) Customizable (*) None Searchable is how it is now, Customizable is how people have been requesting in this thread, an…

in [ FIXED ] Footnotes March 2009

I went back to some older pages, and when I tried to use the footnote anchors they all now point to "http://www.obsidianportal.com/#fn1" or "http://www.obsidianportal.com/#fn2" et cetera. These footnote anchors worked fine throughout 2008. Thi…

in Using this site for non-tabletop games? March 2009

I seem to recall while surfing the site sometime last year I stumbled across LARP and MUD campaigns on here. I think you should go for it. RP is RP, right?

Ditto.

in Sidebar March 2009

Sidebar continuity would be great. I'd especially like the home page sidebar which lists PCs to also have the tag sorting feature just like on the NPC page sidebar.

in Monsters March 2009

In every game system I've played which includes Monsters, they've always been considered NPCs by the game system. This never mattered whether it was "Gwjbfejkwa, the Aboleth of the Sea of Tears" or "half-elven gypsy sniper (x3)". If there are game…

The NPC tab already handles this. Sure, some NPCs are named characters, but most NPCs in a campaign are unnamed characters.

in Restricting Ability to Edit the Wiki March 2009

Another way to resolve the issue would be a quick "archive whole campaign to disk" feature. That way you could restore anything which a player accidentally erased.

in Mapping software. March 2009

I've heard nothing but good things about Campaign Cartographer, and considering its price that is not surprising. If you're not willing to spend that kind of money, a simpler mapping program that works great (and has a lot of free user-generated co…

in Monsters February 2009

Aren't monsters, pets, et cetera still NPCs? That's how I've always treated them. My players just treat familiars as other PCs for the campaign. The character image, description, and statitics make it clear whether a PC is a sorcerer or its famil…

in Who's going to GenCon? February 2009

That is what other start-ups do at GenCon. If it wasn't too costly I'd probably buy a shirt and wear it one day of the con (and other gaming cons) each year.

in Requests for new game systems February 2009

Thanks for adding Spycraft, Micah. Since they were requested, I’m expecting to see new campaigns in each of these systems, right? ;) Well, our GM uses Yahoo! Groups for our campaign and won't listen to reason about moving it here. But my char…

in Set privacy of a page? February 2009

I've been thinking about this feature request, and recently had what might be a solution, taking lerusius's idea and adapting it to match the existing technology. I admit I don't know how easy or hard to implement it might be. Pages currently have…

I would like to second Hawking's request for "Classic Spycraft":http://www.crafty-games.com/product_catalog/classicspycraft and "Spycraft 2.0":http://www.crafty-games.com/product_catalog/spycraft20 .

in Slew of simple ideas January 2009

I'm going to add my voice to FemmeLegion's. I use the entire page GM-only all of the time on items with which I'm not finished. I have also created pages ahead of time (on rare occassions) and did not want to make them public until the players had…

in Wiki counter? April 2008

bq. Come on now… no one is even a little interested to know? It would be a like a “hot or not” counter for your page :) Truth be told, I don't care either way. However, if you're going to do it make sure to do it right. For instance, events on …

in More Fiddly Stuff About Tags March 2008

bq. When I go to view an NPC page, it currently lists all of the Capitalized tags A-Z, then all of the uncapitalized tags. Since I don’t seem to be able to “re-capitalize” tags, it would really help me out to just have all the tags listed A-Z, regar…

in Premium Accounts Discussion March 2008

*RobJustice* said ( above )... bq. I don’t think it’d be that much of a hassle. I’d just register RobJustice001, RobJustice002, RobJustice003, etc, and bingo 6 campaigns. People go to great lengths to abuse free systems. Now, my example is a bit …

in Multiple GMs March 2008

bq. I think what I might do is delete the NPCs and remake them since I can oddly enough remove any NPC but I can’t edit them… Sadly that will make me have to go through and change all the links in the wikis… ugh. I’ll have to think about it. You'…

in Requests for new game systems March 2008

bq. In your request, please include a link to a page either describing the game system or a core rulebook or ruleset (for systems w/o actual books). That was Micah's request from the first post in this thread. And I'll reiterate it, because I'…

in GM-Only NPC Tags? March 2008

I, for one, would love that ability, too. As it is, I have to leave certain NPCs incompletely tagged for the same reasons. People with secret allegiences (or even secret races and classes in some instances) can't be completely tagged until al of t…

in Official discussion of wiki merging February 2008

I had a GM page merged so that it was Public but not flagged as GM-Only, but it was easily fixed and not something I was overly worried about my players seeing. Otherwise, everything looks good. Thank you for this most awesome of changes!

in How do I find items associated with a campaign February 2008

I, too, have found it easier to just create a "Campaign Items":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/chaos_out_of_order/wiki/campaign-web/campaign-items page in the party wiki. I've also created a "Campaign PCs":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campa…

in Official discussion of wiki merging February 2008

I love the idea of being able to flag wiki pages as GM only or not, that way I can create a wiki page long before the party knows of it, then when they've encountered the location, item, orangaization, or whatnot I can unflag it, keeping secret stuf…

in Comment Feature February 2008

bq. *Comment formatting* Currently, it’s possible to use most of the Textile/wiki/basic-html formatting. Bold, italics, images, and the like should work. The main thing missing (as already noted) is the ability to link to wiki pages. This has to …
Figment
in Comment Feature February 2008

bq. 3. How much formatting is possible in the comments? I haven’t tried yet myself, and even then, I only know a sparse amount of textile, so I would undoubtedly be missing a lot of things anyway. Well, textile formating for bold, italic, and web…

in Campaign Settings Category January 2008

bq. I agree, it makes far more sense to have 2 fields for this info rather than one. Plus it makes sense for settings to be unrelated to systems – I’ve played many a game where we were using the WEG Starwars D6 system in homebrew settings as well as…
Figment
in Campaign Settings Category January 2008

Currently campaigns have a name, URL-friendly name, tagline, game system, status, description, looking for players, and publish option. I'd like to see a new option between game system and status: setting. There are quite a few settings published…
