I think Augustus' idea is awesome-sauce!

in "Scabbards EVERYWHERE!" - Managing Carried Items February 2012

To my constant despair, I do not keep track of what items my players have, I leave that to them. In fact, I do not even know what items my players have at all, I'm not sure how good their armor is, or even (in some cases) what their weapons are capa…

in Beta Testers Needed for wiki page versioning feature February 2012

I agree with the two above, 3 is probably a good number.

in Linking to the "pre built" wiki pages? February 2012

Lately I've really like having my links not have the underline to them and you could do that by doing "{text-decoration:none}Link text here":http://linkurlhere.com If you want to use the color change that gnunn described with this then you would …

in Destructive Players February 2012

Woah, woah woah... Why hate on the rogue? The freaking goody two-shoes paladin is the problem child! With all his talk of, "No you can't take that beggar's hat!" and "Did you just dishonorably stab that guy in the back?" even though he was about to …

in Cheating February 2012

This isn't so much as fudging dice rolls, but I once completely forgot to have the enemies attack any of the players for the entire combat. Of course none of them asked me about it until after I had declared all the attackers dead or apprehended...

in Keeping track of player inventory February 2012

I do indeed think it is a good idea, if your players are active on OP. Otherwise I can see it just being a way to really piss off your players (like I think it would mine).

in Down loading your campaigns January 2012

Although, if you aren't very computer literate it might be hard to read it. The text file is in HTML and it just shoves all of the information together in the file.
magavendon
in Down loading your campaigns January 2012

Nah, it's just one big text file. It hardly takes up that much space at all.

in Switching GMs January 2012

What you could consider doing, if you switch GMs often, is having a group account that you all share the password to and just have that one be the Ascended account.

in Cheating January 2012

I recently played a session where we just kept rolling bad roll after bad roll after bad roll in one fight. It was getting to the point that it was starting to look like it was going to be a TPK even though we were just left on one creature that was…

in Destructive Players January 2012

I'd probably do something similar to what Dread suggests and let the player know that isn't a good idea and either the character should have a "miraculous change of heart" (or whatever), a new character needs to be made, or (as a last resort) that p…

in Cheating January 2012

I often cheat for my players. Some of them would just quit if anything bad actually happened to their character and so I cheat rolls for everyone. I don't know about my players. It would be too inconvenient for me to have to specifically watch ev…

in Reputation January 2012

My DM actually tried to remedy that situation, because he just hates me being awesome I guess, unfortunately I can't remember right now how we got around the whole problem of people beginning to expect a backpack assault. You can be sure I had a way…

in Strangest thing that your players have come up with in a campaign January 2012

I was once playing in a 3.5 campaign and was playing the group's rogue. The DM was getting really tired of me destroying things so easily and finally gave us something to fight that involved no hiding places whatsoever for me to sneak around in. Bei…

in My Obsidian Portal experiment has failed... January 2012

I would like to point out that in my campaign, "Progression into the Stars":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/progression-into-the-stars, I have 9 active players and only 1 posts any logs or wiki pages, or really does anything on the site with…

in Favorite GM game systems January 2012

I'm pretty new at GMing so the only game I've ever run is a GURPS game. I really like complexity so I really like this system. I've noticed that it seems to be much easier for my players (the ones who really try for this) to overpower themselves in …

in Long Adventure Logs January 2012 edited January 2012

I'm currently trying to encourage my players to write *any* logs. It's awesome that you have someone willing to write such a long log!

in DATABASE OF STOCK NPC's January 2012

OMG, I love the banner you made for me! You won't mind me using it anywhere, like not just on this site, if I give you credit right? On another note, I probably won't be able to post anything for a bit. I've just joined two campaigns and have to …

in GURPS Dynamic Character Sheet January 2012

I second this notion! Even if it fairly difficult to create (in comparison to other systems that is).

in Hiding you campaign January 2012

I currently have a closed campaign (which I'd link if it wasn't closed :P) because right now I'm just setting up the world and the system for a future game I'll be running.

Thanks! I'll be sure to check it out!

in Work Exchange January 2012

Something like that Killer, I was kinda hoping for something with a bit more... stuff? I guess? But I don't know that adding more things wouldn't make it harder to read the text, unfortunately, lol. I could be happy with a background like that, thou…

in Work Exchange January 2012

Actually I just thought of something. If someone could come up with a nice looking space type background that can still show text pretty well without just being black that would be much appreciated. Super extra awesomeness to you if it can repeat we…

I agree with the above. I prefer external.

in The "Review my Campaign" thread January 2012

*Current Timeline* Not Necessarily Bad, but Things That Can Be Improved Upon: In your explanation you have, "... month, but Rifts year..." and I'm not sure if that is supposed to be Rift's or not. If it is supposed to be Rift's you have it without …

in The "Review my Campaign" thread January 2012

Well here goes my review of "A God...Rebuilt":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/a-god-rebuilt. My review is too big to put in one post so I'm going to split it up.

in Work Exchange January 2012

Here's my "stats" if you will: I'm a programmer by trade. I haven't messed with HTML or Textile a lot, but have no problems figuring things out (whether it's possible on the site or not) when I want to do something. I'm decent at editing pictu…

in Should random encounters be level appropriate? January 2012 edited January 2012

How can Waffles be greater than Wafaffles? Wafaffles are Waffles filled with Waffles. They're kinda like super saiyan waffles.

in Should random encounters be level appropriate? January 2012

Intergalactic House of Wafaffles. Did the acronym thing not work?
