Meh, not as good as Queen...

I saw the tweet on updates that occured on the weekend - any chance of a release notes page?

I tend to agree. In settings where there are strict definitions of good and evil, and the majority of problems are solved with violence - the only difference to the players will be choice of whom to kill.

ChainsawXIV - I've basically used all your javascript as there are calls to create areas for the dynamic list creation text inputs- but I've removed the pips and tabs. Works fine currently - "DWAITAS sheet":http://www.obsidianportal.com/dynamic_she…

malfunction84 has one in the list of DSTs - is that not yet submitted?

Excellent! That's what they're for :) The bar shown for a campaign is also the ribbon for a medal. Bars are used when you have too many medals ...

The concept I'm most proud of is the Campaign Ribbon for roleplaying - a little PHP script that generates a unique ribbon based on campaign information- "Campaign Ribbon Creator":http://www.curufea.com/Wikka/uploads/GamerBadges/ribbon.php

I thought that possibly GlaDOS just gets annoyed with all humans and chucks a hissy fit at those times.

Congrats! I expect to see you wearing a T-Shirt with your SquidGirl art on it :)

Hmm, also good examples for us GMs on how to improve our sites! Great stuff!

@jbteller4 - ditto actually, I need to update the DWAITAS sheets to create new traits/fields on the fly - I haven't had time to look at jquery and calling on its functions - but I will be looking at Chainsaw's now!

in Cross-Campaign Page Mirroring September 2010

I mean conceptionally as a way of organising different sublevels for a wiki (or even external wikis). Define a namespace to be Wiki A, and another to be Wiki B, etc. These may or may not be on the same server and they may or may not follow a hiera…

Shouldn't it use namespaces?

It may be possible to store old campaigns on your own website (or someone else's ) by putting the backup export there and running it through an appropriate XSLT. Both my mirrors of Brian Swift's sites are examples of XML with presentation.

in Basic campaigns only get **zero** maps?!? September 2010

I highly recommend having a look at the games folk report about on the "DWAITAS boards":http://dwaitas.proboards.com

in Basic campaigns only get **zero** maps?!? September 2010 edited September 2010

Hmm, hard to say - this is my first foray and I'm not running a "Doctor Who" style/genre game - it's more adult/Torchwood in style. However, from what I've read in the rules and on the boards for DWAITAS where folk are actually keeping to the sty…

Teasers are good :) There are lots of great ways to motivate players - including solving mysteries that bug them, fixing problems they can see will get worse, irritating them with bad guys until they do something about it, enticing them with know…

in In game character preparedness September 2010

True - I guess it depends on the game and the players. There can be too much help from GMs as well, and it may cause players to feel like they're being railroaded. So I think a mix is good.
Curufea
in In game character preparedness September 2010

I'd be more lenient though if a player has a character that is more intelligent than they are - to help them come up with plans, I'd be quite willing to let them have longer than real time, and to discuss things with others. It's a good way to simu…

in Players have editing rights...? September 2010

Hmm, I just noticed that the wiki on OP isn't a full wiki - it doesn't store histories of changes. So yeah, 100% with Dusk reign there - backup often!
Curufea
in In game character preparedness September 2010

I've not played a game where monsters were important enough to require preparation for a loooong time... Generally PCs I've been with have planned according to things their characters know. I've virtually never encountered player-knowledge based…
Curufea
in Basic campaigns only get **zero** maps?!? September 2010

That works - although maps of places the PCs haven't been to yet can often inspire them to explore, and that leads to them generating plot :)
Curufea
in Players have editing rights...? September 2010

You may need to use an external CMS (Drupal, Joomla, various wikis) that has more rights options for members if you want that functionality.

Or maybe I just hung out on forums with deliberately crippled versions of bbcode....

in Basic campaigns only get **zero** maps?!? September 2010

The great advantage I've found of Textile over BBcode is the ability to have tables :)

in Printing September 2010

I should clarify that - you can put it in the header of the page, but the CSS used for the dynamic sheet isn't used as an import for the print version :) We'd need two CSS sheets for dynamic character sheets - that get imported into screen and prin…

in Character portrait for my NPCs September 2010

It's not intuitive that you can't add an image to a character when you create it. You have to go and edit it after creation to do it. Stumped me at first too.

@Rase gotta agree with that - HTML is very simple as I also think using this site is. Mind you I'm a bit jaded from trying to get an XML parser to work on my drupal site just so I can have decent Doctor Who character sheets.
Curufea
in Printing September 2010

I don't think it is possible to have a separate stylesheet for printing, unfortunately.

@Duskreign - you know, one improvement to the site would be the ability to add reputation, or karma or some other rating system to posts, because I'd like have been able to give you a double thumbs up for that one! :)
