There are a pretty fair number of Warhammer 40K: Deathwatch games on the portal, so I kind of expected someone to have already requested this, but so far as I can tell, I'm the first. Chime in if you think this is a good idea! Maybe if enough people ask, we'll attract the attention of a kind and benevolent coder.]]> https://forum.obsidianportal.com/discussion/86/requests-for-new-game-systems Wed, 19 Sep 2007 01:29:36 +0000 Micah2 86@/discussions https://forum.obsidianportal.com/discussion/2634/stars-without-number Mon, 09 Jul 2012 09:42:58 +0000 Brass_Jester 2634@/discussions https://forum.obsidianportal.com/discussion/2022/campaign-calendar Sun, 10 Jul 2011 20:09:21 +0000 darkanglmarine 2022@/discussions

One of my players complained that details have been lost and they are refusing to add slots (Skills and additional weapons) but more so there are two features that are depserately needed:
1) A save and continue option. Either you risk lossing your work and having to start over again or you spend an annoying amount of time reopening your character to continue updating.
2) A Print option is desperately needed. Spend an hour petting in all of the details into a character sheet and you can't print it out. that's just wrong. More so because if you try to copy and paste, the format isn't viewer freindly.]]> https://forum.obsidianportal.com/discussion/324/attaching-a-pdf Wed, 09 Apr 2008 15:12:29 +0000 IceBob 324@/discussions https://forum.obsidianportal.com/discussion/2623/d20-modern-character-sheet Sat, 30 Jun 2012 11:10:11 +0000 revel911 2623@/discussions https://forum.obsidianportal.com/discussion/2303/similar-to-the-characters-tab-could-we-have-a-locations-tab Tue, 27 Dec 2011 21:16:32 +0000 AugustusGloop 2303@/discussions

In the forums tag in my opinion it would be much more useful if instead of the "creator" column there was a "last updated by", "last replied" or "last spoke" column, with a name of the author of the latest entry - it would make tracking the discussion easier (i.e. "if it's not me in this column, it means someone replied something")

Regards and thanks for an awesome tool!

Some games (e.g. D&D) have each new rules set listed as separate options (e.g. D&D 3.0, D&D 3.5, D&D 4E), whereas some (e.g. Legend of the Five Rings) have gone through several iterations of rules but are listed as a single link that encompasses all of them.

Would it make more sense to have "System" and "Setting" separated out somewhat? So, for example, D&D 3.5 and D&D 4e might be listed under System but the games could have "Eberron", "Forgotten Realms", or whatever for Setting.

I realise this might be a lot of work to go through the list and tidy it up (perhaps members could take over the data entry side of things?), and I'm not sure what implications it would have for existing campaign pages, but I thought I might as well throw it out there to see what people think.]]> https://forum.obsidianportal.com/discussion/2497/gumshoe-character-sheet-needed Sun, 08 Apr 2012 07:55:49 +0000 nodskou 2497@/discussions

However... The current way the gallery is set up doesn't allow for you to update, reuse or even find a specific piece of art, particularly as I like to repeat images like character portraits (as PCs & NPCs reoccur in the story) .

What I would like to see?

A single art gallery used for ALL art; including maps, character portraits and Wiki pages.
The ability to view and sort your gallery by different categories; (particularly) alphabetical, date, size, tag, file format etc.
The ability to update an image and in turn update all it's uses across the site.

I might send this request directly to the (awesome) powers that be BUT, I thought I'd run it by the community to make sure I'm not the only person who would appreciate this and if there's any other additional ideas we could include.

Thanks!

You could go even further and make these element user edittable for those of us with some html moxy.

The feature should be part of a user's existing account, and possibly an ascendant-only feature. The purpose is basically to enable users, particularly GMs - but just about anyone could make use of it, to interact on the site, particularly the forums, in cognito. For example, if I want to run a published adventure or an encounter with a dragon (or other monster/challenge/etc.), and want to ask if anyone's got tips on how to set up & run the adventure, it'd be great to be able to do so without potentially ruining the surprise. That's a very basic example, and I imagine the uses it would most likely find would be more significant, but I don't want to spoil any surprises.]]> https://forum.obsidianportal.com/discussion/2419/extend-ctrl-z-functionality-page-editing-undo-or-reset-button-function Sat, 18 Feb 2012 06:19:30 +0000 Beaumains 2419@/discussions
It might be easiest just to ensure that the relevant memory persists even through a page preview, but one alternative is to add a [Undo All Changes] or [Reset Changes] feature, so that one can just go back to the original without cancelling and reopening the edit page. Note that this is a separate idea from the page rollback feature requested elsewhere, in which a page could be reverted to a previously saved version.]]> https://forum.obsidianportal.com/discussion/236/edit-history Wed, 30 Jan 2008 17:04:17 +0000 RobJustice 236@/discussions https://forum.obsidianportal.com/discussion/1981/locking-a-character-to-gm-edits-only Fri, 17 Jun 2011 20:57:10 +0000 GunbunnyFuFu 1981@/discussions
