      <title>What should I do?</title>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>3 and a half years back I&nbsp;was running&nbsp;A 1st edition Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay with&nbsp;2&nbsp;brothers,&nbsp;their&nbsp;sister and&nbsp;2 of their female and 1 of their male cousins,&nbsp;for reasons they won&#39;t yet me reveal we stopped playing but&nbsp;now we plan to start again once when Carona&#39;s over, but that&#39;s not the problem</p>
<p>The problem is that in The&nbsp;last session we did&nbsp;Fire in The Mountains, The Pcs&nbsp;destroyed The Bloodshedge and were lucky enough, in ways that&#39;s good to The Characters&nbsp;but likely to be troublesome for&nbsp;me, The Bloodshedge contained a giant&nbsp;treasure hoard</p>
<p>Even worse is&nbsp;that it&nbsp;included several&nbsp;magical goodies,&nbsp;prior to doing Fire In The Mountains they were&nbsp;only&nbsp;half-way through Death on The Reik and that several of these&nbsp;magical goodies are powerful enough to make a large part of the campaign&nbsp;very easy for characters with stuff this powerful. What should I do?. Here&#39;s the treasure hoard</p>
<p>The actual treasure was <span>100 Gold Coins, 9 regular and 1 magical bits of armor and/or shields, 5 regular and 1 magical hand weapons, 3 Magic Items and 2 regular and 1 magical bits of Jewelery that are all worth 70 Gold Coins</span></p>
<p>Rolls on tables that A friend of mine&nbsp;made show that The 9 regular bits of armor and/or shields consisted of 3 Sleeved Mail Coif, 2 Shields, 2 Leather Jerkins, 1 Sleeveless Mail Coif and 1 Platemail Breastplate and other rolls on other tables the friend made show that&nbsp;due to the quality,&nbsp;quantity and rarity of the materials they are made&nbsp;from they are all worth 9&nbsp;times what they are normally worth</p>
<p>Rolls on tables that my friend&nbsp;made show that The 5 regular hand weapons consisted of 1&nbsp;Sword, 1 Spear, 1 Mace, 1 Spear and 1 Axe and other rolls on other tables the friend made show that&nbsp;due to the quality,&nbsp;quantity and rarity of the materials they are made&nbsp;from they are all worth 6&nbsp;times what they are normally worth</p>
<p>More rolls on tables my friend made shows that the bit of Magic Armour was A type of Armour she&#39;d made and it was A suit of +3 Full Chainmail&nbsp;Armour,&nbsp;that means it that gives 6&nbsp;AP on all 8 body locations and another&nbsp;roll on another&nbsp;Table my friend shows that it has a very powerful unique Power&nbsp;which is that despite it giving&nbsp;6&nbsp;AP on all 8 body locations if it is worn by A Spellcaster it only increases The Magic Points Cost of his or her or its Spells by +13&nbsp;Magic Points per Spell</p>
<p>More rolls on tables my friend made shows that&nbsp;The Magical Bit of Jewelery&nbsp;is A Spell Ring that contains The 2nd Level Battle Spell Lightning Bolt and it&nbsp;holds 18MP, &nbsp;which means it can be used to create a total of 9&nbsp;Lightning Bolts but it can only create a maximum of 4 per turn</p>
<p>More rolls on&nbsp;Tables my friend&nbsp;made show that The 3 Regular(?) Magic Items were 1 8 foot long Enchanted Rope, 1 3-dose bottle&nbsp;of Potion of Healing and 1 multiple Spell Jewel that holds The 4th level&nbsp;Element Spell Summon Elemental Horde and&nbsp;The 1st&nbsp;level Battle Spells Cause Animosity and Cure Light Wounds</p>
<p>Even worse&nbsp;better is that&nbsp;The&nbsp;magical Sword&nbsp;had 4 powers and they were +4 damage type extra damage, Bane Weapon VS Goblinoids, Warping and 1D6 or 4 Runes that ended up as 1 Rune of Flight, 1 Spell Rune that held The 3rd level Element Spell Breathe Fire, 1 Spell Rune that held The 4th level Battle Spell Cure Serious Wounds and 1 Minor Death Rune that works against All Spellcasters</p>
<p>As well as which their are a lot of Goblinoid Foes in the campaign and with The magical Swords Chosen User having A S of 7,&nbsp;the minimum roll on 1D6 being A 1 and its powers of +4 damage type extra damage, Bane Weapon VS Goblinoids and&nbsp;Warping if its hits most foes will take at least 12 damage, Goblinoids will take at least&nbsp;24&nbsp;damage and the thing&nbsp;ignores all none magical armor</p>
<p>I also think that its worth mentioning that the reason that The magical Swords Chosen User has&nbsp;A S of 7 is because she had&nbsp;A Initial S of 4, she was&nbsp;lucky enough to start with The Very Strong Skill and she is A Duelist that was A Noble and has increased her S by +2</p>

      <title>What do you think of my Drinax?</title>
