in Hello from Nicole from "Tuesdays with Nicole" May 2010

The mouse tablet I use for all my stuff is a pretty cheapo one. It's a Genius brand... I think it's the 8" x 6" version, which you can find pretty easily for about $50. I would really like to upgrade to a bigger tablet when I get a chance, because 8…

"What kind of art do you like to make?" I used to be a prolific sketcher, mostly in a more comic/cartoony style. I have recently been trying to get back in the saddle while simultaneously shifting to work more in a digital format. I have done …

I recommend picking up anything by Apocalyptica. Nothing beats metal covered by four people on cellos for battle scenes. The Donnie Darko Soundtrack is good for exploring caves. I use the LOTR soundtracks as sort of standbys if I can't think of …

in Scheduling Issues? May 2010

That looks pretty cool and I definitely feel you about scheduling issues. For play night decisions I think Doodle would be very effective. Unfortunately, my group also has a dinner element to each game night and rotating play locations, so there are…

@Jim Yes, that code should center the text in the cell. bq. ==|{border:1px solid white}=. "Yadda Yadda" |==

Hey, that's Swanky! I like it! So, would you break out an individual page for each day or month? It looks kind of small to fill in in its current format

@ hardhead Another option you might want to consider for working around the lack of a calendar feature is to create a calendar in a Google Docs spreadsheet and link between your campaign and the sheet. That's what I do. Go to "this page":http:…

Another little FYI: The same thing goes for altering the text size in your tables. Oddly enough, you can alter the font in the initial table attributes, but to change it's size, you have to code the adjustment into each cell.

Bah... Morrin... Sorry. I misread your original post. No, OP does not support adding text to those tabs... but I agree, that would be really cool!

in Internal Borders on Tables May 2010

There is, but it's a bit obnoxious. basically, you have to plug the textile code into each individual cell. It's one of the limitations of the markup format. If you want to do it, it works like so... table{border:1px solid black}. |{border:1p…

@ Morrinn: OP already allows the speech-bubble style identifiers on maps. It works on mine. @ Hardhead: The zoom level issue has been brought up in several other past threads. Micah gives a detailed explanation of why they have the current limita…

Gadzooks! I didn't even know such a feature existed! Great... now my despair is tinged with distant hope, longing to check my laptop over my lunch break. Perhaps I will feel the soaring relief of a crisis averted... or perhaps I will be plunged …

in First Campaign as a DM not a PC May 2010 edited May 2010

Be sure to give your NPCs and even your 1 shot bad guys personality. This will make them more than just a hard to pronounce name for the players. I know in my campaign, my players will refer to the Drow sheriff they met in Fenwatch, or the ugly guar…

Yeah, I definitely have the player who takes a long time to decide his move... and then also rolls each attack and damage die separately. A couple weeks ago in our other campaign, his he announced that his character was enraged by a group of ene…

in Hello from Nicole from "Tuesdays with Nicole" May 2010

Welcome Nicole! I definitely enjoyed watching your first video segment! I try to create my own original art when I can, but I still haven't quite mastered my tablet, and of course practical game planning trumps the bells and whistles. Out of curiosi…

I agree printable sheets would be ideal, I know my players would not use them unless they could be printed. 4 of my 7 use printed versions of their electronic sheets at the table. I recently discovered an online character sheet that utilized the off…

in Artwork Copyright Question April 2010

Copywright law is an EXTREMELY complex and tangled web of issues, especially in the digital age. It raises questions such as, is a digital image of a painting the same as the painting? Does it belong to the artist who made the painting? The person w…

@Fiendish I love that you combined all your previous partial worlds into one big one! Sadly, I haven't done a whole lot of world-building since I was a kid, so if I tried that at this time things might get a little overly ridiculous. Also, I a…

Ketherian, Those are all fantastic suggestions and I may very well try to incorporate them! I actually have a whiteboard in the living room at my current place... but I only finally used it during a game two "weeks ago!":http://www.obsidianpo…

Ooooh! I like that idea... unfortunately, I don't think my girlfriend will approve of adding strapping mechanisms to the bottom of her fancy dining room table... Still, plex is intriguing, plus I know how to cut and polish it... if only I had a tabl…

in How-to: Custom Wiki Sidebar April 2010

Yeah, I'm guessing the reason the tables did that is that textile defaults to making tables span the whole page or the full width of whatever div container they are in. So unless you specify a smaller width for the table or its containing div, it wi…

@Sabotender This is a neat idea and I think it could be very useful for other things like adding spoilers, puzzle solutions etc. that you don't mind people seeing, but which you don't want to... spoil... for everyone. My only concern -from a d…

In addition to Sandman's method, you should also be able to put css attributes directly into the textile header tag like this: h2{color:white;other-attributes:and stuff;}. Example headline I agree with Sandman that the moving dots are a bit di…

@ Arsheesh I downloaded the Magical Society: Guide to Mapping. That book is dangerous! I can already tell that it is going to prey upon my obsession for detail. I think I need to keep uttering my mantra "Will this affect my players. Will this aff…

jemmasmum, My players and I are not parents yet, but we often reiterate our intentions to play tabletop rpgs with our kids once we have them. Two of us have also worked with kids as educators (one is a grade school teacher, and I worked in museum…
