in Created a Game World Calendar Tool Using the API June 2012

Any chance of giving us non-Twitter/Facebook users a way to use this? Because it sounds awesome, but I refuse to sign up for something I don't want just to get the calendar :P

It still doesn't work for me.

One option might be to change "Expedition logs" to "Logs" -- same tabs, but they'll take up less space and it looks like that would solve the problem.

in Campaign help May 2012

Don't bother buying "parchment" paper for game aids -- just make up some really strong tea or coffee (I find it easier to get the required strength with coffee) and soak a sheet of regular paper in it for 30 sec-2 min, then hang it up to dry. For w…

in An Adventurer's Guide to Arunë May 2012 edited May 2012

I apologize, I was using the term "book" because you stated it was going to be a book. I referred to it as a campaign as I was assuming you weren't going to be writing a campaign setting without planning to run a campaign. I do not intend any pe…

Okay, so this guide should completely eliminate the need for the wiki? In that case, make sure your players know they're getting a book! Most DMs don't hand out books for their settings, and I can tell you that I would be rather put off by being h…

You know how movie blurbs and the back of books make you excited and make you want to watch/read the material? That's what a 1-2 page document is for. Give the players a taste of the world and maybe spark an idea of what sort of character they mig…

What is your goal here? You mentioned on the Frothing Mug that it was for new players -- well, I love to read and I'd balk at being asked to read 54 pages! Especially since it's way over-worded; I stopped reading carefully in the second paragraph …

in Beta Testers Needed for wiki page versioning feature May 2012

That's weird, mine always shows a ton of versions -- one page shows 10 versions and has easily twice that under "show all versions". I was never a beta tester.

in Help! Im an unexperienced DM and need inspiration May 2012

If you're already having issues with players not liking your DMing, killing one of them will NOT help. What is it they don't like? There are so many different things a DM does that just knowing "I've been told I"m not that good at being a DM" do…

Ooh, nice!

Done! All the heat is yours.

...I'm an Oregonian currently in Texas. Want to swap? :P

in Dresden Files RPG - Dallas April 2012

Out of curiosity, how do you put comments on just about any page?
Savannah
in A God...Rebuilt April 2012

Yep, dark red is consistently the easiest to read.
Savannah
in A God...Rebuilt April 2012

I like the dark red -- aside from the typical association with red, I find the dark red much easier to read.

in A Free Map and Tutorial by Arsheesh April 2012

...I KNEW I'd seen the name "arsheesh" somewhere before Obsidian Portal. Nice tutorial!

Can you have more/fewer tabs than the standard, or do you have to match them exactly?

in LFPlayers - (Online VIA Maptools w/ Hamachi): The World's Largest Dungeon, D&D 3.5 edition March 2012

To be honest, there aren't any great times (it's probably for the best that it didn't work out - I'm way busy this term). I was mostly interested because I've never played a MapTools game, but I want to some time.

in LFPlayers - (Online VIA Maptools w/ Hamachi): The World's Largest Dungeon, D&D 3.5 edition March 2012

Which is pretty much exactly when my group plays. Oh well, good luck finding more players!

What time (and what time zone) do you play?

in Breaking into 4th Edition. March 2012 edited March 2012

1. Yeah, the SRD is 3.5 and you won't find a (legal) 4e equivalent. The closest I've heard of is "4e quickstart rules":http://www.wizards.com/dnd/Feature.aspx?x=new/learntoplay, but I've never looked at it myself. You might also try your local lib…

Awesome! Thanks :)

in Can not stop email notifications from forums February 2012

To be clear, we're not talking about the ascendent-feature forums on our campaigns, we're talking about this forum right here. The options in my OP profile page seem to apply to the former, while the options on here apply (or rather don't apply) to…

in Can not stop email notifications from forums February 2012 edited February 2012

Yep. They're re-checked as soon as I leave the page. This is actually why I've not been on here as much as I was at one point -- it's that annoying to wade through the spam (and it's not like I can block Obsidian Portal's emails; there's importa…
Savannah
in Can not stop email notifications from forums February 2012

I've had the same problem -- I can't unsubscribe from the threads I've posted in nor stop automatically subscribing to threads. Every time I try to uncheck the options, they recheck themselves.
Savannah
in Sandbox vs Canned January 2012

Define "canned". As I've always seen it used, "canned" = "published". 'Sandbox vs published adventures' is a meaningless question as they're different dimensions, not opposite ends of a single dimension.

(I'm not at all insulted if someone else wants to help with editing, too -- I've been super busy lately!)
Savannah
in Cheating January 2012

It really depends on the game, the players, and the situation. I am willing to fudge the dice, but it's very rare (one example -- in a play-by-post game this one battle against minor enemies had gone on for over a week due to crappy rolls on the pl…

in Destructive Players January 2012

Get them away from the group, explain why they're being disruptive, and ask why. The results of that discussion will determine what happens next.
