Congratulations on a well-deserved win, @Abersade!

There is a MASSIVE elephant in the room!
March 2020
Yeah, all my games are also now on hold. The public library is closed, of course, and we have several high-risk family members adjacent to our Ptolus group's players. I'm coping by hosting another one of those insanely massive March Madness-style br…

Holy crap! Ptolus is coming to 5E!
February 2020
The Ptolus Kickstarter went live this morning. It funded in less than an hour.

The Grindhouse Arena (LOTS OF PICTURES! Slow bandwidths, beware!)
February 2020
And since I'm updating old posts, I'll add a link to the not-Photobucket images and description of this monstrosity. (I am unable to edit the original post above to fix those broken links.) I'm still running the Grindhouse Arena every year, but righ…

The first step is to admit you have a problem...
February 2020
Yes, we're still playing our Ptolus campaign. I still suck at posting updates here on the forums, but here are a few interesting bits of what happened in the last session: The Sewers tried to eat the halfling. Literally. That same halfling succes…

K-K-K-K-Kill PIT!
February 2020
I... LOVE this. You've got me thinking of ways to incorporate some of these alternative play modes into my Grindhouse Arena. This could be really interesting.

Obsidian Portal check-in 2018: Has the site improved?
January 2020
Thanks for the love, Kallak. :-) That said, it appears that this user (who also happens to have a 303 at the end of their username) only became an OP user yesterday, and is not a member of any campaigns. Curiouser and curiouser...

Alternatives to Obsidian Portal?
January 2020
^^^ What they said. ^^^ To be blunt, Obsidian Portal is the single best GMing tool I've encountered in my 38+ years of gaming. I shout it from the Facebook mountaintops regularly, because this joint is just awesome at what it does. Period.

The "Review my Campaign" thread

It makes me very, very happy to see your campaign here @eyelessgame. Thank you very much for the mention, and your campaign site looks like it's off to a great start!

The "Review my Campaign" thread
November 2019

There are kids using this site. No further explanation should be necessary, and it certainly shouldn't come as a surprise.

Whatcha watching?
October 2019
I've heard really good things about Castle Rock, though I haven't tried it out yet. The new animated Addams Family movie was pretty good. Not world-shaking, but not bad either. It gave good nods to the original TV show, while introducing new facets …

Tables sort themselves??
October 2019
Oh, to be sure this is not something I want it to do. It messes up my tables something awful. Refreshing the page isn't difficult, but this is certainly annoying.

Tables sort themselves??

That's friggin' weird. Yeah, I just installed Firefox and confirmed it doesn't happen on there at all.

After a bit of poking around, I learned that this happens both on wiki pages and character pages, and it affects both desktop and mobile devices when using Chrome or Internet Explorer.

'QUEST'ION OF THE MONTH - OCTOBER 2019
October 2019
edited October 2019
I've been running games of the Dread RPG at conventions for a few years now. I friggin' LOVE this system. I wrote a modern-day scenario where the PCs go on a tropical-island paradise vacation, complete with yellow leis and behind-the-ear flower pro…

Hide or restrict the entire activity stream?
September 2019
I'm not disagreeing. I'm just offering suggestions on workarounds within the existing system as-is. Once in a while I've forgotten to click the GM Only box, but if I go back and re-save the page as GM Only that item then disappears from the stream.

D&D 5e NPC & Monster statblocks?
September 2019
Short answer: You don't. Monster/NPC stat blocks are intentionally simpler than PCs, because there's not normally any reason at all to give them that level of detail. It's one of the things I most love about 5E; as a GM, I can plug-and-play a stat b…

'QUEST'ION OF THE MONTH - SEPTEMBER 2019
September 2019
I've had many, many groups dissolve because participants have moved away. (Six years in the Army'll do that.) I've had player arguments, drama, ennui, schedule changes, angry spouses, and amicable completions over the many, many years. I think I've …

Hide or restrict the entire activity stream?
September 2019
Any page with the GM-Only box checked is completely not visible to your players, but otherwise they'll be able to see the last few items in the stream. If something is in there that you don't want them to see, just save/create a few more pages and i…

Campaign Copy
September 2019
Yeah, I'm dealing with the same challenge myself. I'm prepping a new campaign that could (hopefully) turn into something much bigger, and I realized it'd make more sense to put the core stuff (setting, rules, etc.) in a separate campaign "hub" that …

How do you move the Folders in the media Library
August 2019
I just double-checked to make sure this was correct: You can drag-and-drop files and folders from the main (center) area of the media library page, but you can't grab them from the right-hand column. Once you've grabbed a file or folder, you can dro…

I've kept up with posting adventure logs (my players don't take very good notes); I just haven't been posting the updates here on the forums. ;)
