Glad to be here!
December 2007
Hi Taurren! Welcome to the site! I always thought Gaming ADD meant that you started a game but consistently let it drop after 2 sessions. I have that problem, usually somewhere between sessions 2 and 10 (depending on how consistently boneheaded m…

What Voting Criteria do you use?
December 2007
Everything in the entire world that you use is artificial, so why grouse about it? Just because it's man-made, that doesn't make it arbitrary. This is called the fallacy of context-dropping. It's also characteristic of Platonic idealism. There…

Add 2 item types
December 2007
Is it possible to add a "belt" type of item, and an "amulet" or "neckwear" item?

Links to Member Profiles Not Working
December 2007
The links that appear next to peoples' votes on the various campaign screens don't work, they all universally end up on a "cannot find that page" screen. I'd like to be able to see more about the people that have voted for my campaign, it's a good …

Is it just me...
December 2007
The only time I *ever* hand out votes below 3 is when someone rates their campaign a 5.0 when it doesn't have anything posted on it, or the only post is: here's backstory, this campaign will start in 2 weeks. I don't care whether I'm in the top 5 o…

Another Introduction...

Hi, and welcome! You don't need a lot of HTML knowledge around here, and most of the formatting stuff is pretty easy.

Um . . . I don't think so. If anyone is calling my game a soap opera, they haven't told me about it.

Thanks for the plug, photoneater! You also might want to check out Cold Blood by Darth Krzysztof, he plays with me in Brave New World and I play in his game, both of which are chat based. If you're available Tuesday evenings, Darth may be intere…

Another Texan Gamer
December 2007
P.S. I have typed for a living for years, so typing speed has never been an issue for me, but I've played online with my brother, who does not type exceptionally quickly, and it was a strain. So I can understand that issue, as well. Another factor…

Another Texan Gamer
December 2007
That's an interesting comment, viz, because I think they *do* read more like a story, by which I mean "novel". If you can use real dialog instead of "he did this, they went there, there was a fight, so and so was hurt" method, it lends itself much …

Another Texan Gamer
December 2007
Hiya! I'm the GM of Chris' first online chat game, and a player in his game (I do the adventure logs for both games). I really have come to prefer online chat gaming, as well, I started with a Mutants and Masterminds game probably 4 years ago. …

Copyright Issues
November 2007
I've been trying to avoid this with my game, but I've noticed that several people are posting portraits and maps that CLEARLY come from other published works (as in, I can identify the source). Is this a copyright infringement? Fair use? I'm just…

Brave New World Recruiting
November 2007
I recently lost a player for my game (http://obsidianportal.com/campaign/76), so I'm wondering if anyone would be interested in joining my game. We play Thursdays starting at 6pm Eastern time. I think I have character creation rules posted on the …

Player Involvement
November 2007
I'm happy if my players keep their characters updated, and it was an uphill struggle the first few months getting them all set up on Obsidian Portal. Now, one of my players is using OP for his own campaign. He also occasionally adds stuff to the A…

Multiple Columns on NPC tracker
October 2007
Is it possible that the NPC list could be split into multiple columns? Would this cause a problem if an NPC has a long name? I ask because I have 60+ NPC's with my campaign already and no end in sight.

Can't Activate Account
October 2007
One of my players wants to be able to access the campaign stuff, but he can't get an activation email. Is there anything to be done about this?

Player Finders
September 2007
Get wired. I.e. play online via a chatroom. I prefer it to face-to-face for RPG games. There are various software platforms out there you can use, or you can just eschew them as I do and play from the hip. The reason I can write up such long, de…

Featured campaign updates?
September 2007
I wasn't sure where to put this question, but here goes: are you going to update the featured campaign/featured character spots on the main page? If you're too busy that's understandable, I was just wondering. I ask, of course, because I want my…

Anybody using the maps?
September 2007
I know just one map, if I use 1 per session I can delete the old one and add the new one, right? The maps are throwaways, they're not for posterity. If you eventually upgrade storage, I might add more, but until then I'll just stick with one at a …

What Voting Criteria do you use?
September 2007
I'd host my logs here, but after the nightmare I had getting Blogger to take the formatting on one post I didn't want to mess with it. Besides, I've been posting this sort of thing to my blog for over a year now.

Anybody using the maps?
September 2007
I *just* started using maps with my campaign, so I think I will probably try to use 1 per session and see how that goes. It saves me having to email them to each of my players, at least. What's the best file type to use? .gif?

What Voting Criteria do you use?
September 2007
I've noticed that very few campaigns etc. have votes on them (I've voted for a few, myself). So, I wonder what voting criteria the very few voters use. Mine are pretty simple: 1. Sections of the campaign filled out. Is there stuff in the Party…

Yeah, that's what I wanted! My question now is, how do I find out what the url is?

PC portrait thumbnails in wiki
September 2007
Does anyone know of a way to put picture thumbnails of the PC's in the Party Wiki (next to their names) similar to how they appear in the NPC Tracker?

Game-specific Monsters
September 2007
Why not just create pages in the Party Wiki for custom classes/feats/etc? That's what I'm doing. El Generico monsters can probably go on the NPC page . . . Is it possible to create a 3rd heading on the NPC page for "monsters"? This would probably…

Game-specific Monsters
August 2007
I think it'd be nice to have a section in the Campaign to put game-specific monsters. Not NPC's with their own names etc, but generic creatures that you've made up specifically for your game.

Hello
August 2007
Well, I don't really have so much to organize at this point that I really need the tags, but usually by the time you do need them it's a massive pain in the rear to go BACK and do them, so I thought I'd do it up front and save myself time.

Check out the new pictures! I did the pencil sketches myself. They turned out kind of orange, but I think I like the look, personally.

FIXED - GM Only NPC in Public List

I'm having this problem also, it happens whenever I have more GM-Only NPC's than regular ones.
