in Don't Stop the Action to visit the Reference Library April 2017

I've been meaning to pick that book up. I'm a recovering rules lawyer who used to grind the game to a halt whenever the 3.5/Pathfinder grapple or counterspelling rules came into play. Now I sort of just handwave them into simple opposed checks. I th…

in Is there a guide to the new(ish) Editor? April 2017

I think we need to admit that while there are machinations afoot in regard to site improvements, they are few and far between and beyond the ken of us mere users. A youtube series or user guide to some of the newer features and the new editor is a f…

Blood in the Water! Springing sharks! Mephit pranks! Ancient ceremonies, murderous moppets, undead serpentmen, AND the hands of a god? For our heroes, it’s all in a day’s work! But will the benighted terrors of Zura’s Sanguine Sanctorum force the C…

Another big issue is that this forum is a dead end, other than our own links to our pages. They said some time ago that integration between the forums and the site was in the works. And they don't do anything for the blog, either. A Facebook link mi…

Here's my take on CotY -- and I apologize to the committee if this is overstepping myself. I'm speaking now as a nominee and only a nominee. I don't think it's worth doing. We can probably assume Kaleidoscope has a mountain of tech issues that take …

Thanks, abu you're awesome! Also, going into season 2 we are looking for a new player. We play at my place in Chicago on the west side of the city every Tuesday or Thursday, with a break every three or 4 weeks. We need someone to replace Nemanji, un…

It was going to be temporary, but now I anaconda attached to it. Now I am compelled to think up a villain for Salma there to repserpent. In any case, I hope it doesn't invite any venomous criticisms -- or hisssssy fits, after all, she's wearing a ga…

I think he means the Obsidian Portal Blog where the interview is posted. That reminds me, I was going to post there too!

Shrine of the Serpent Lords! A cathedral to the Father of Serpents! A shrine older than humankind! Our heroes surrounded by the prehistoric dead! Beneath the rapacious eyes of the Headless King, who will draw first blood in this declaration of war?…

I finally sacrificed my 5 bucks in the name of hammering a few proud nails on my site ... and I put my comments gif up too.

in Do you get keep the files that exceed 2 mb on the site if your Ascendant Membership runs out? March 2017

Yeah, they stay where they are. But you can't upload any more until you re-Ascend.

Except for having to hit it with the important! tag, that did the trick! Thanks.

Just a heads up, if you click the link to the interview from http://blog.obsidianportal.com/ (landing page) the interview displays as wrongly as I posted above. Not sure if that's helpful just providing info...

Is it just me (my computer) or does the interview appear out of synch with the rest of the blog?

Congrats Jasonvey! If you can still get mvogal's responses, I think Kal can still edit them in. He did that for me when I won for one of my players when her responses were late.

Unfortunately, it seems the case that traffic is pretty light on the forums these days. Thanks for sharing, I'll check it out!

in Whatcha working on? February 2017

Hey thanks for the compliment and shoutout, C-greg, yours looks friggin awesome! As for mine, it's kind of a proud nail ... I am practicing GIF animation to get the words to animate and rise off the page, which is a sorta in-house campaign trope I …

Boils and Ghouls! In the subterranean domain of Mama Thrunefang, the cannibal tribe’s ancient dead prove hungrier than their living descendants! The Castaways’ search for the answers that have eluded them thus far concludes with a momentous discove…

I'd be interested for sure -- the old NWN player in me has a softspot for the Realms. Is it casual PBP or do you have a set time?

Welcome! OP should sticky this thread for intros. We're all on the same plane when it comes to wanting to welcome new people. This community is easily the nicest, helpful, and most understanding I've ever interacted with in my internet career.

in Is there a way to recover a deleted page? February 2017

I would contact support as soon as possible. I know that old pages get saved when you have an ascendant account that you can roll back to if you mess up edits or whatever, so its possible that they can help you retrieve a deleted page. I do the same…

The High Chief’s Aegis! The chance to escape Smuggler’s Shiv is within reach, and the Castaways attempt to take the lighthouse tower where the high chief holds court. Deadlocked with the cannibals, the action takes an unexpected turn. When the smok…

Well-deserved win! Not only is your site an amazing resource, but it really demonstrates what this site can do with a little time, patience, and know-how. That spinning-newspaper widgy is so damn cool...

in How do you nominate a campaign for Campaign of the Month? February 2017

Truthfully, people don't nominate theirs too often, we've a pretty humble community I think. If you'd like to nominate a campaign, you can do so here The committee have a lot of nominations at present. Not to discourage anyone, be we've pretty exac…

Yes, Kal will make the announcement as soon as the interview for the blog goes up. There was a miscommunication among the committee (re: I screwed up) creating the delay.

Thanks for posting UTM! And the compliments! Your post sorta mirrors what I said here, and I'm holding out Blue Lantern degrees of hope that a new fan-driven vote will garner more engagement from the community.
