in Guest Blogger Articles: Musical Lairs: Using music and sound in your campaign December 2009

Yeah, music does occasionally prove too distracting for my players too. However, I am much more likely to send a wandering monster around in response to endless Family Guy and Futurama quotes than I am as a result of someone recognizing the source o…

in Guest Blogger Article: My Dearest Emma: Letters from home and abroad. December 2009

@bevinflannery: My, what a twisted thread you weave! I love it! Also, on a side note... your illiterate barbarians episode reminds me of a recent development in a campaign in which I'm currently playing a wizard. Our group's barbarian has asked m…

in Looking for a resource to create custom emblems for my campaing December 2009

There are a couple of free online generators that use traditional heraldric elements. You can always try those for a quick fix, but I find them a little unsatisfying for use in a fantasy realm. I prefer to just Google the elements I want to include …

in Global CSS, Please December 2009

I had an idea that might provide a temporary fix, and which might be useful for other purposes as well. What if we had a "GM clipboard" which appeared below the GM Only section on each page? Unlike the GM Only portion of an individual page, the info…

in A Totally Unofficial Help & Tips FAQ December 2009

@ Micah, The number of topics is not a big deal. I was mostly just pointing it out, because I suspected that the discrepancy might be linked to the errors that popped up when Chain and I tried to edit the initial posts on the threads we started. …

in A Totally Unofficial Help & Tips FAQ December 2009

Yeah, I just got the same error when trying to reactivate the link in my sidebar how-to thread. I also noticed that my account tab on the forum does not identify me as having started any threads, so I suspect you guys are on to the cause.

in "Evil campaigns" December 2009

Yeah, our DM specifically referred to the young mindflayer as akin to the guy from Saw. Oh, she also totally took maximum advantage of our party's tendency to sleep with the tavern wenches in every village we entered. Early on in the campaign, we we…

in Campaign Planning December 2009

In my campaign, I had the overall problem that I wanted solved which looms in the background of the characters' world. It is something that obviously needs to be dealt with. However, while the characters have recognized this overall objective, I …

in Question about map zoom December 2009

I have heard that greater levels of zoomage come with ascendant status. Were all the folks you checked out Ascendant members? I know Pursuit of Destiny is.

bq. 4. Trap the PC party in an impossible situation where the demise of at least one PC is imminent. The DM in the evil campaign I played in did just that. In the form of a puzzle dungeon that was the domain of a young mindflayer: The mindflay…

in How do I do this? December 2009

Well, when you're editing a page, you basically put it in near where you want it to show up. If you want it at the top of your page, put it first, before any text. If you want it at the bottom of the page, put it last. If you want it somewhere in th…

in How do I do this? December 2009

Placing pictures is much the same as placing text. My preferred method is to use html to align the picture on the page using div tags same as aligning text and then to insert the picture using textile. The page editor has a new schmancy picture ints…

in A Totally Unofficial Help & Tips FAQ December 2009

I will say that Chain's own D&D Tools and Wiki Templates served as the jumping off point for my experiments in formatting! I'll have to peruse these other links to see what I can learn.

Funny you should ask Kera. Just this weekend I posted a "how-to":http://forums.obsidianportal.com/forums/5/topics/1163 for creating sidebars over in the Help and Tips forum. Hopefully checking that out can get you started. If you have more specific …

I'm glad you like it! I know at least "one user":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/dream-seekers/wikis/main-page has already put it into practice.

I believe RPTools "MapTool":http://www.rptools.net/index.php?page=tools has a lot of the online functionality you may be looking for... and it's free! I use it quite a bit for drawing battle maps, but have never tried out it's virtual tabletop funct…

in Achievement System December 2009

Tessa, I think that creating a wiki page called "Player Achievements" or something to that effect, that is linked to your main page would be really cool! Off the top of my head, I think it would at least be a good way to keep track of your player…

I got a request to write-up a how-to guide for creating a navigation sidebar similar to the one on my campaign's wiki. Well, I whipped one up that is available as a pdf for viewing and download at the url below: "http://docs.google.com/filevie…

in Grouping for NPCs December 2009

I would be happy to work up some how-tos! I could probably whip one up on the navigation sidebar and/or table-creation that I use a lot to bring a bit of flashiness and ease of reading to my pages. I was actually thinking about doing just that anywa…

I recommend you check out the "Cartographer's Guild":http://www.cartographersguild.com/ They have a lot of forums and recommendations for mapping resources (both free and paid.) Being the cheap-skate that I am, I have been using a mix of "Gimp…

in Grouping for NPCs December 2009

I agree that grouping for NPCs would be useful. Until an official feature is available, you may consider creating an NPC "index page" in your wiki that lists them by group. I have been meaning to do just that with my NPCs, but haven't yet. I _did_, …

I agree with raohthekenoh that it is important to use smart character design choices when playing an evil campaign. I participated as a player in one such campaign, which worked out very well. Our DM emphasized that we were evil, not Chaotic stup…

Aww... crap. I was going to try to post the code here, but that obviously didn't work. Well, here's a link to "my main page":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/the-westerlands/wikis/main-page to see what it looks like.

in Sidebar November 2009

I agree that a sidebar option would be very useful, especially for navigation within a given campaign's wiki. I have created a stopgap example that I try to add to each of my major section pages. Unfortunately, I currently have to code it in to each…
