@NimrodYanai, I just added a new beta feature called Custom JavaScript, and I added you to the beta. I posted a Community Forum topic about it. After you Allow Custom JavaScript for yourself on your Campaign, you can add this JavaScript to your Ca…

in A Question about Fighters and Domains in 1st edition Advanced Dungeons and Dragons February 2022

Yeah, it sounds like the PC-who-would-be-king-someday probably isn't also a Fighter ... and the game doesn't have a problem with that. : )

You'd cook a roast ... that is impressive! And sounds delicious ...

Oh wow ... I love pumpkin muffins ... That's interesting about DoorDash. Do you have agreed upon rules/limits for the cost of each person's meal? I can easily eat a couple burgers and still not be full ... whereas, I know other people that get ful…

@Keryth987, can you give me a scenario where you would use the sorting feature in your game? That will help to ground how it should work. @Frak_Lou_Elmo, filter/sort by owner, noted!

@NimrodYanai, I'm not understanding how that would solve the situation where a Player that is Editing the page deletes or changes the section that had a hidden piece of HTML in it?

I've added it to the list!

in Checkboxes not working for me February 2022

@jodie, I created a test DST with only the checkbox html. When I tested that, the checkbox maintained the check on Save and Edit, so I'm guessing there is some conflict between some other part of the HTML/JavaScript that you're using and the checkb…

in GMs, why do you think your Players play TTRPGs instead of MMORPGs? February 2022

That's awesome that you have such involved Players! I've played in groups before where it was hit or miss whether they would even bring their Character sheet ... which had nothing more written on it than the 6 ability score rolls ... and the rolls …

Thanks for both of those! We have them on the list ... for "sort the items page by category", I'm thinking "filter by category" would get the same result.

Totally agree on Dark Sun not getting enough love. Some of the novels in that setting were pretty good. Anyone ever heard of the Red Steel setting (AD&D 2nd Edition)? It was a boxed set setting with this special metal ... red steel, obviously.…

I did a quick search and didn't find any mention of "Zyathe", so if someone is running a Campaign in that world, they didn't mention the name of the world in their Campaign.

Thanks for the heads up! I'll do some research and report back.

As to having a list of these ideas... I may have to go find some now. Or a generator. But even just keeping in mind "how do I insert something interesting here?" would help doing things like this. @weasel0, if you do find a list, or a generator, …

@DungeonMasterLoki !! We hadn't really planned any further updates for Items, but since there are multiple mentions here, we're certainly willing to discuss any proposals. Anything in particular that comes to mind as far as "additional support" fo…

in How to make part 10 A Challenge in A Drinax Campaign I'm finishing for A Friend? February 2022 edited February 2022

Can the GM add a group inside the PCs' forces that is actively working against them? Maybe the group has a different opinion about how something in the past should have been handled and have been disgruntled about it since then and have just been w…

@Abersade, thank you for noting that the question is hard to understand! Yes, I take your point about the rules actually being restrictive here. 5th edition feels even more restrictive to me than 3.5 did, since much of the spells in 5e are "for co…

I think ragnarhawk's idea of jump links to the GM Only section is the best idea here. You could even put in some fake ones to throw them off, so they don't realize which subjects actually do have secrets and which don't. : ) To make this a feature…

in Default Accordion item February 2022

The only thing that comes to mind is you can set the CSS on the div to be something like: #ui-accordion-1-panel-0 { display: block !important; } But that will basically keep the first panel "open" (aka visible) all the time ... even when you try…

in GMs, why do you think your Players play TTRPGs instead of MMORPGs? February 2022

I'm surprised there haven't been any replies on the question of "ways to lean into this ability of TTRPGs". Does that mean it seems like a dead-end question not worth considering? Or that ready answers aren't coming to mind? Or that it's buried i…

Ha! weasel0, I'm glad ragnarhawk said it first because I'm the same. No travel there, no travel back, no clean up, and all my snacks and books right where I know to find them? Sold! : ) I find the actual VTTs a bit cumbersome, and prefer "theate…

Cool! Really glad to hear your situation appears to be resolved. If the situation comes back up, please do bring it back up. I can't really justify putting time into it right now if it hasn't come up before, and there isn't even a current need fo…

in Returning after 21 years... February 2022

@jwbachman, welcome back to the table after your long absence! You definitely do not need a sub to play. The way I've played digitally is just on video confrencing like Zoom or Skype, and otherwise is exactly like playing at a table. (Others I thi…

@weasel0, thanks for bringing up that perspective. I appreciate the discussion! It wouldn't be any and all other people, since Friends would still be allowed through. You could Friend Request the member if you were wanting to contact them, and the…

@weasel0, are you saying that in an MMORPG you don't get direct human contact even when playing the game with a group of friends? Have you ever played a TTRPG over Skype or other video chat?

Ha! I had to google "shiny rocks ...". Apparently, I'm a meme dunce. @Abersade, that's really interesting about your son's Campaign! Just so I understand, from the Homepage of his Campaign: "Right in the right eye * (Accidentally attacked a Black…

Welcome Noah! Last time I listened to Critical Role they were playing DND 5th Edition, so if you're wanting to play the same, you could check out the DND 5e Campaigns that are looking for Players: https://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns?game_system…

@GamingMegaverse, to clarify, this would be a setting in a member's Profile that the member would choose to turn on if they were being harassed by another member. And the harassed member could turn the setting off again later if they felt the situa…

in A Question about Fighters and Domains in 1st edition Advanced Dungeons and Dragons February 2022

Maybe it's the difference between "found" and "earn rulership of". Maybe the Fighter needs to be 9th level to have the reknown to actually found the domain, as in bring forth from nothing, and have people follow the Character when there is nothing …
