How do i removed this behavior?

Thanks!

We are gearing up for our Star Wars Edge of the Empire campaign and I wanted to keep our campaign public so that friends that are not players who wanted to keep tabs of what is going on (or anyone else directed their from my video recaps). I know that if I am not logged into an account that I cannot see the forums but I was curious as to if someone who has an account but isn't an invited player can see the forums. Additionally, if people with an account but are  not players can see the forums is there a way that I could allow them to see the forum but not be able to post (or is that already a thing by default)?

Tales from the Krayt Fang

I started watching some Matt Colville's 'Running The Game' series and it really changed the way I look at how to run D&D, for the positive. Then somehow found the 'Angry GM's column with regards to pacing and narration, and... holy crap. I feel like the games I'm running now are WAY better than they were before. We're all stressing less and just having more fun. Matt is very cerebral, addresses topics like writers do (ie: verbose, but the answer is also very thorough). Angry cuts to the chase, spells it all out plainly, simply, and makes some points with some raw humor (very practical EXCELLENT advice, also abrasive)

The Angry's column 'Running Combat Like A Dolphin' has forever simplified combat, and really ratcheted up our fun.

Matt's video on Vecna really provoked a lot of thought on what sort of rules monsters follow for abilities and what not, changed the way I build out my encounters.

Where do you turn? If you could have one place to go, one thing to read, that you think every GM should see, what would it be?

Name: Fates of Madness - An RPG Card Game

What is it?

Fates of Madness is a rules-lite cooperative card game with challenging playability. This horror themed adventure is based on the Gothic Campaign Compendium project and is the first joint project between Legendary Games and Mythica Gaming.

Check it out here:



https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/legendarygames/fates-of...



You'll find seven scenarios and six monsters that four adventures will have to succeed using skill checks, combat, and spells. Fate cards and madness can have surprising outcomes. Will any of the players survive or will the game end in a total party kill?



Six characters to choose from with more planned as stretch goals this game plays up to five players using an optional GM or play it solo!



Dozens of equipment, potions, and treasure cards allow the adventurers to prepare for the ultimate battle with the boss monster!



A selection of sinister boss monsters awaits the party in an ever-harrowing destiny!



The Kickstarter ends July 9th 2018.

Now what if, put on your sparkly gnomish thinking caps with the spinning propeller for a moment here, what if Obsidian Portal was so tightly integrated with Roll20 that it would appear as a single site/service with the combined features of both? Of course, the integration would only be enabled for PAYING customers but it might be enough to encourage many free users -- of both sites -- to pony-up and subscribe.

Ok, I'm taking my cap off now, but what do you think? Could it be a "greater than the sum of its parts" idea or has someone already suggested this and I just missed it?

Questions/Requests

Toolbars: Are the toolbars going to be customized to only present the valid options? Unless things have changed we can't use iframes, and form elements within our pages and having all these extra elements makes the UI clutered and a little confusing.

Inserting a Link: When inserting a link there is no place to set the display text. I figured out that if you type your display text, highlight and then hit the link button it will use the text you highlighted, but changing the url to the link text after inserting removes the link. Am I missing something on the Link Popup or does this need to be an enhancement request?

Linking to OP Pages: I can't find anyway to insert a Character or Wiki Page like the buttons in the Textile Editor that brought up a list of characters or wiki pages. Is this a planned enhancement?

Character Editor: Is the CkEditor going to be available on the character pages? Even though my campaign is set to use the CkEditor the Character page is still using the Textile editor. 

Thoughts and Comments

Overall I really like the new CkEditor and in actual use I have not run into any issues with it. For a first round of implementation I think the OP team did a great job with this and have renewed hope that this is the kind of rollouts we will get in the future where things work. I am willing to accept things being pushed out working and than having features added to them overtime instead of waiting for everything to be done or rushed out changes that break things.

I am interested in hearing what others experiences with the new editor have been and what tips and tricks that my have come across.

Again thanks to the OP development and support teams for this long awaited enhancement as it has gone a long way to restoring my faith in continuing to use OP for my campaigns going forward.

Thanks in advance.

So, if everyone could take a look and elt me know what they think, I'd preciate it

My name is Samcart3r29(real name David wicks),I am 45yr old & I would like to join your server & if there is a Tribe that is looking for team player that plays about 12hrs a day then hit me up. I have payed Ark & have so many hours in that, I am also playing Tera.

I would really love to find a home on Conan & would ,love to grow wit a good tribe

This is the 2nd time where one of my players created a new forum post, and I didn't know about it until I logged on my website a few days later. I confirmed with my player "Email All" was checked both times.

Thanks.

Does anyone know if I can force a Campaign to be created using the old approach? I like to edit and save material offline and upload when I'm ready, and this new approach doesn't appear to permit that.

Anyways, I was wondering if people had any time travel plot lines they think are fun/interesting?

ENGINEERED REDUNDANCIES talent in the second use of using mechanics to heal, allows to replace surgery for recovery of serious and critical injuries? 

I want to start off by thanking all of you that have stuck thru with us. I know it's been a rocky road, and while I am a fan of off-roading...this particular ride has been a doozy. We appreciate all of you and we are working on getting someone on staff that can work within the infrastructure that OP was built on.

I'm doubling this is as a courtesy post to acknowledge that the site has gone down yet again, it will be back up in the next few hours. We have isolated this issue that continues to take the site down, but it's going to take a bit longer to correct it. We did have someone we thought could handle this change for us, though it turns out to have been a dead end.

We are not giving up and are in the process of looking for a developer that can help us correct the bugs and of course roll out new features and changes that we're all eager for. 

That being said, I would like to use this thread to discuss two things.

1. Bugs that need to be corrected

2. New features that are needed/wanted

The first point obviously being the most important and I would appreciate help on which are most urgent so we can address the biggest concerns first.

I'll kick if off by addressing what I know needs to corrected at this time.

1. Notifications

These were working for the calendar and forum posts, are both down again? Please clarify so we know where to look and apply a fix.

2. Maps not processing

According to the logs these are processing but at a very slow rate...and could sometimes take hours, the infrastructure is big enough to handle the background processes like this, but because the map upload feature uses a queued system and there are maps that take longer than others to load, this creates a "traffic jam" if you will and so the maps take longer to actually appear once they're uploaded as they are waiting for other maps to finish loading. To correct this we will likely need to change the algorithm which isn't a quick mod, so in the meantime please try to be conservative with the size of the maps you choose to upload.

3. Tags and Search

We did isolate the issue and according to our tech team it has been corrected but we are still monitoring it at this time, is this something that is still creating problems?

4. Media Library - The sub folders

I did some testing myself on this issue and noticed that sub folders were acting wonky when loading certain images into deeper level folder structures, we have this on our radar but will need a talented developer that understands the infrastructure OP is built on in order to fix it.

Those are our top four for the moment...well five if you count the changes that need to happen to prevent the site from randomly dipping out.

I'll continue to drop in here so that we can further discuss changes to the site that need to happen

Again, huge thanks to everyone that has stuck with us thru the year, we appreciate you so much!

Welcome to 2018!

1. Anyone have a existing magical college I can steal? Or know of an existing literature one that would work? Looking to put one into an urban medieval fantasy campaign I am designing. Looking for history, courses, general "fluff" stuff for it.

2. Anyone have a good magical college map I can steal?  Or know a really cool existing college that would fit inside a city? The city is very stone gothic style architecture so would would appreciate something of that nature. 

Thanks for the help!
