in Plot, Or therefore lack of. June 2010

Yeah, an overall plot has its advantages and disadvantages, many of which have already been articulated above: Pros: * Gives a feeling of Epic scope, helps keep the players' interest, * Allows you to sow the seeds of later events early making…

in Plot, Or therefore lack of. June 2010

I totally agree with Broken Clock and Arsheesh. If you have world events begin to affect the players' comfort levels, they may very well allow themselves to get caught up in a plot, though, I would encourage you to be open about how that plays out. …

I definitely do this. My Riverside Complete Works of Shakespeare is one of my go-to sources for random NPCs. Two that I can think of off the top of my head are Phoebe, the bar-maid who appeared in my very first session, who was based on the characte…

To do side by side columns, you need to use the attribute. I have included some sample code below that sets up the page in a newspapery format. like so: h1=. HOLY CRAP A HEADLINE! Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisi…

in How-to: Custom Wiki Sidebar June 2010

The fact that you have to edit each page's sidebar individually is part of the reason I set up my system the way I did. I only include the sidebar on main section pages. On all the sub-pages, I use a simple 2-button system that will take the user to…

in A question for the DMs June 2010

In game, I've started using word to draft my adventure outlines. I usually plug in descriptive text, any likely rolls that will need to be made along with DC. I usually roll known npc checks during the planning process. (e.g. if a bunch of orcs set …

One of us! One of us!... er... I mean, welcome! Your site is looking good so far. I like the monochromatic color scheme for a Cthulu site. I also really like your use of old photo images. It adds a lot of atmosphere to your site. One idea that…

Gaaran, I've used MapTools in the past to make custom battle map printouts, and even some graphics for my wiki, but I've never tried the online management feature, though I've recently been bugging my gf to take it for a spin with me. The one pro…

BTW, if you want to try out some free samples, Fat Dragon Games has a whole page of "downloadable freebies.":http://www.fatdragongames.com/fdg_free.html FDG had some stuff in the Gamers Help Haiti bundle that got me rolling on this whole escapade. I…

Oh, it would be totally easy to make your own tiles! In fact, I made a really nice 2D oxcart tile for one session using a compilation of free images from over at the "dundjinni forums":http://dundjinni.com/forums/default.asp?C=4 If you have preexist…

Hardhead! That set looks awesome! Once I get my craft room set up and some additional shelves installed, I plan to start building more proper 3D set pieces. Hardhead has it right as far as the time commitment involved. It's really front-loaded wh…

Oh man, that Hirst Arts site is dangerous! but I agree, I would be hesitant about the issues you mentioned.

in Armchair Titans: Podcast June 2010

Also, their web site is just getting rolling, so the only things there are the main page, a photo gallery of their first session and the link to subscribe to their podcast through iTunes... which is the important part. According to my friend, Ian…

in Problem with Bulleted Lists in Safari June 2010

Yeah, looking at the code, I am almost positive that the error is caused by the textile shorthand. I can't test this at work, because I don't have Safari here, but my first recommendation is to try enclosing the headers in their own like so. Ins…

in Problem with Bulleted Lists in Safari June 2010

Could you post the code you're using? My best guess is that the image header may be interfering and pushing the first bullet off to the far side of the column... but I'm totally pulling that out of my tuckus.

in Help with Code June 2010

It's definitely possible, it'll just be involved and will take some tinkering. I think using either absolute positions, and/or layers for the overlapping graphic will do the trick. I am pretty sure Chainsaw will be able to help you out, because h…

in making column widths equal June 2010 edited June 2010

Ah! You can also enter a % of total table width into the cell modifier. eg. |{width:25%}. Cell1 |{width:25%}. Cell2 |{width:25%}. Cell3 |{width:25%}. Cell4 | | Cell 5 | Cell 6 | Cell 7 | Cell 8 |

in making column widths equal June 2010

I don't know if you can automatically make all widths equal, but you can definitely set column widths manually, by entering a {width:##px} attribute into the formatting for the cells in the first row like so... |{width:50px}. Cell1 |{width:100p…

in Getting My Campaign to Featured Status Level June 2010

Hardhead, Arsheesh hit the nail on the head for suggestions. Visibility and something that sets you off as unique are two big factors. The best way to increase visibility is to be active on the boards. That was a major reason I ended up featured …

Well, my GF and I have completed our move and will be hosting the first game in the new place tonight! We're still in the process of unpacking, but we have our priorities straight and got the game/dining room table set up early. I've uploaded some p…

in Side by side tables May 2010 edited May 2010

To align your tables along their top edges, you will need to add the following attribute to the opening div tag. "vertical-align:top" Margins are also fairly easy. You can place either 1, 2 or 4 different dimensions in the margin attribute. In…

in Music in your game May 2010

Yeah, I really liked the idea... unfortunately, my players took them all out in about two rounds. It played out "kind of like this.":http://www.youtube.com/watch#!v=Ui337e5D50E A fireball followed by a ranger with manyshot will do that.

in Side by side tables May 2010

You need to enclose each table in its own tag and use the "display:inline-block" attribute to get the divs to line up side by side. The basic code looks like this: table{width:300px;border:1px solid black}. {background:#ddd}. | cell 1 | c…

in Problems with ratings - official thread May 2010

Arsheesh, I definitely like your rep idea. I think the Cartographer's Guild has a good model to follow, if OP decides to go that route. As to 1-star trollers, the requirement to have rep before giving ratings could very well help solve the issue…

Okay, I finally finished up a 3-panel comic I've been working on, which reflects my inner feelings about the "pricing system":http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/WV-KJRVwID8Hy54LJYaXmA?feat=directlink for magic arms and armor in 3.5 ed.

@ Jim, I recommend a layer of rendered clouds with a bit of gaussian blur masked to match the shape of the walls as a quick way to generate a nice grungy effect.

Oh, another thing to keep in mind when shopping for a tablet is the aspect ratio of your computer monitor. My monitor is a widescreen, but my tablet is not. As a result, the default settings for the tablet made all my drawings appear squished on the…
