in Dealing with Dangerous Encounters & PC Death in Your Campaign July 2010

LOL. At the start of every session, I should pick one person, point at him/her, smile devilishly, and say "Tonight... you." Then go about my business and ignore any attempts to get me to elaborate. Of course, that's a reference at least one p…

in High magic campaigns July 2010

Competing schools, Consequences, and the Magic Immune. I run a very magic-rich campaign. All spellcasters in my campaign world have to focus on a particular approach to magic. This creates the opportunity for the formation of competing schools of ma…

Black_Vulmea, I tell my players that the only time their characters are really safe is between sessions. I agree, they should know what they are getting into, but even more so, I think they should be reminded in the course of the game of what's at s…

in How to request a feature July 2010

Is there a way to lock edits to wiki pages without entering a password? Also, a flash-based chat-room would be kind of cool. Finally, and this is just me hanging onto hope that this will one-day be supported, a background music player for atmo…

in Hello all July 2010

I have some experience running a game with players using Skype and Oovoo (I prefer the latter for a number of reasons). Let me know if I can be of any help to you. - Duskreign.

in FACEPALM!: Learning from your mistakes July 2010

I am literally laughing out loud at: "bla bla bla prophesy bla bla at all costs bla bla" I used to have a GM that treated his entire game world with that same level of verve and ardor. He used to do the lazy/falling-asleep-man's version of the fi…

I hear you. Me introducing myself now is kind of like this: "You enter the princess's bedchamber, the scene of the murder, and the reason you and your mystic sleuth agency were dispatched to Reignton Falls. As you press open the thick elm-wood do…

Yes, but like a good cheese, Yakov jokes are really old, bad milk. Yep, I've been on OP since the aught-nine. Huuuyup, yup, yup.. them was the goodol days. You youngsters wouldn't understand. Back then, we had to code html with a quill and ink an…

in Thoughts on my plot outline (it's REALLY long, sorry...) July 2010

This is pretty similar to how I outline my own campaigns in Wyrmshadow, actually. I feel in you a kindred spirit, Gaaran. With regards to dealing with unexpected player input, I, like you, absolutely thrive upon it. My last campaign, Sins of the Fat…

Florimel sounds like my kind of DM.

in Problems with ratings - official thread July 2010

Yeah, I take the "spaghetti on the wall" approach to talking. Probably better for all of you if I continued my self-imposed moratorium on visiting the forum. But still, I think there is something resembling a consensus in the makings, here.

Oh, man, Cartographers Guild makes me so damn happy.

That's another thing, Gaaran. Thanks for bringing it up. Healing is too easy in D&D. This is especially true in 4th Edition. In my D&D game, my players have to roll for a permanent penalty for every time they are dropped to Bloodied in a …

in Hello July 2010

Hey, Effusive, and welcome. I started playing D&D when I was 11, so I can relate. As for getting a lot out of Obsidian Portal, I can recommend the following: Look at the top rated campaigns and glean, glean, glean. I mean, check out how each …

Also, I had some shame. I spent it all with this rebuttal, but there you go.

I think you get one free with a large sandwich at McD... oh, Amen? I thought you typed small soft drink. I need new glasses. Anyway, I'm glad someone agrees with me.

in Problems with ratings - official thread July 2010

The star ratings imply a competition that doesn't, or at least shouldn't, exist here. My campaign isn't better than anyone elses. I am not out to prove that. I work hard to ensure that my site is as nice as I can make it. I don't do it to keep up wi…

Newgrounds has a lot of Indy tunes I have found. I highly recommend checking that site out.

in Dealing with Dangerous Encounters & PC Death in Your Campaign July 2010

As I began to run my current campaign, War is Hell, I realized that my players felt bulletproof. Sure, things could "seem" intense at times, but they always pulled through. Nobody died unless the story called for it, and the player was ok with it ah…

in Dreams July 2010

I am intrigued! I may want to adapt this idea to create Force Visions for the PCs in my Star Wars campaign. I was already thinking of making a "The Story So Far" video using a similar slideshow-style effect, but the dream angle is just genius! Al…

in Problems with ratings - official thread July 2010

I think I would like the rating system a lot more if you had to leave a text comment describing the reason why you gave the campaign such a rating. I recently got a 1-star rating for Wyrmshadow, a site I work very, very hard on making as nice as I p…

in Getting My Campaign to Featured Status Level July 2010

I just perused your campaign site for the first time and found myself adding it as a favorite and rating it 5 stars almost immediately. I believe Crucible is a world I would enjoy playing in. I can tell you're a devoted GM just by seeing the passion…

I can help you out. I did the world map for my campaign. http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/wyrmshadow send me a PM if you liked what you saw.

Matt, welcome to the coolest place for roleplayers like us! 1) I have only just begun my first campaign since finding Obsidian Portal, and so far I have only used these tools as a way to archive our regular sessions (normal in-person pen-and-pape…

in Not My Art May 2009

I can only tell you what my lawyer friend (and one of my players) told me. He said that using anyone's art on this site should fall under what's called fair use. If the artist or copyright holder contact you or Obsidian Portal and request that their…
