in Joint Game? August 2008

So I was looking through some of the D&D 3.5e games (especially the plane hopper games) and thought of an interesting possibility: with how easy Obsidian Portal makes sharing DM resources and ideas (such as NPCs, items, maps, etc) has anyone con…

in On image borrowing August 2008

Eh... I think it's pretty harmless as long as you're not taking credit for the image or trying to sell anything with it. I do it all the time, although I have been meaning to make a "bibliography" section on my game that would list all the image so…

in Hello from Michigan August 2008

Michigan represent! I don't live in the state any more, but i consider myself an ex-Michigander. Hey, and I'm also playing D&D 3.5, and I'll be making the switch to Pathfinder come Aug 14th (with the release of the beta! wooohooo!). Funny, I w…

A really great site for any cartographer needs is "http://www.cartographersguild.com":http://www.cartographersguild.com/ Take a look at the forums. It's a dragon's horde of information for stuff! According to most the people there, it's a combi…

in Obsidian Portal beats WotC, film at 11 August 2008

bq. I’m a little confused. Did OP beat WotC because OP does everything Gleemax was supposed to do? Because, then I get it. But it sounds like there was some sort of declared rivalry and I don’t remember hearing about it. AJ Don't question it! …

in FIXED - User Ratings - Miscalculation? July 2008

It is The City of Fogdown, but no worries! I was really just wondering if it was a bug, but I'm not that worried about the ranking. Take your time! :)

in FIXED - User Ratings - Miscalculation? July 2008

Hey, I feel lame bringing this up, but there are 10 users who have rated my campaign, 8 are 5's, 2 are 4's. According to my calculations, that should be 4.8 {[(5x8)+(4x2)]/10}. Did you guys change the math or something? Just wondering...

in Featured Campaign - Beldon July 2008

@Flatscan - Thanks! My general convention is if a NPC's name that has a profile appears more than once in an article, I just link the first one. Same thing with places. The only exception to this is when I use a different conjugation of a name (e.…

in Greetings and salutations July 2008

Actually that's the beauty of PathfinderRPG: They are striving to make it as backwards compatible as possible, and they are proving guides on conversions, as well as a active community always eager to help out on things not officially announced or p…

in Greetings and salutations July 2008

Hey Gully, Welcome aboard. I dig the "Mature Content" warning - it's adds a certain amount of gravity to the D&D worlds that balances the super-fantasy-ness of it. I'm thinking Akira, Ninja Scroll, Heavy Metal, Aeon Flux - all have some pre…

in Featured Campaign - Beldon July 2008

@DarthKrysztof - I can totally relate to that. "My campaign":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/fogdown was built around several things. One was Thief 2: The Metal Age and the other was from a conversation I had with a friend along the lines of…

in Featured Campaign - Beldon July 2008

Hey everyone, I thought the write up for this month's (maybe this "periods") featured campaign sparked an interesting question that I wonder what other peoples' experience were... The articles states "Many new DMs are afraid to make a campaign si…

in Centering a table? July 2008

Use "p = ." no spaces. It is the paragraph tag. You can also do "" for right align. Alternatively, try "t a b l e ={float:center}." no spaces.

in "Evil campaigns" July 2008

Let me just preface my reply with the disclaimer: IMO evil campaigns are the best campaigns and I've run some degree of a "dark" campaign since I let go of my 2e books :) I thought the reference to the _Dark_ _Side_ _Sourcebook_ DarthKryzsztof me…

Ok yeah I'm super confused too then. Maybe send a message to Micah with your porblem? I'd include a link to your campaign, your user name and when it happened about. He is the moderator for the site and the forums. He can help you out if anyone …

in Hello, and Welcome to Tonight's Programming July 2008

I like what you did with the images: the consistent faded edges and font. I might pick that up myself. The writing is good; the humor is great. Ill keep an eye on it.

Ok that's strange. Try this... Go to the adventure log, edit the page, copy everything in that field. Save it. Clear your browser's cache. Go to home page, edit the entry, paste everything from the field to that. Save it. Clear your …

Are you using the WYSIWYG editor or the the textile/html formating for your wiki entry? Check to make sure if you are using the textile/html formating, that you don't have any stray "*" or "< b >". Also, sometimes if you edit a wiki, sav…

in How do you run your game with the OP wiki? July 2008

bq. I’m still struggling with one problem that arises out of that—one of our members does not have Internet access, and due to vision problems can’t really easily read print-outs of the material that I maintain in Word on my laptop. The lack of i…

in [FIXED] Ratings Bug(s) July 2008

bq. ...the site’s rising pokiness was bothering me too, and keeping that under control is a lot more important than the ratings system anyway. Seconded.

in How do you run your game with the OP wiki? July 2008

I think I'm somewhere between both positions, but perhaps closer to onemadogre. _Usually_ I'll put out information that may or may not be immediately connected to the current story. This helps side step the common phenomena of "Wait Redstar, I gre…

Sweet Astral Plane Micah! That is one of the coolest features I've seen yet -- they just keep getting better! Oh this is a stretch but I thought I'd toss it out there anyway: Is there any way to post a mini-frozen section of the map on a wiki…

in Hello, and Welcome to Tonight's Programming July 2008

Hey DW, nice page. I like the concept of your game as well. It seems like there are a lot Sigil/Planescape games around here. I'm beginning to suspect a conspiracy... Have fun!