      <link>https://forum.obsidianportal.com/discussion/5800/what-do-you-think-of-my-drinax</link>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Shortly before Carona started my group had reached the part of Pirates of Drinax were Drinax was officially recognized as A Power in The Trojan Reach</p>
<p>After The Companion came out we used Skype to agree that Drinax would get Torpols Gionetti that&#39;s mentioned in the companion</p>
<p>My group have been doing RPG&#39;s for many years and we love&nbsp;Pirates of Drinax so much that we were on our&nbsp;5th Pirates of Drinax Campaign</p>
<p>I&#39;ll&nbsp;admit that we&#39;ve done those 5 campaigns over 62 months by having roughly 9&nbsp;months per campaign and a break of roughly 3.4 months between each</p>
<p>I&#39;ll also admit that&nbsp;we had at least 4&nbsp;sessions a month, played for approximately&nbsp;5&nbsp;hours each time and each month of our time covered between 4 years and&nbsp;6&nbsp;years of in-game time</p>
<p>I want your thoughts on it and The Deals The Pcs had struck. Here are the deals and Drinax as it was at the end of the last session. What do you think?</p>
<p>Also I&#39;m sorry about the initial mistakes about The Characters Starport, I&#39;m very tired&nbsp;and some of the information I initially posted was wrong and I&#39;ve since spotted another mistake.&nbsp;Sorry</p>
<p>Also I&#39;ve just realized that when mentioning the amount of real-life time we&#39;ve spend doing Pirates of Drinax I made the mistake of putting 5 sessions a week not 4 and that they each lasted at least 6 hours rather then approximately 5 hours and that I put between 3 and a half and 6 years of in-game rather then between 4 and 6 years.&nbsp;Sorry I&#39;m very tired and not paying attention</p>
<p>The deals The Pcs struck that added Planets to Drinax</p>
<p>Deals that my group have done in&nbsp;all 5, including this 1,&nbsp;campaigns</p>
<p>Inurin and Sperle provide Food, Bryni provides ships, ship-yards and soldiers, Tech-World gets 4 300 ton, 1 100 ton, 1 200 ton, 1 400 ton and 1 500 ships that my base will build, Drinax, Neumann and Tech-World provide Tech, Falcon, Albe and Neuman provide workforce&#39;s for all the planets, Wildeman gets A Small but fully functional Class-B Starport, Simok gets the civil-war ended, its rulers fertility restored and avoids The Imperiums wrath and Acrid and Argona provide the materials and miner</p>
<p>1&rsquo;s that my group have done in at least 3,&nbsp;including this 1,&nbsp;campaigns</p>
<p>Kteiroa&#39;s Ruler gets enough Land on Asim to make him A Social Scale 12/Territory 12 Semi-Greater Noble and his youngest son becomes A Social Scale 7/Territory 7 Greater Land Owner, Ogma&#39;s Raiders get pardons for the piracy they&#39;ve done, on Chalchiuticu we relieve population pressures, stabilize the economy, end a food crisis and help them get a decent navy, Albe gets the food they desperately need, their population pressure removed and a save and stable place for their surplus people on Chalchiuticu</p>
<p>Deals that this is the only&nbsp;campaign they&#39;ve done them in that I believe are reasonable, logical and make sense</p>
<p>Pandora by arranging for the treatment to save the life of its rulers daughter, Salif and Palindrome&nbsp;by arranging for the treatment to save the lives of their rulers, Hilfer by spending Cr 2 million of Water reclamation, Paal by giving them Cr 8 million worth of Luxury Goods,&nbsp; Exe by bribing The 100 Staff on it with Cr 10,000 each and Drinax gains Torpol, Clarke, The Planet Traefar that&rsquo;s in The Same System as Torpol and Blue by giving them enough protection to guarantee they will never again be threatened by Raider</p>
<p>The 2 Deals that my group have not done in any prior campaigns and I was so Impressed by how clever, brazen, inventive and daring the deals they offered were that I let them try to do both of them and they actually managed to pull both of them off</p>
<p>Drinax gained Cordan by ending the hostilities between The 3 Barons and they form a 3 way rulership, the way that works is that each decade is divided into 4 periods of 2 and a half years, during periods 1 to 3 1&#39;s the Prime Minister, 1&#39;s the ruler and 1 commands The Army and Navy, every time a new period starts The Barons swap roles and for The 4th period The planets ruled by A Civilian Controlled Government</p>
<p>Drinax gained The Alliance of The Zhodanni World of Pa&#39;an and did so by allowing agreeing to the following deals and concessions</p>
<p>The 1st is that Drinax will allow it to be a part of both Drinax and The Zhodanni Consulate</p>
<p>Drinax also agrees to give Pa&#39;an protection from The Imperial Authorities and to protect them from the kinds of criminals that target Psionics</p>
