in Dynamic Character Sheet Template Approvals June 2012 edited June 2012

You know, now that I think about it, I'm not entirely sure how to go about getting a dynamic character sheet approved. I just finished coding one for GURPS (it's not actually -finished- finished, but it's in a very useable state; anything extra I to…

in GURPS Dynamic Character Sheet June 2012

I agree. A GURPS dynamic character sheet would be pretty boss. In fact, I have a few ideas for how it might look. Maybe something like "this":http://cdn.obsidianportal.com/assets/133392/Sheet1.png. And maybe further on in the sheet could be somethin…

in Changing The White Background June 2012

Unfortunately, I'm still unable to figure out a way to handle this - the functionality for doing so appears to be disabled in OP (using tags in the body of the page), but I have found a personal work-around so I can see what the page would look lik…

in Changing The White Background June 2012

Thanks, guys. I'm in the middle of rolling out an updated site design to the rest of the site (basically, make them all look about like the home page and the Netrunning section). Was kinda hoping to be able to get rid of that whiteness while doing s…

in Replacing the standard Obsidian Portal top navigation bar June 2012

You can probably do that by putting the code in the first adventure log on each page of that tab and putting the code in every adventure log entry under a line, so it doesn't get called when viewing the adventure log list. I don't know what would h…

in How to request a feature June 2012

Oh, I'd also request a 'Co-GM' section on the 'Party' area of the main campaign page (probably right under the current GM section and above the PC section). I'm the co-GM of a game here, but it's kinda hard to tell - I don't think there's anything t…

in Removing a Wiki page title June 2012

Pretty much, yes. You can get creative with images moved to remove the title, but it's kind of annoying. Basically, you have to do something like this: !(media-item-align-center)http://cdn.obsidianportal.com/assets/98861/RunicMagic.png(Runic ma…

in Can not stop email notifications from forums June 2012

Does this work properly for anyone? I too hate this forum auto-subscribing me to every thread (I don't want to be subscribed to _any_ thread), and as far as I can tell it's impossible to tell the forums to stop doing so. Just like Jaymes, I try to t…

in How to request a feature May 2012 edited May 2012

I think nested Includes could be fine, but yeah, you need to make sure no infinite loops are possible, possibly by making it so any one 'include' can only be used once per page, no matter if it's nested or not.

in How to request a feature May 2012

This is more of a meta-feature that could help the site developers than anything else, but... What might be nice would be an integrated method of handling feature requests and finding out which ones people most want. Say, some kind of database wh…

in How to Make Maps for Your Campaign (For Free!) April 2012

I'm quite certain that a 'partial sphere world' like that in your campaign isn't going to be stable, dlaporte. There's a reason that objects above a certain mass naturally form into spherical planets; the impact of gravity is likely to collapse the …

in Textile "+" sign help February 2012

Or using ==double equal signs== to tell the Textile engine to ignore everything between them.

in Replacing the standard Obsidian Portal top navigation bar February 2012

I haven't tried, but you should be able to put the body of the text in a div and move it upwards.

in Cheating January 2012

I don't think we have much cheating going on in our games; we play over Skype, but we use a die roller add-on to allow us to roll in the game chat window - it's basically impossible to cheat that way. Then again, there isn't much need to cheat - we …

in The "Review my Campaign" thread January 2012 edited January 2012

Thanks for the review. I'm not entirely sure what you mean about removing crunchy information from the home page - there isn't any rules text there, it's just an introduction to the setting. For the 'breaking the 4th wall explanation' bit, do you…

in The "Review my Campaign" thread January 2012

Actually, Cernig and I are co-GMs on Edgerunners - Cernig has an in-person group that he plays with that's going to be running in the Edgerunners setting, and we're intending to switch GMing duties around occasionally on the Skype game; I don't have…

in The "Review my Campaign" thread January 2012

You're right - that _does_ look better. I'll roll that out to the rest of the site at the same time as the background update.
Langy
in The "Review my Campaign" thread January 2012

Thanks; I got a "new banner":http://cdn.obsidianportal.com/assets/98358/EdgeRunners-Banner.png that I think will work better, but I need to wait for Cernig to get online to get feedback from him and put it up if he likes it. It's in the same style a…

in The "Review my Campaign" thread January 2012 edited January 2012

I'd like it if someone reviewed "Edgerunners":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/edgerunners I'm specifically looking for feedback on the design, layout, and what fluff we've got up there. We're still in the planning and construction stages,…

in OP Mentioned on CNN.com January 2012

Only bad part is them calling Obsidian Portal a 'D&D wiki', which kind of gives the impression that OP doesn't support other game systems. Eh. Still, good news overall.

in Interest in gaming over Skype? December 2011

I game via Skype once per week, but we don't use either the voice or video functions, just the text chat and ability to use plugins (specifically a die roller). Works very well for us.

in Looking for Online, hopefully in Fantasy Grounds November 2011

I'm currently in a Skype-based (but no voice-chat) online game, "The Town.":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/gurps-the-town It's a modern-fantasy game using the GURPS system. Me and a few others are in the planning stages for a Cyberpunk g…

in [Recruitment] 3.5 players in Orange County November 2011

I'm guessing this is Orange County, California, but you should probably clarify what state it's in. There is more than one Orange County in the United States. For example, I happen to live in Orange County, Florida (as does Walt Disney World, Univer…

in To edit or not to edit, that is the question October 2011

For the first: I'm playing on a Skype-based game on here, and for the first few sessions I posted the log of the chat as an 'adventure log', only edited so that it didn't look like a chat log any more. For example, "Enter the Incomers.":http://ww…

in Feature Request: Auto-Include page October 2011 edited October 2011

Most of the content already there was written by "Cernig,":http://www.obsidianportal.com/profile/Cernig one of our co-GMs, though coming up with the basic ideas was a collaborative effort. Me and Crakkerjakk are slated to write most of the crunch - …

Thanks, I try. The design isn't 100% set yet, but I'm getting there. After that, it's just a question of writing up the actual content:/

in Private info for PCs July 2011

You replied to a *really* old post (over a year old) - this feature has already been included. It appears as a button that allows you to add separate text boxes, and you use check-boxes to determine who can see each text box. It appears on both w…
