in How does your campaign use forums? October 2013 edited October 2013

We use the forum for basically everything. There is (...was :P) a subforum for in-character role-play between sessions. There was always a thread before each session for figuring out logistics of the next session, be it food, times, where we meet, h…

Leonidas: I tried your idea of using a TTS (Text to Speech) program. I'll admit, at first I thought it was a silly idea. But, it did kinda work out, and my players were pretty receptive to the idea. I'll definitely have to download something (the on…

As someone nowhere near the top of the most popular campaigns list, I completely agree with you both. Those campaigns get there for a reason! They were my first introduction to Obsidian Portal, and they were partly what made me strive to work so har…

Ah! @Basileus! You have an official Quick’n‘Dirty CSS Fix thing going on! Yes, please add anything there, it is extraordinarily helpful having everything all in one post/place. Thanks for taking the time to comb through the forums and combine everyt…

@KillerVP: Great! I think that brings us down to I only owe you a half dozen drinks now! :P @Basileus: Thanks! A lot of these fixes are dirty... hope they aren't breaking things elsewhere in the campaign... I'm sure we'll find out soon enough. :P…

in Setting font size for an entire table? October 2013

That's how I learned! I didn't even know what CSS was 6 months ago. I read a few guides on Obsidian Portal, and then started Googling every time I wanted to do something. Making a campaign is a great way to learn! -Thorvaldr DM of "Tyellador":ht…

I like having all of my tables with no backgrounds and no border... or custom backgrounds: #content table{background-color:transparent; border-style:none;} #content tr:nth-child(even) {background-color:transparent} The second line will chan…

in Reforging Update? October 2013

@Mark. My apologies, I was trying to sound more facetious than I apparently did! I am far from angry. The point I was trying to get across was yeah, it's only been a few hours, and even with the few hours I've put in I've gotten _most_ of my campaig…

in Reforging Update? October 2013

Mark: What you may not realize is that my campaign hasn't looked optimal for nearly 9 HOURS! I mean... 9 hours! On a MONDAY! I've put in easily 3 hours of work and am only like, 85% of the way to getting my campaign looking like normal again! :P …

Tommy19, take a look at my code above. You may need to use the !important tag thingy... I'm sure it has a technical name. I had to make a few different things transparent until it worked. -Thorvaldr DM of "Tyellador":https://tyellador.obsidianp…

in Custom CSS Beta Discussion October 2013 edited October 2013

May as well throw my 2 cents in here. My campaign was very big on transparent backgrounds... and everything was laid out for a very specific size. The following CSS code almost has my campaign looking like old (...at least in regards to layout. :P):…

Within Obsidian Portal? Not to my knowledge. However, Google is of -great- use here. Use the following format: site:www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/(YOUR CAMPAIGN HERE)/campaign_forum_topics OR site:http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/(YOUR …

in The "Review my Campaign" thread October 2013

And as many others are worried about what will happen to their precious CSS after the reforging, so am I. I've been postponing asking for feedback on my campaign until it was better... but as I and my players worked on it, the bar for "better" kept …

in GM Tips: Voice Acting October 2013

Pencilneckgeek: I have been trying to do that a _little_... I like the idea of using gesticulations more. I could definitely put some more physical acting into my DMing. Killervp: Yeah, I just need to get better at having the name generator up an…

in How to Make Maps for Your Campaign (For Free!) October 2013

Much appreciated! I remember looking at your campaign when I first really started on Obsidian Portal and just thinking "Oh my god, what did I get myself into?" _Especially_ when looking at your NPCs!

I'm surprised nobody mentioned "Autorealm.":http://sourceforge.net/projects/autorealm/ It's how I made my map "here.":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/tyellador/maps/41307 It's a somewhat old program, but if you have any familiarity with CAD …

in How to request a feature June 2013 edited June 2013

It would be nice if the forums had a "Last Post" heading next to "Creator". Or possibly even write down the name of the person who posted last in "Latest Updates", so it's easier to see if the forum topic has seen any activity since you last posted.…