<p>Drinax has also agreed that all Psions, not just Zhodani Psions, within The Boundaries of&nbsp; Drinax have to be registered both with and registered on Pa&#39;an</p>
<p>And</p>
<p>Drinax has also agreed that the only facilities that are within the boundaries of Drinax that are legally allowed to train Psions are those that are within The Pa&#39;an Star-System</p>
<p>The actual New Kingdom of Drinax</p>
<p>Planets</p>
<p>Drinax had&nbsp;29 Planets that were spread across 26 star systems and 4 Sub-Sectors that were all in The Same Sector</p>
<p>Those 29 Planets are The Worlds of Drinax, Asim, Inurin, Sperle, Bryni, Tech-World, Falcon, Albe, Neuman, Wildeman, Simok, Acrid, Argona, Kteiroa, Ogma, Chalchiuticu, Albe, Pandora, Salif, Palindrome, Hilfer, Paal, Exe, Torpol, Clarke, Traefar, Blue, Cordan and Pa&rsquo;an</p>
<p>Soldiers</p>
<p>2.97 billion part-time soldiers equipped at TL&rsquo;s 8 to 12 and around 388.22 million full-time soldiers equipped at TL&#39;s 10 to 15</p>
<p>Civilians</p>
<p>Around 35.73 billion</p>
<p>Bases</p>
<p>1st</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s A Class-B Pirate Starport in The Wildeman System that&rsquo;s more loyal to us then it is to Drinax</p>
<p>Rolls on&nbsp;Tables&nbsp;A Friend made but won&#39;t let me share show that it has the ability to build Ships of up to 800 tons and&nbsp;that it provides The Pcs with a minimum of C 324,510&nbsp;a month</p>
<p>Rolls on other Tables&nbsp;the same&nbsp;Friend made but won&#39;t let me share show that it also&nbsp;has the ability that every 10th&nbsp;year it gives The Pcs&nbsp;1,200&nbsp;tons worth of free ships, but it can only provide&nbsp;up to 5&nbsp;Ships,&nbsp;none can mass more then 600 tons and&nbsp;only 1 can have a mass of&nbsp;600&nbsp;tons</p>
<p>Ships</p>
<p>Regular</p>
<p>The Characters 41 Ships that range from 100 tons to 1,600 tons</p>
<p>A Regional Forces Navy of 478 Ships that range from 100 tons to 900 tons</p>
<p>Ogma&#39;s 17 former Fleets of Pirate Raiders that individually each had between 4 Ships and 21 Ships and had a total of 216 Ships that range from 100 tons to 800 tons</p>
<p>A Starguard Navy of 68 Ships that all range from 100 tons to 1,400 tons</p>
<p>Tech-Worlds 4 300 ton, 1 100 ton, 1 200 ton, 1 400 ton and 1 500 ton Ships, all of which they paid to have build at The Pcs Class-B Pirate Starport</p>
<p>The Traefar flotilla of 13 10 ton, 6 20 ton, 3 30 ton and 1 40 ton Fighters, as well as 5 100 ton, 3 200 ton and 1 300 ton armed small craft, 4 200 ton, 2 100 ton and 1 400 ton Belter Ships and 4 200 ton, 2 100 ton and 1 400 ton Mining Ships</p>
<p>Capital Ships</p>
<p>The 1 and only</p>
<p>Going by The Official rules it isn&rsquo;t A Capital Ships but in our Traveller Universe it&rsquo;s the smallest Capital Ship ever build</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s the 35,000 ton Gionetti class light cruiser that has been stationed at Torpol for 69 years and which Drinax arranged to be given The Capacity to make Jump 1 type Jumps</p>
<p>Also</p>
<p>All in all getting to that point in The Campaign took a total of 36 years, 9 months, 3 weeks and 3 days</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>I just discovered this tool and had to share with you guys: Owlbear Rodeo:<br /><br /><span><span id="youtube-OE_o8bpWQA0"><span><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=OE_o8bpWQA0"><img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/OE_o8bpWQA0/0.jpg" width="640" height="385" alt="image" style="border: 0px;" /></a></span><span></span></span></span><br /><br /><br /><br />It&#39;s a D&amp;D whiteboard which is incredibly simple to use, way simpler than roll20 for example. It has a shared dice tray, shared audio, importable icon and maps, and best of all: fog of war.</p>
<p>I just tried playing around with it and it is very simple. it will be replacing both my jamboard and watch2together tools for my games</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Hi all, I want to get the players to use the portal more and add stuff themselves. I have been told that there is a 37% more chance of players with secrets to be active so I would like to brainstorm with you ways to use the player secrets in game.<br /><br /><br /><br />Until now I have just played with secret stuff openly, trusting my players to roleplay appropriately or the player to share the secret with the team relatively quickly. For example, one player has a mask that talks to his mind urging him to put it on in battle (it is a somewhat bloodthirsty mask). I just do this openly. Should I just text the player in game and then put the info in the secrets? I kinda already have my hands full DMing than to go and text players individually all the time. (we play over google hangouts)<br /><br /><br /><br />I have another player that lost his arm sacrificing it to gain a warlock patron, and now the arm is regrowing back, but differently. I am using the player secrets to keep the player informed on the growth before games.