Hey Gnunn, what do you use for the maps in your adventure logs (well at least the one you linked to here anyway)?

in Help playing my character sought (3.5 Cleric of Pelor) February 2011

Well, for one, I don't think its very likely that a cleric of the god of healing would charge per heal, at least to their adventuring party, either they'll offer it because it's what they do, or withhold it because the recipient has done evil and is…

Indeed Twiggy, I wasn't trying to imply that you were against it, merely trying to reinforce our desires for recognition :).

in Duskreign Sulk Thread (Come pity the poor Duskreign) February 2011

That's rough Arsheesh, I missed this thread. I'm with Gnunn, a speech recognition program will really help you out I think (and if you have windows 7, it's built in, not sure about other versions). I hope everything heals up properly, and you're bac…

in Mass Combat, Avatar Last Airbender Campaign February 2011

I ran a fairly complex siege a while ago in my 3.5 campaign, and I came up with (with some inspiration from the 4e stuff in the Dungeon E-zine) a pretty cool (I thought) way of handling the battle. I treated it like a multi-tiered skill challenge (a…

If the author in question copied and pasted information from the source into their work, then they have no claim to it. However, if they took the time to paraphrase and cite their sources, it becomes their work, technically. With all of the helpful …

@twiggyleaf: I'm in the process of updating so this link was kind of hidden, but "here":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/melekar/wikis/game-status is how I kept track of everything TL. I printed the pages with the points and achievements so th…

in My players are overpowered February 2011

I know almost everything has already been covered, but just follow one simple rule. You don't have to follow the rules. ESPECIALLY when it comes to planning encounters. If your players are awesome and have made the "challenging" encounters into "eas…

in Saying Hello and Etiquette Question February 2011

Hello and welcome! Dusk covers everything pretty well there, just wanted to share my own experience with this. I stumbled across a campaign on here that was using "Melekar":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/melekar as the campaign setting for …

That's better than achievements because you actually get things. If you're looking for a brownie points sort of thing, Arsheesh create the prestige points system for rewarding characters for out of game contributions, which can be found "Here":http:…

in Should One Create a Campaign Page for a One-Shot Adventure? January 2011

I'm a little behind, but if anyone has anything they'd like to share with other DMs, I set up the "Fantastinomicon":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/the-fantastinomicon (which DarkMagus mentioned) for that express purpose. There's a little bi…

in Achievements in DnD January 2011

As the progenitor of this thread, and being one that used my achievements enough in my game for my players to rack up a couple hundred points (between 10-15 achievements each), let me say that it was really cool at first, but then they just sort of …

Hey there Panda, don't have anything to say that hasn't really been said already, but I wanted to extend my welcome as well. I can speak truly when I say this is the most helpful online community I've ever met, so you're in good hands! Again I say, …

in Embedding aYoutube Video January 2011 edited January 2011

Hey, I got it working on mine, but it's been so long that I can't remember exactly what I did. I remember it had something to do with the code around the video. So here's what mine looked like: ... repeat"> p(oembed). "video":http://…

in My new project - Gaming Music, a resource for GMs January 2011

LOL, i deleted my comment, cause it was wrong, and I couldn't see your comment on my non-refreshed page, so I suppose to make the comment above me make sense, I said his second Duns sounded like Indiana Jones :P

I'm pretty sure that seconds song of yours Rase was actually the Indiana Jones theme. :P

in BESM-Super Robot Wars/Taisen help January 2011

Another system that might work for you is Mutants and Masterminds. However, either one of these systems, you're right, can have major balance issues. If you max out super speed to it's highest limit, for example, you can travel almost the speed of l…

I think if you already know the history and you're just wanted them to act out parts, that can work if they know that ahead of time, but it might not be very exciting when they can't make decisions. However, if they don't know how things have happen…

in Congrats Duskreign! January 2011

Dusk, I have to say congratulations as well! No campaign shows how much work and love being put into it more than yours. I was happy to be in the running, but with competition like yours I wasn't really holding my breath ;). Congrats again, you …

Looking good dusk! Also, sheesh, those pauldrons are too awesome for you to get rid of them :P.

in If you could make your favorite show/movie/video game into a campaign setting what would it be?? December 2010

Burn Notice! How awesome would it be to go around framing bad guys for crimes they didn't actually commit (sure they committed plenty of other ones, and sometimes they actually do commit the crimes) so that they go to jail, in order to save people t…

That's looking fantastic Sheesh! I think my own endeavors are going to be put off until after the holidays, what with finishing Christmas up/cleaning up, and hosting one rad new years party, I've got my hands full :P.

I guess my question on my WIP is "can you tell where the light is coming from, and are there any contradictory shading elements?"

in The WIP thread December 2010

I didn't want to wait for you to finish your other drawing before I got started, I was just going to do it a bit to play around, but then it actually started to look good, so i wanted to finish it :).

Here's the latest "WIP":http://cdn.obsidianportal.com/assets/32061/wip.jpg Thanks for the tips arsh, what resolution are you painting at? cause my line art isn't big enough i don't think for that fine of detail (not that I want to go into that mu…

Thanks guys, I've been really please with how it's turning out, who knew I had it in me :). Haven't had a chance to work on it more yet, but I'm about to, so i'll update with another WIP when I've actually made some progress. Rase, a small island wi…
