The first step is to admit you have a problem...
July 2021
It was an absolute success. We were all happy to return to the gaming table, and after a pretty significant recap of the campaign plotlines the party managed to get a lot more done. They dodged a couple of really nasty traps, beat up some demons, an…

And now it's time to shout from the tip-top of the Spire itself, because at long last we're finally returning to Ptolus in about an hour!

GM's Only Section Visible
July 2021
I can't see the GM Only section on any of your pages. Did a player say they could see it? If so, does that player have Co-GM status?

Ability to set individual wiki pages to "players only"
May 2021
I, uh, use this a LOT in my campaigns. The "questionable" content is hidden just as @thaen suggested, in a Player Secret section viewable by all players. Or, in the case of my "monsters" section, it's only viewable by the GM(s).

Obsidian Portal for clubs/communities

There are numerous campaigns here that have done exactly what you're describing, @FenrisLoup. Two examples: Tales from Mystara Living World of Verum

Bug-ish: Plus symbols and HTML entities
April 2021
I just put a space between the + and the digit. It works as a cheap and easy fix.

Creating Ancor points
April 2021
Yeah, I use anchors all over the place in my wiki too. I hadn't realized that accordions wouldn't play well with anchors though, so I'm glad you brought this up.

Heh, you might want to check out The Haunted by @LordMisha and see what really fun stuff you can do with dead characters...

Question on Tables and Cell Manipulation

I know how to do it in Textile, but that looks like you're using html.

I have to give all credit to @Keryth987 for pointing them out, but @LordMisha has an outstanding campaign. I officially nominate The Haunted.

Ability to change/edit the Item Categories
January 2021
Pretty much. When I'm running a pre-written adventure, I like to substitute new and never-before-seen monsters in place of the same old humdrum bad guys. Gnolls are cool, but how 'bout using some quaggoths or shadowfolk instead? Or if I want to sort…

Ability to change/edit the Item Categories
January 2021
I currently have over 1400 separate wiki pages with the "Monster" tag, along with CR levels and 5E creature types. I'd dearly love to be able to do a search for (for example) CR2 Undead.

Ability to change/edit the Item Categories
January 2021
I think the Tags issue is probably what needs a bigger focus, rather than the item categories. If we had more functionality from the Tags, I think this problem would fix itself. I'd dearly love to be able to use multiple Tags to sort my site search …

@eyelessgame No, definitely don't give Photobucket any money. When I first started my Ptolus campaign many years ago, Photobucket was a free hosting service where I stored all my images. (At that early stage, Obsidian Portal's media library max was …

Ability to change/edit the Item Categories

Well then, I guess I don't need that custom category at all. My own workaround was a Tag for for those specific categories, and that's doing the job just fine.

This is something I've also been interested in. If there were a way to make this dropdown editable, there are a lot of campaign-specific things I could do with this. I have lists of various chaositech devices and ancient arcana that I'm adding to my…

Holy crap. Ptolus hit the 100 Fans mark. Y'all are friggin' awesome, y'know that? Someday when all this is over and we can safely meet up in person, we're going back to Ptolus. There are cultists in need of a good slaying. And you can be sure I'll b…

more membership badges?
December 2020
Heh, me too. I initially joined in 2011 and tinkered with campaign creation for my homebrew version of the Forgotten Realms, but didn't really get into using OP until I started my Ptolus campaign in 2015.
