in Death of a player "Character" [no one was actually harmed in the making of this post] April 2012

i have to Second Wolfhound's comment. I thought you actually had one of your PLAYERS die. Hmmm best character death would be the first (not the last) death of Father (now Grand Master) John Furkes. Father Furkes was a aberration blooded human mo…

in Dresden Files RPG - Dallas April 2012

Had to share the fact that this last weekend I ate at a Texas BBQ place in Chinatown (D.C.) with a sign written in Chinese (D.C.), playing beach rock music, during the Japanese Cherry blossom festival. The mesh of all the different things just remin…

Since Beaumains resurrected this a bit I would just like to point out that it is still NOT fixed....although it is only a minor irritant -Jaymes "Changing History":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/l5r-changing-history

NOW I don't feel guilty about being nominated as A God...Rebuilt won COTM. I will gladly take May unless I run across something that totally kicks my site's butt (which I keep finding more and more of!). Thanks killer for the nomination and congrats…

in Replacing the standard Obsidian Portal top navigation bar March 2012

That makes sense. I hadn't decided if I was going to use the image replacing the nav bar yet anyways and this could be an interesting alternative. Thanks for all the work Kallak. -Jaymes "Changing History":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaig…

in A Cool Group Member Recruitment Aid March 2012

I just took the psych test for the Foreign Service Officer Test and these type of tests can be....difficult to really accurately portray what the person is like. I am just adding this as a warning although I do find the base idea a good one for inte…

in New Project: Adventure Time Inc. March 2012

Its all about center and southern California (man i miss home). Garan the idea looks promising and will be interesting how it goes. As for the legal part you can post a notice that says that by editing it the editor gives full permission to use the…

in Planning Games March 2012

In my group with have a couple different games a week under different GMs. Luckily our schedules are pretty fixed so games happen at the same specific time, day and place each week. But we do leave the responsibility of scheduling to each particular…

in Cellphones, laptops and other devices distracting from game March 2012

I agree with megavendon and the situation is quite similar. The players do "follow" the game and know what is going on when I call on them they just are not actively participating unless I or one of the other players actively engage with them. I mig…

in Cellphones, laptops and other devices distracting from game March 2012

Arsheesh & Robert: Luckily its not that bad. Its mostly playing phone games and they are mostly attentive to game....its just seeing them looking at them on the my TV (using xbox live for the video part) looking down at their phones is just kind…

Thanks everyone for the continued encouragement. And wolfhound I must admit, as much as I love dogs, Don Corleone is just amazing and I liked the picture you had of him. -Jaymes "Changing History":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/l5r-c…

in What is the simplest rpg-system? March 2012

D&D 4th ed, Legend of the Five Rings 1st Ed and 4th ed (but mechanically only as the RP aspect is quite complex), Kobolds ate my babies, Pathfinder Beginner Box. There are probably others but out of all the systems I have played (quite a lot of …

in Help With Grooveshark March 2012

Thanks Hurst... Here is the base widget available from groovehsark: Heavy Bune by Jeff Van Dyck on Grooveshark But it does not seem to work on OP. What I am using to make it work is: That is for just one song. There is a different wi…

in Breaking into 4th Edition. March 2012

I would recommend getting the players guide, DMG and a module (use internet sources for the monsters or the modules themselves if they have the listing inside) used from Ebay, amazon or your local gaming store. This should be about $50-75. Run the m…

in RPG business model advise March 2012

Ok a couple things you need to do first: 1. Determine your monetary budget. 2. Determine the amount of time you can spend on this project. 3. Calculate the amount of money needed to get the project off the ground. 4. Calculate the amount of r…

Thanks everyone. I still think Killlervp's A God Rebuilt deserves it more then my own (It have 5x the number of fans mine does!). Out of curiosity how is the whole COTM thing decided anyways? Wolfhound: Why did you change your picture? It confuse…

in Hello Everyone!! March 2012

Welcome! And oh man do I want to pick your brain! This is a great community and anyone is always willing to help with either your site or your campaign in general. Although I have a deep loathing of 4ed (am a 3.5 fan myself) it is a great system to …

Ok re-posting to have mine re-reviewed. I have given the quotes the author like was recommended and linked their names to their appropriate wiki. Fixed the navigation sidebar and have started the process of converting the combat from bullet point to…

in Proud of my new map March 2012

Anthony: You need to click textile on the bottom of your post (right above "Preview Post) for the links to work. And I like your map as well. Are you going to make separate maps for each region that you can see on the bigger map? Everyone else: A…

in Long time Player and DM new to OP March 2012

I game with my group over a combination of Skype and Xbox live (I moved from California to Washington DC for school but still game with my old group) and have had good results that way too. If one member buys the Skype premium you can do group video…

Looking for combat writers. Right now all my combat is bullet pointed round by round style and I have been told that I should make it more cinematic. Although I have plenty of experience in fighting (extensive martial arts training, martial arts clu…

in A God Rebuilt March 2012

Killervp: stop giving bad advice like making my campaign COTM when yours deserves it so much more! Shamelessly bumping this thread so that this campaign gets the recognition it deserves! -Jaymes "Changing History":http://www.obsidianportal.com…
