ADDED - Collapsing Adventure Logs
October 2008
I'll second (third! :) ) this. It never really mattered to me before, because I didn't bother with my adventure log in my last campaign. This time I swear I'll do better. :D

Game-specific Monsters

The Server Crash Was My Fault -- And Map Related
September 2007
Hmm... Well, OP is back up. I dunno if it was an outright crash or just a blip. Still it's an issue. Have you had a chance to stress-test the map generation code yet? Oh, and I'm not about to try again just yet.

The Server Crash Was My Fault -- And Map Related
September 2007
It looks like the forums are still up, although quite slow. As I mentioned in another post, I'm the one who crashed your server. Really, I'm super-duper sorry. But I thought I'd post what I did so you can do something about it. I was try…

Anybody using the maps?
September 2007
I think I broke the server. I was uploading a 1.5 mb JPG map. Got a 502 (failed POST) error, and now I can't hit the website at all. I only hope the forums are on a separate server, not just a separate domain, so this post goes through. I'm r…

Alas, I have yet to go to DragonCon. :(

September 2007
I agree, great idea. I know not every game will have them, but custom prestige or base classes, feats, and talents/talent trees might also be nice.

Sharing NPC across users
September 2007
I would argue that copying would be the best bet -- that way you don't have to worry about changes as the NPCs do different things in the different campaigns. Some canon purists might feel the need to reconcile all possible story paths into a single…

Handout's
September 2007
I'm guessing this is going to be a no, mostly for fear of wasting storage space and bandwidth. Your best bet is to upload the files to an off-site host, like photobucket, then link to them in your campaign. That's what I do with the images in my…

Is Gleemax available yet?

Yeah, ya gotta buy more books. Just like you gotta buy a new computer to run BioShock. Nature of the beast.

User List / Search Feature
August 2007
I'd like to see the ability to list and search for users, if possible: * A way to list every user on Obsidial Portal by username. Similar to the campaign or character list (although probably with a smaller font), with links going to the user's pr…

User list?
August 2007
Perhaps I'm just not finding it, but is there any way to view a list of users and/or search for users of Obsidian Portal?

August 2007
Star Wars, eh? I'm doing the same. "The Shattered Hope":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/swtsh is my campaign. It's alternate timeline -- I stole the idea from a post on theRPGsite and have been running with it, making my own changes as I go. …

Locations as an editable entry
August 2007
Yeah, that's really your best bet is to use the wiki. Still, a unique page just for locations might be cool as a general shared resource the way campaigns and characters are; something everyone can browse and use or steal ideas from.

Heya, Bagpuss! Welcome to Obsidian. I've been really enjoying myself here lately, although I haven't had enough time to update as I'd like. It seems like everytime I sit down and say "I'm gonna go flesh out the campaign history some more, this t…

Is Gleemax available yet?
August 2007
As far as I can tell, the super-pre-alpha version was only demoed at GenCon, but isn't available to the general public yet. There's info on what it's going to have here: http://www.gleemax.com/articles/announcement014.html

I've also been mentioning Obsidian in the new 4e section at the Wizard's board. Speaking of 4e.... it looks like some portions of the D&D-Insider subscription are conceptually similar to Obsidian. I keep trying to pimp Obisidian by mention…

Hey there
August 2007
Well, figure I'll intro -- I'm Randolpho, and I stumbled onto Obsidian through one of the other main RPG sites. I can't remember which, it was either ENWorld, TheRPGSite, or the Wizards' board. I've been playing and GMing off and on since the ea…

Linking to the main page?

Whops, forgot to wrap that in code tags. Although you can see what happens -- cut out entirely. Here's the original code: [[main-page|Return to Main Page]]

Linking to the main page?
August 2007
I've tried linking to the main page of my player wiki using the following code: [[main-page|Return to Main Page]] but the system cuts it out of the rendered page entirely. Is there some special trick needed to link to the main page of a w…

Campaign Description Formatting
August 2007
When I created a campaign, some of the basic formatting for the campaign description, specifically line breaks, were included on the display page. When I edited the campaign description, however, the formatting was not applied. I don't know if t…

Do you trust your campaign members?
August 2007
Regarding wiki edits... as a GM there are some things I would want the players to be able to see but not edit, there are some things I'd want them to be able to edit (particularly discussion pages), and there are some things I wouldn't want them to …

Copyright Issues?
July 2007
As I mentioned in another thread, I really like Obsidian Portal. Great concept, very useful; I plan to transition as much of my gaming content as I can to it. Because of that, I *really* want Obsidian Portal to succeed as a permanent presence on the…

Way to go, Micah!
July 2007
I'd like to add another "way to go". I just stumbled onto this site, and I must say, it's a great idea. Very useful. Kudos!
