in Revising my wiki February 2011

Okay, that makes sense. Meaning, I understand it, not that I agree with it from a design standpoint, but then I don't make the rules. Any idea what would cause discrepancies between computers operating the same browser? My wiki renders fine in IE an…

Stupid forums killed my pretty html staggering :( Also, I discovered it was the padding attribute within the body content div that was breaking the alignment for some reason, which is odd since it shouldn't affect the outside width of the div. I …

in Mass Combat, Avatar Last Airbender Campaign February 2011

I definitely concur with Arsheesh on all points. I too have been making use of the rules described in HoB for my campaign. I haven't yet reached a point where I'm running full scale battles, but I did just recently run my PCs through a castle assaul…

Sheesh Arsheesh! That's awful! Have you considered picking up dictation software like Dragon, Naturally Speaking? Hmmm... now I'm wondering if pulling out my old Dragon software might be a way to take notes during my game. (i.e. record a whole fr…

Then this morning, I had an idea for a group of humanoid-devouring were-elk lead by someone named Donner.

OMG! I just had an idea to create a gnollish air pirate and give him a name punning on Don Karnage. Perhaps Luis Massacre or The impeccable Admiral Goerre (Pronounced Gore... but with lots of rolled 'r's) okay, that was random... but I totally sm…

Regarding the piroshkies, Craig Craiged the food, and the few remaining scraps are going into my lunch tomorrow. Sorry! They did get their keep and dealt with their first set of orders. They made numerous repairs to the keep, most notably fixi…

Okay, tonight's session turned out pretty awesome. The players who were there nearly crashed the airship they were on into a mountainside. Fortunately for them, they only wound up breaking a steering fin, bending their elemental binding ring and dri…

in Obsidian Portal wants to know... February 2011

Dusk: I too periodically paint little people -some of them dwarves, in fact! Bit of cost-saving advice, buy your primer from a hardware store or Wal/K/Target-Mart. Any matte spray primer designed for acrylic paint will work, and a can that costs $15…

or wait... were you trying to make a ubiquitous pie joke? In my game group, we call what I just did, "Craiging the joke" in honor of one of our players, who is a history buff. He tends to launch into interesting and educational explanations in r…

More like dumplings or gourmet Hot-pockets. My gf is from Nebraska originally, where they call them Runzas. You roll out dough, pile on ground beef, cheese, onions and cabbage (or whatever you want to fill it with), wrap it all up into a bundle and …

Dusk, The funny thing is, the two players who will be missing tonight are generally my most reliable attendees, which both adds to my frustration and my frustration over being frustrated. I think another reason why this seems to be a bigger issu…

Okay I need to revive this thread so that I can vent my current schedule-related frustration. First off, when I get into moods like the one I'm in now, it is generally because my logical, zen-like adult brain is fighting with my impulsive, childish …

in Base of Operations: Castle, or Airship? February 2011

Okay, quick update on the castle front. Our next session is tomorrow night, and the group is going to spend the first part of the evening laying out their first orders for the keep. We have been having a lively email discussion about some of the par…

in My players are overpowered February 2011

Oh man, maces of disruption are one of the best weapons in D&D. Basically, in 3.5 edition, any undead struck by a disrupting weapon would have to make a will save or be utterly destroyed (i.e. no vampires going into gaseous form back to their co…

in My players are overpowered February 2011

The only other thought I had after reading your description is send them against enemies with maces of disruption. (i.e. chance to completely obliterate the two undead PCs) Perhaps that is too mean though. Also, I think anti-magic fields might be a …

in My players are overpowered February 2011

Okay, first off, perhaps it would be helpful to know some things: # What system are you playing in? # What classes/races are present in your party? # What level are your players? # What happened to make them overpowered? Did you give out too m…

Dangit DM! I'm trying to read this at work! @Poutine: Yes, I had a toy penguin. But no, I did not actually have a sparkly wiener.

in Under what circumstances do you roll these dice? January 2011

Ah, okay! I now understand the direction of this thread... Please note, the story I am about to tell includes mention of adult toys. I try to keep it brief and clinical. One of the more amusing items that I created spontaneously during a sessi…

in Under what circumstances do you roll these dice? January 2011

I dig the dice and love creating in-game elements/magic items that could help &/or hinder the players depending on chance. However, I usually just use regular dice to represent those chances. As to stuff I've created... I built a corrupted tr…

DM, Our paladin, and in fact the whole group has a bit of the, "if it's evil, kill it now!" issue going too. It made for an amusing session when the group was consulting with a creepy looking sage. The paladin thinks, "creepy = evil" casts detec…

in Rewarding creative failures January 2011

Rase, it's amazing how players can become a bit boneheaded in their inability to realize potential consequences for their actions. My party's sorcerer once tried to discretely cast a charm spell on a high-level military officer who was trying to det…

in How to whip up a planned/ unplanned session in no time January 2011 edited January 2011

Our group meets two weeks back to back and then has two weeks off. This unusual schedule started because we originally ran alternating campaigns. I DM'd the Westerlands and in the off weeks played in a different game world run by one of my players. …

As to your specific question about videos. If I were going to center a video, I would enclose the video code in its own div tag, set the width to the width of the video and then use the "margin:auto" attribute to center it. example p(oembe…

in Should One Create a Campaign Page for a One-Shot Adventure? January 2011

I agree with everything that has been said so far. I too have thought about doing something similar. A while back, I ran a one-shot for some of my friends who were desiring a gaming fix. I set it in the Westerlands universe and wanted to use the adv…

in Base of Operations: Castle, or Airship? January 2011

Yeah, I came up with the wyvern rider scenerio after I already had the basic layout. Since airships are still a new technology in my game world, I didn't want it to be a behemoth like the ships from Eberron, so I based it on a Theurgeme from Stormwr…

Okay, I've already posted this in another thread, but my airship map is "almost complete":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/the-westerlands/items/zephyr I still want to tweak some things (e.g. add an elemental glow to the parts of the bindi…
