Micah, you receive 250 exp for defeating this question. Amongst the question's belongings are 100 gp, a masterwork short sword and a strange map.

in Hi there June 2008

Hey Bookkeeper, Welcome aboard! Sounds like you've been gaming for a number of years. I hope you enjoy your experience here as much as I have. I also agree that OP is one of the best boons a GM could ask for! Cheers

in New Feature - PC/NPC quick lookup June 2008

Wow, this is cool. I often do the same as above: wiki, NPCs, SRD, and the page I'm editing. bq. Is it trying to find the names of wiki pages? Yes. Yes it is.

in DnD 4th June 2008

Hey DarthKrzystof, I saw your question over at Gnome Stew. Honestly, after playing a 4e game and reading through the rules, I think it's next to impossible. 95% of the abilities are not only focused on combat, but due very specific things in te…

in FIXED - Tags loose their " when NPC is edited April 2008

I was wondering why that kept happening. I just thought I kept on forgetting the quotes!

in FIXED - Campaign Update Feeder April 2008

I'm not sure if this a bug or not, but in general, I think it could be a fairly large problem. I want to say that I love the feeder, but I've just noticed a pretty big issue: Let's say I have a wiki page, hidden, and GM only. Let's say this wik…

in Gratuitous compliment thread April 2008

A little late to the discussion, but I would like to the echo the sentiments that pretty much every regularly updated wiki I've seen has been wonderfully creative in so many ways. Just looking at other games has helped me not only organize my own ga…

in Wiki counter? March 2008

Come on now... no one is even a _little_ interested to know? It would be a like a "hot or not" counter for your page :)

in Wiki counter? March 2008

Hey, I know we have the favorites and the number of votes, but would it be possible to get a "times viewed"? Sometimes it's nice to know someone else is looking at my wiki other than me :)

in What sign are you? March 2008

So, based on "this":http://forums.obsidianportal.com/forums/6/topics/237 discussion, I have a funny feeling like there are a lot of Pisces around here. Where are my fellow Pisces brothers and sisters?

in I liked the search feature March 2008

In terms of searching... I was thinking to myself: what exactly are people searching? Keywords or specific entires? If they are just keywords, maybe just have the search engine search by keywords. You could just add keyword fields to entire…

in Links to a Page? March 2008

I wonder if you can do an html redirect? Well, probably not, since it requires access to the tag... An other solution would be to, just place a link in the "revealed" npc's profile for the new one: e.g. if NPC X and Y are the same. Put a link…

taodon - cheers and welcome! I'm new here too, but i've liked what i've seen. great music and props for proving once again that pen-and-paper RPGs are the best creative outlets. period. robjustice - yeah it is a strange type of person that wa…

in How to link between Adventure Log and Wiki February 2008

Hey Firedrake, As far as I know, anchors don't work, not even the HMTL ones right now... if the HTML ones were working though, you would want to do this: "This is My Page":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/yourgame/wiki/campaign-we…

in Official discussion of wiki merging February 2008

I know I already made a plug for this feature before, but just wanted to add that I think this will a very large step in the right direction for the site. Amount of work vs. usability is always an important question for developers and DMs alike …

in Hi Everyone February 2008

Heh thanks Mandi, don't forget the Drow ;) Yeah, the homebrewed city-state island, is at least _tolerant_ of other, more "notorious", races-- I figure if Drizzt is one of the most famous heroes in faerun, and he's a drow, there has to be to some gi…

in In-page links February 2008

So I was trolling around wikipedia and the d20srd (www.d20srd.org) and noticed a pretty useful feature that seemed to be lacking on the wikis: in-page linking (or at least that's what I'm gonna call it). Here is an example: "Notice how this li…

in How old are you? February 2008

24 now, 25 in March. Does any one else find it interesting most users are early 20's to mid 30's? I suppose it's the logic of getting older and still playing pen and paper games. I played mostly in college, for example, but when I graduate, we al…

On the idea of downloadable backup: Wonderful idea! I was just thinking of that when I saw the announcement that there was going to be a restart and to back up my data. I thought: wait, this website _is_ the backup! @ Micah - I agree that the d…

in Linking DM and Player Wiki pages January 2008

I full support the idea of make a "DM only section" or have the page be able to flip from "DM only" to "Everyone". One of the reason for this is 1) being able to easily link things 2) player could then edit the page as they saw fit, while the DM co…

in Hi Everyone January 2008

Hey Everyone! I have to say this is such a great idea. Once I found this site I was completely inspired to move my entire D3.5 game (which has been on hiatus for the past year) to the web. Check out what I've done so far: http://www.obsidi…