&nbsp;<br /><br /><br /><br />I still find it a bit hard to envision how I can use this best, it seems I am putting stuff in for them they could&nbsp;well be public or just told to them. What have you guys used it for and how have you guys gotten players to add more? I would&nbsp;love to hear any and all ideas on creative use of the player secrets box.<br /><br /><br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />Frak</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Anyone else have a problem with horny players? Like, I dont mind a bit of out of immersion snark and I get that romance (the bard) and prostitution (the rogue) happens, but last week my group&#39;s paladin got all horn dog on the quest giving NPC and the cleric had to smack him upside the head twice. The second time I told him that he was breaking his paladin vows and risks loosing his spells for the day. I dont want to cut out the joking around but sometimes I just cant.<br /><br /><br /><br />anyway, to blow off steam I meme&#39;d it.&nbsp;</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>I have a few short animations of locations that I&#39;d like to include as illustrations in the write-ups. I have them in MP4 format, and I&#39;d love to set them to automatically play and loop. Is this possible?</p>
<p>(I also have them in animated GIF format, but in much, much lower resolution, so naturally I&#39;d rather use the MP4 if it can be done.)</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>I&#39;m wondering if the functionality I&#39;m looking for is possible with Obsidian Portal.&nbsp; When I create a wiki entry, it&#39;s largely an open text field.&nbsp; On another world building website I&#39;ve seen where you essentially have templates, e.g. NPC, Town, etc. that have pre-built&nbsp;sub-headers depending on the type of entry you&#39;re making.&nbsp; For example, for an NPC maybe there&#39;d be sub-headers like appearance, goals, affiliations.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Is something like this possible with Obsidian Portal?</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>I&#39;ve been enjoying the Secrets feature to have private conversations and share confidential information with my players and wondering if there are additional improvements to this capability on the roadmap? I&#39;d love a way to have a nested/threaded conversation in them. Right now I&#39;m using alternating text colors for responses, but it is a bit clunky. Or is there better way to do what I&#39;m doing with them?</p>

<p>Also curious if there&#39;s any new VTTs worth knowing about? I know roll20, Fantasy Grounds, d20Pro and Maptool are probably the big ones but I&#39;ve not really been keeping abreast of new developments if there are any worth knowing.</p>

Among other things I use the media library for stat blocks for encounters and generally a lot of things that my players shouldn&#39;t know about. I have not been able to find any option for clicking DM only there.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Can anyone help me?&nbsp;</p>

<p>Just an annoying bug using a GURPS SHEET. In just one of my characters, I can&#39;t register a &quot; Role/Occupation&quot;. It&nbsp; resets to &quot;Edit&quot; when I save. It&#39;s just this one character, but it&#39;s a huge sheet, I don&#39;t wanna do it again :) Tried on Chrome and Firefox.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>The new SECRETS section now added to the campaigns is amazing.&nbsp; I had never thought how handy it would be to have a general list with links, but now that I see it, I am WAY IMPRESSED!&nbsp; It&#39;s got a great breakdown as well, letting us see instantly whether it is a Wiki GM ONLY page, a Character GM ONLY page, or a Player Secret.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>Wonderful!</p>
<p>Thanks Devs!</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>My cmapaign series is multigenerational so there is a lot of crossover of NPCs and sometimes player groups run into each other. I have a dim recollection of the ability to set a PC up so that it shows as an NPC on a separate campaign. Now this is pre-Reforge, much less current stuff so I guess I&#39;m asking is &quot;can this be done now&quot;?&nbsp;</p>
<p>Was it a late night fever dream? A moment of clarity? Or am I getting old?&nbsp;</p>
