"Uncanny":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/uncanny (an X-Men themed supers game using the ICONS/Fate system)

I was wanting thoughts, tips, tweaks, things to try, etc.

As you can probably guess, I'm going for a "comic book" theme with the CSS. I think I've finally cobbled together one that works, but I'm open to other ideas.

For example, I have no clue how I'm going to do a custom menu navigation, not even an inkling of a theme/gimmick yet. The only condition I have is that I want to avoid floating sidebars as my wife's iPad 2 tends to ignore them.

Encouraging comments of course always welcome! :)]]> https://forum.obsidianportal.com/discussion/2132/people-willing-to-make-my-op-site-look-pretty Mon, 19 Sep 2011 23:43:42 +0000 JaymesBolton 2132@/discussions

Is this possible with a setting, or does it require some html magic?]]> https://forum.obsidianportal.com/discussion/2163/possible-to-edit-main-menu-links Fri, 07 Oct 2011 20:33:47 +0000 Baro 2163@/discussions
My wiki site is here http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/q20

Any suggestions and educations on how to make everything easier to navigate and more efficient is welcome. I've also seen people having custom backgrounds rather than just the 8 or so you can select, how is this done?]]> https://forum.obsidianportal.com/discussion/2160/how-do-you-change-a-page-title Tue, 04 Oct 2011 16:56:01 +0000 nightstorm 2160@/discussions https://forum.obsidianportal.com/discussion/2149/help-with-website Tue, 27 Sep 2011 17:01:40 +0000 offtoruin 2149@/discussions https://forum.obsidianportal.com/discussion/2147/photos Tue, 27 Sep 2011 01:19:26 +0000 nightstorm 2147@/discussions https://forum.obsidianportal.com/discussion/2129/are-the-forums-section-free Mon, 19 Sep 2011 00:02:23 +0000 nightstorm 2129@/discussions I thought that sucked but took it in stride. BUT someone else on here said he never paid a membership and gets that feature for
free. Which is it? I'm confused.]]> https://forum.obsidianportal.com/discussion/1990/who-needs-to-be-ascendant-member Tue, 21 Jun 2011 10:23:16 +0000 Praesi 1990@/discussions it's always said that only the GM has to be an ascendant member, and all the players benefit from his membership.
Can anyone in the party be the ascendant member? Or MUST the GM be that party member?
I started a campaign, and in the settings I am the GM. Our 'real' GM has just signed up, and I`d like to promote him as GM.
When I buy an ascendant membership and am no longer the GM in the Campaign settings - will there be any problem?

Hm, I hope you understand what I try to say...

Thx,

I'm just thinking about putting the game into a format where other people could enjoy reading it (though I'm wondering if I care and if I do, why I do). Once the first chapter has reached a conclusion, should I post it up in the Adventure Log, dotting i's and crossing t's? Should I have a link to each chapter in the Adventure Log, each link leading to the forum for that chapter?

What do other folks do with their campaigns?]]> https://forum.obsidianportal.com/discussion/2055/textile-help-needed Thu, 28 Jul 2011 03:56:10 +0000 Baalshamon 2055@/discussions
1. I want to create a stationary sidebar to the left of the text. Something that will always remain visible even as you move up and down the page. I want this box to be to the left of the main page. As is I can only get t to go to the left side of the text box. Is this even possible?
2. I want to put multiple links in one image. An image of the five main characters in my campaign that will direct you to the character page for each of them as you mouse over them and click.
3. Lastly is there a basic guide for using textile someowhere on the internet? If so please share a link.

thanks for all

What does one do when a Player email address is no longer working?
Obviously all stuff is linked to that email address. Does the player have to go into his settings and change his/her email address or does the DM change it in some way (perhaps by sending out a new invite??)
I hope someone can advise me on this.

Example: click the letter B and it takes you down the page to the begining of the words starting with the letter B.

Does anyone know the coding needed to do this?]]> https://forum.obsidianportal.com/discussion/2112/page-link-confusion Thu, 01 Sep 2011 07:57:34 +0000 BaneStar 2112@/discussions
I have links going to pages that are not directly in the treeflow (programming) i.e Elemental Magic links to fire, earth, air, water. When I made the page for fire I link over to water, after writing it, I clicked its /new to make the page for water, but back at the Elemental menu list, Water DOES NOT show up? I figured it needed time to refresh or something.. logged out, came back.. no luck..

All of my cross links are NOT referencing.

Any help with this?

Is it possible with just using textile code?]]> https://forum.obsidianportal.com/discussion/2082/what-s-a-good-fighter-wizard-build-in-3-5-d-d Tue, 16 Aug 2011 02:14:40 +0000 BLACKSHAGG 2082@/discussions Kneffari Esskur GC (Fighter 2/ Wizard 6)
STR-18/DEX-18/CON-15/INT-18/WIS-12/CHA-9

AC-18 (+1 studed leather, ASF-15%) Touch & Flat- 14 BAB(after STR mod)=+9 Melee Weapon At. Bonus= +12 Ranged & Touched At. Bonus=+9
Uses a +2 longsword of spellstoring as main weapon & has Weapon Focus, Longsword as a feat.

Fort-7/Will-6/Ref-6 HP: 46

Has the following feats:
Combat Expertise, Dodge, Mobility, Spring attack, WhirlWind attack, weapon Focus: Logsword & Meta Magic Feat: Extend Spell

So...that's the basic stuff. Becaus eof his high INT, he has a good # of spells to cast per day & his spell save DCs are okay. I built him as an offensive (I like to blow stuff up) spellcaster who can get into melee if the fighter heavy party I'm in is having trouble dropping monsters...or my spells aren't blowing stuff up as well as I'd like them to. With Spring attack & Whirlwind Attack, I can dash into combat, & damage a lot of enemies...even If they don't fall...softening them up for the heavier hitters. Most of mys spells are offensive, bu I do have some cool buffs like Displacement, Critical Strike & Sonic Weapon. My best trick so far is to be displaced, cast sonic weapon (that's +1d6 for 6 rounds), then cast critical stike (which doubles my crit range & gives me a +4 bonus to confim crit PLUS another 1d6 of damage), release the 5d6 shocking grasp stored in my sword. The damage is something like: 2d8+2d6+6 & if I make my touch attack for the shocking grasp, +5d6. That's 94 pts of damage if my roll maxes. Other than his HP of 46...I'd say Kneffari's fairly bad assed.

That's all good and well, but what I'd like to ask you guys & gals is where should I go from here? Should I keep gaining wizard levels? Should I get more fighter levels? A prestige class like Eldritch Knight or perhaps Spellsword (which I've been thinking a lot about)?
I really lik ethis character & want to build him the best way that I can. So if anyone has any advice please let me know.]]> https://forum.obsidianportal.com/discussion/2097/communicating-with-the-players Wed, 24 Aug 2011 14:35:22 +0000 Topheratl 2097@/discussions
Right now I use the forum for all the players and send individual emails to each player if it is just a small group. There has to be a beter way right?

It all seemed to work fine for me, but my players all tell me they couldn't read the "Player Secret" bits.

I have definitely NOT ticked the "WHOLE PAGE GM ONLY" box.
Please reply if you have used this feature effectively. I have built it in as an essential component of my campaign!!!!
