Hidden Campaign
November 2011
I agree about the ones that are closed to the public, as it were, should be labeled as such so people don't waste their time clicking on them and get frustrated when they can't see it, but I don't necessarily see how a campaign that has finished isn…

What Happen to Ascendant Member features when you cancel?
August 2011
You can avoid this issue altogether by just starting another game, you know. haha. I personally would not like to lose access to ascendant features. Why don't you have your players pitch in on your membership, so it doesn't cost you as much to ke…

I'll toss around ideas with people, too...especially if it's not a specific time/frequency-type deal.

Party Conflict, advice welcome
July 2011
I agree. If anyone here should be changing their character, it should be the "bullying" cleric. Perhaps the other PC's now form a distrust for the cleric because of his seemingly biased distrust of the rogue. After all, what business is it of his th…

2011 Ennie Awards
July 2011
Okay, I got confused because the link image on the OP Blog says "vote early" or something under it, so I was going to go do that...... GO PORTAL!

July 2011
I went to the link, but didn't see where to vote, just "apply to be a judge." Is it not a public voting thing?

Textile Help Mouseover
July 2011
Ooooooh, good one. That would be neat. Let me know if you get the help you're looking for on that....sorry I can't help, but someone around here will know how to do that if it's possible (or will figure it out, because it would be awesome).

Old School DM seeks PbP advice
July 2011
Madmacabre, I think group video calls can only be accessed if you pay for Skype features, but not the free version. You certainly can have group chats over skype for free, though, which is nice.

Happy DM Appreciation Month!
July 2011
Whoooooo! A whole month of appreciation! I didn't know that. Does it count if we're not currently GMing anything, but we certainly have in the past? Because it's not fair that I didn't know about this month when I was running games! Not fair…

Hidden Player Characters
July 2011
I don't think so. The only way I could see that working would be if he created the character (completely) and then you made it GM only. He wouldn't be able to do anything to it at that point (he could still ask you to change things though, I guess) …

Old School DM seeks PbP advice
July 2011
Fonklin, I've only just started in the PbP realm as well, but I don't see it being conducive to that style of play. It takes a while for things to resolve when waiting for people to post, and round-by-round hack-and-slash combat seems like it wou…

Damage behind or across the screen

Agreed, Arsh. That's just disrespectful.

Damage behind or across the screen
June 2011
Nice one, Arsh. I never even thought to consider whether this would be adapted part way through a campaign. Upon further consideration, I'm not really on board with the not knowing how many HP a character has. Maybe not specifics, like "I've bee…

In-game Politics
June 2011
Good list, Kenurion, just a couple of quick additions. If you're going for a Renaissance feel, the church should play a fairly major role in the political actions of the players (and by players I mean various political powers, not the PC's necess…

Damage behind or across the screen
June 2011
I don`t see a problem with this as long as your descriptions are good. It would be unfair for a player to not know that their character can`t survive another attack and not know that they should be running away, for example. If you`re describing the…

I like bread, too, Dusk. Obviously don't know what's keeping you so busy, but others can help out sometimes, my friend.

Adventure Logs

I just go to my character's log and make a new link, and then start writing. I don't really know where it goes, actually. Check it out if you want. http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/16429 Scroll down to "Brother Brandos Griffin's Histori…

Being technologically advanced
June 2011
My tabletop game is like Jon's. Our GM has a laptop (I can only assume he has it open for stats, etc...maybe a couple PDF books that he hasn't purchased in physical form) but mostly we do our stuff on a big gridded whiteboard and paper character she…

Adventure Logs
June 2011
In one of the games I'm in (Ruins of Myvolia) we have a couple of characters (including one of mine) writing journal entries (one is writing letters home to mom, which is a nice touch) and we link them to the Main page as separate sections so you do…

"Well Connected" Badge
June 2011
I don't need a badge to tell me if I have friends, nor do I need the prospect of an award to procure them...but to each his own, I guess. I'm with Dark.

Greetings from Pennsylvania!
June 2011
I'm just learning the PbP system myself (in a game system that's new to me, as well, in fact) and the hints in this thread seem to be bang on as far as I can see. You need to be a bit creative with your scenes, sometimes, as players may (though infr…

Hello form the Outer Rim!
June 2011
Welcome, Damien. I have never played in a Star Wars campaign (just haven't had the opportunity) but I'll give your site a look-see when I have the time. Just wanted to say hello.

I don't see that, Arsh. I get the how many comments and the amount of time since last posting, but not who posted last. I agree that this would be a good feature, and if it already exists, maybe I need to adjust my settings or something?

Game intro
June 2011
Sounds solid to me. Post apocalyptic is one of my favorite genres when it's done well. The (re) formation of society under different rules due to different needs to be met, old technology laying around that may or may not work anymore and people tha…

D&D 3.5 Rules Question: Bardic Music
June 2011
If you want to compare it to getting a song stuck in your head, consider it like a really simple, one instrument song that gets stuck in your head....and then the addition of a bassline, and then maybe a drum. The song gets better, but the instrumen…

D&D 3.5 Rules Question: Bardic Music
June 2011
I would agree. Stacking bardic effects is no different than if you knew you were about to go into a fight, and casting both bulls strength and cats grace on yourself. because they effect different things, I don't see a problem with this. In fact I w…

GM General
May 2011
Yeah, life is hard (and takes too much time). But we should count ourselves lucky that we get to have this pastime at all, right? And welcome, by the way, Raithfyre, good luck with all your endeavors here, and I'll see you around the portal.

D&D 3.5 Animal Companion rules (Skills)
May 2011
I conversed with another reliable source, and he agrees with my assertion that you would go with the "can't add more from their base numbers than their # HD" assessment of the situation. Take what they start with as "bonus ranks" if you will, and th…

D&D 3.5 Animal Companion rules (Skills)
May 2011
I have played a druid in 3.5 numerous times (and am in fact currently playing one who has a Jaguar as a companion) and I have never worried about advancing animal companions. I'm not sure if GM's generally assign them experience, now that you've got…

D&D 3.5 Animal Companion rules (Skills)
May 2011
I would probably read that as "animal companions can not be assigned more ranks in a skill than they have HD" so your 3 HD animal companion could not have more than 9 ranks in jump because you could not assign more than 3 to add to his starting rank…
