in Flat Screen Telly! August 2013

MapTools lets you identify and program the light radius of any object (torch, spell, whatever). You have to specify where shadows will fall (which takes some work), but in the end, you get a section where - move the PCs and the area lights up within…

Sounds cool twiggyleaf. Did you take any pictures of the set-up? Did the map use lighting effects or the fog of war? I've toyed with similar ideas (only on a flat-screen monitor however) and love the effect. Have to set it up again soon for a…

in Public Character List July 2013

Just watched the video. Wow. It looks terrific. I especially like the little "bonhomme behind the screen" for the GM-only marker. At first I thought it looked like a chess piece (a pawn to be exact); both images work incredibly well here. I love…

in Public Character List July 2013

I really like the character tab, and I try to fill it with as many of the named NPCs the party meets or hears about. But being able to filter the list by tag (or some other classification mechanism) would be truly awesome. What a great idea. D…

in Creation Myths July 2013

I agree with StoryMaster. Detailing how people think the world was created (multiple versions of the creation history) is a great way to interject religion, culture, and a trove of relics into any campaign. It's not just deities that a creation myt…

HI Basileus. Thanks for the link. I added it to the post above and modified the entry for iMetalic. Hopefully, that's what you had in mind. The stonemason's Ledger is a very nice set of modifications. Love the background.

Cool. Thanks gaaran. Hopefully Quasimotocar (and others) will join me in adding stuff to the Fantastinomicon. :D

I'm not sure this is something that Micah could do with the site, but the users of Obsidian portal can use it as a fan-venu to push adventures, characters, etc. There are already a few campaigns that aren't really campaigns, like : "http://www.o…

in A few thoughts on theming June 2013

Very nice. Is there a plan to allow users to submit their icons/background/colour choices to be included as one of the publicly available themes? Most of the CSS in my own site is either derived or directly copied from willing users, so I could…

Hi StoryMaster. I'm another female DM. Sorry to hear you're getting flack about your group's makeup. I know 1/2 dozen female DM/players, maybe 3x that who prefer to just play. It shouldn't matter that you're a woman and a DM. And to those that ma…

*Throws hat into the ring*. I'm a technical writer by trade. So if you need help with fluff or bumph, let me know and I'd be glad to help. I'll happily trade characters for characters (I make one for you, you make one for me sort of thing), ditt…

in Map question May 2013

Hi Stephen. Have you looked at MapTool? This tool allows for lighting effects (like fog of war, and pc-carried torches). "RPtools website - maptool utility":http://www.rptools.net/?page=maptool

Sign me up. My current campaign (medieval mysteries called Signs & Portents) is already taxing my ideas pool. I will happily trade ideas.

Wow. Thanks sade. That bandit will definitely be showing up in a recent game. (Love the dreds!) I appreciate the limitations your under now that you've explained it. It's nice to hear you have such plans for your application.

Wow that happened fast! Stretch goals! Time to start funding the stretch goals.

in Character Portrait Generator March 2013

Hi Sade. What a wonderful idea. I was looking through your blog and noticed most of the women's shirts were revealing/tight. Could you make more closed-neck shirts, rounded necks (instead of plunging v-necks), and maybe fancy collars? Looser shir…

in Looking For A Gaming Blogger February 2013

Thank you for replying Cernig. You're right, your idea does sound cool. I've seen it work in the past and I really hope it works this time for you, as it's the type of site I like to visit. I don't have the daily time to commit to such a ventu…

in Looking For A Gaming Blogger February 2013

Hi Cernig. Your pitch, if you don't mind my saying, is a bit ... worrisome. OK, a bit of background. I'm speaking about your pitch from some experience. I've run APAs (Amateur Press Associations), worked for WorldCons, Sci-Fi and Roleplaying …

in System Question-Put it to the group February 2013 edited February 2013

Hi Raven_JT. Sounds like something best described on the site. I tend to surf pages that use the same base system as I'm using (so Pathfinder when I was running Rise of the Runelords, and now HarnMaster that I'm running my own murder-mystery campa…

in Getting spouse's "permission"... February 2013

I'm in a situation much like EverRaven - I'm a GM and he plays. We don't always play together, and I game more than he does; but we have no kids and he doesn't mind me leaving him alone a few nights a month. But we've been in a relationship for a *l…

in How to request a feature January 2013

Feature request: Page of broken links A special wiki page that always exists. It queries your campaign and produces a list of all the broken links it finds, ideally with a list of the pages these links appeared on. Similar to "the media wiki pa…

in New here, need campaign help December 2012

Hi & welcome. I'm not running a planscape campaign, nor can I suggest one here as I've only glanced at a few; and I'm not too sure what you want to see. Not all good campaigns create good websites; some folk just make stubs and others seem to f…

Belated thanks to you both KillerVP and Morrin. Two small items of note: first, I'm not a paying member. Which means, I have no access to backgrounds, fancy layouts, etc. I appreciate the advice along this line KillerVP, but until I pony up the m…

in Revealing NPCs Stats - An OP Incentive? December 2011

I like this idea Vantes. Granted, it is more work for the GM, but it will grow your website with interesting information that may come into play later. I think it should be expanded - change the information up a bit from time to time. Sometimes yo…

in Yet another Rise of the Runelords campaign... December 2011

Hi twiggyleaf. Thank you. I find it very interesting that, with one notable exception, most of the ROTRL campaigns I've visited (that are active) haven't chimed in here. I don't know if that means they don't read the forums, or what.

So, a year ago I started this thread. Since then I've not really done much looking, but here's what I found: "Other ROTRL campaigns":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/rotrllegacy/wikis/other-rotrl-campaigns If you spot any errors, omissions…

Hi. Is this what you mean? "Xene's diary":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/noblesse-oblige/wikis/xenes-diary If so, it's fairly easy to recreate most of the links and work in a wiki page that appears in the adventure log.

in Dynamic Pathfinder Character Sheets? Please? March 2011

After typing all that in, I remembered a few good things: * I love the overall look. * I liked that it was selectable and printable (did it once in Chrome). * Easy integration of existing text. * A field for everything and and everything in i…

in Dynamic Pathfinder Character Sheets? Please? March 2011

When I turned the dynamic character sheet on - it did a great job at parsing the text and image that was already on the page. I lost no data and I really liked the look of it. I found entering the information into the form very slow. It gave me a …
