in Hello from Maine November 2007

It seems like you have the framework for a fairly dynamic cast of PCs, which is always really enjoyable. I would like to see more about them, personally- including names :P Aside from that, I'm not terribly familiar with Eberron. All I really kno…

Oh, I know what you mean. When I came here, my campaign was already 8 months in the running, so there was (and still is) a lot to go through and explain. I'll be certain to check it out. Since there isn't a user search on the main site, and the f…

Hello, and welcome to the site! Are you going to try and go back and chronicle old sessions, or are you just going to start documenting from here on out?

in ADDED - Campaign Subscription/Favorite Campaigns November 2007

bq. Also, would it be better if the profile list were ordered by last update time? This would push the most recently updated ones to the top. Currently, they’re ordered by when they were added as favorites, and it doesn’t seem that useful to me. …

bq. That is ridiculous, and would be ridiculous for most of the campaigns in the top 5. Usually they’re all pretty good. I think so, too. I've really gone over a lot of the campaigns on this site, and for the most part, if it has content, it is a…

I just want to chime in and say that while OP is not specifically geared towards play-by-play posts, I think that it really offers a spectacular resource for PbP campaigns. Any campaign benefits from an organized and mutually accessible area for cam…

bq. I won’t have time to work on it for a while, and neither will Ryan (he hurt his hand). But I’ve put it on the list. Right now, I am guessing they have bigger fish to fry, but they always get around to these things eventually.

in A character building exercise November 2007

I've noticed that there are a lot of people here who are fond of fleshing out there characters beyond what is immediately needed to play the game. So, I thought I would share a little character building exercise that I picked up from an old gamin…

bq. Soda spilling is akin to the divine. I believe it actually falls under the jurisdiction of the Luck domain.

Ha, yes! Thanks, that's really awesome! _Runs off to add campaigns to his favorites list_

That's an impressive statement for a gamer to make. Me, I just spill soda on the character sheets and occasionally get smacked for making castles out of d6s. Anyway, welcome to the site!

in Hi there. November 2007

Welcome, it is good to see that I can still make an Intimidation check work for me. I'm glad you finally started Blackthorn, because it gives me an excuse to further convolute Gilda's backstory. Anyway, welcome!

bq. Besides, IMO, the campaign blogs and character tracking are the coolest part of this site. That’s what people want to read (I think…). So, we all look forward to reading about crazy adventures in Almebezbik. I would argue that the fact that y…

Fortunately, with Eberron, you have a lot of material already ready to use, so it shouldn't take you long to have a nicely constructed page. Anyway, welcome to the site! Enjoy your time here!

in A fairly new GM here November 2007

Welcome to OP. I think you will appreciate the resources available- they do a great job of helping to create an identity for a campaign and also give you a great feeling of permanency. Also, it's nice to see another space epic pop up!

Hey there, you! I was wondering if you were ever gonna introduce yourself.

in Greetings from Dire Wolf November 2007

Yes, by all means, strongarm your friends and make them sign up here, too! Or, you know, you can resort to a more considerate means of spreading the word, but still. :) Anyway, welcome, and enjoy your time here!

in Ratings November 2007

I've noticed that seems to happen to me, and my boyfriend's campaigns as well. It really is sort of a sour experience, particularly since I don't really do all of this to impress anyone, you know? I really am on board for comments, though. Feedback …

Yeah, I think if things are to become public, it's only fair to reset everything. We don't want a bunch of bad blood to be started over something like this suddenly coming to light.

in Ratings November 2007

I personally would like to see a way to make ratings optional. I've never been a fan of impartial ratings systems such as what we have implemented here, and I would rather just receive comments on a campaign as opposed to a faceless vote- which, as …

in ADDED - Campaign Subscription/Favorite Campaigns November 2007

Something I would like to see is a way to subscribe to campaigns, in a fashion. You can add a user to your friends list, and all the campaigns you are a part of are listed in your profile. You also have a list that tracks all the characters you are …

in FIXED - Expanded character limit in private messages? November 2007

Currently, the character limit for a private message is 500 characters. I know that for most messages, that will be more than sufficient, but at the same time, I was wondering if anyone else found that it was a bit on the restrictive side, even if o…

in Player Involvement November 2007

My players have started to register, but I've basically been informed that updating my campaign wiki is something I'm going to have to do on my own. Between finding time to play, work, and their own campaigns, there just isn't enough time. However, …

in Player Involvement November 2007

Just how involved are your players in maintaining your various wikis? I got the impression that such things were mostly collaborative, with GMs tackling the bigger issues such as adventures logs and campaign data, while players maintain fairly fl…

in Activation Code not valid? November 2007

Thanks, we weren't entirely sure. Good to know, though.

in Gleemax Thoughts November 2007

I don't think they would ever do that. For starters, D&D player sites have been around for longer than WotC has even been publishing the franchise. Secondly, there is already a precedent for tabletop gaming communities on the internet. While som…

in Activation Code not valid? November 2007

My sister has been trying to create an account here for about a half an hour- she's currently logged on, but she is telling me whenever she tries to activate her account, it tells her the activation code is invalid. Anyone else had this problem?

in Gleemax Thoughts November 2007

I doubt they would try and buy it on that criteria alone. I mean, after all, MTG Salvation is widely accepted as being a more vital part of the Magic the Gathering community than WotC's own forum, but barring a certain court case, they generally hav…

in Why hello October 2007

I suppose it really is. Have you ever heard the old joke about the perfect girlfriend- you know, the one that, after you get done having sex, turns into your best friend, a Playstation, and a six pack? One of the few perks of being with a guy is tha…

in Game-specific Monsters October 2007

Technically, though, isn't a monster just an NPC? I mean, it's a character, but the GM controls it... I think it would be a good idea to have such a feature, but I do think that in the meantime one could easily justify using the NPC tracker to do it.
