There is a MASSIVE elephant in the room!
October 2020
Tomorrow night I'm launching my newest campaign on Roll20. We're going old school with the 5E conversion of Rappan Athuk, the megadungeon-crawl from Frog God Games. And I have eight players. I'm sure it'll be fiiiiine...

tweaking of "private character" option
October 2020
I guess I'm not entirely understanding the issue. Are you using DST character sheets for your NPCs? That's the only reason I can come up with for why you wouldn't just use the GM-Only section of a standard character page to keep the secret parts sec…

how do you flag spam comments in the forum?
October 2020
Yeah, just give it time. Those posts show up every now and again, but they're never around for long. @Kallak and company do a great job keeping this place spam-free.

Featured Campaign of the Month
October 2020
Congratulations on the win and on your magnificent campaign! That's the sort of game I'd love to play (if I had the time for another campaign).

horny players
October 2020
No. No, I don't have that problem with my players at all. And I'd shut that down hard if someone tried it at my table.

Automatic linking
September 2020
Yeah, I take your point about it possibly looking sloppy with too many links too frequently used. I think I feel personally attacked.

Character creation questionnaires
September 2020
At character creation, I ask each player to give me the names of five people who are important to their character: friends, family, mentors, rivals, or enemies. It gives me plot hooks galore, and lets the players feel like their characters matter to…

That's weird, @twiggyleaf. I don't use an app, I just go to the discord website.

Nominate COTM Here!

@Ambivanarchist, you're correct that First Blight has only gotten better. But it already won Campaign of the Month in April 2019.

Add "Item Link" to the right-side list?
September 2020
Yeah, I just re-noticed that "warning" today. Could we perhaps get that modified or removed, @thaen?

Custom Calendar
September 2020
It's interesting, and I might use it if there were a built-in calendar like this, but I agree that this should be a low-priority item.

Custom side menu items

Simple method to transfer character(s) from one campaign to another
September 2020
I have a LOT of system-rules pages in my wikis. Currently I am linking from multiple campaigns to one "hub" campaign where I have all those pages, but if there were a way for me to copy those rule pages to another campaign it'd make the linking proc…

Simple method to transfer character(s) from one campaign to another
September 2020
Dude, if there were a way to bulk-copy pages from one campaign to another I'd buy a round of the Good Stuff for the entire development team.

GM Only Maps
September 2020
Yeah, I've been doing that throughout my campaign with a bit of Photoshop layering, though I'm just using the wiki rather than the Map feature.

Whoops @Keryth987, it says my invite link is invalid. Do those things have an expiration date?

July 2020
I can picture this in my head. I think it'd be pretty straightforward to construct a timeline like that using a Table, but it'd be time-consuming.

The "Review my Campaign" thread
June 2020
@Bronn1 you're off to a great start! I was in your shoes when I started here on Obsidian Portal, and I still know far less CSS magic than most of the other veteran GMs around here. Though I did borrow a few choice bits of cool CSS stuff from peers, …
