Hello, Mandolyn, and welcome to Obsidian Portal's forums! Any assistance you need, I would be happy to oblige. Just sent me a message. "Duskreign":http://www.obsidianportal.com/profile/Duskreign "Wyrmshadow Campaign Setting":http://www.ob…

Hail Neithan, So far, so good. It looks like you are putting a lot of your wiki stuff in the Adventure Log. It's up to you, of course, but I would migrate that data onto your wiki page. If you want, you can sail over to Wyrmshadow to see what kin…

Well, competitiveness in and of itself is not a bad thing. It makes no sense in my game, though. If you need to be put yourself above the others in your group, then you'll quickly find that the others aren't there when you find yourself needing them…

Rase, I like the cut of your jib. I think that any solution has to be drastic. If I am changing the names, I have to excise the old names permanently, without acknowledging that I have ever used them, which while helpful to my ultimate desires, l…

I also like using food as "minions." It turns out that Kobolds taste of Cheez-it! Go figure!

Alatheon, I have noticed that every session sees one person shining above the rest, then the next week, it's someone else who gets the spotlight. If they roll consistently well, they do well. That's an issue inherent to any system based on random nu…

I know it is just semantics, but could you benefit from a simple name swap? Perhaps instead of Darkmoon Vale, you call it Valley of Ebonmoon? I am seriously considering making a few semantic alterations and making the Groosalugg something else, like…

Daw jeez, Jon, yer embarrassin' me! Also, the classless thing was actually my primary goal in developing this system. Nobody in my game is a Paladin. Drogyn is a Diocene Knight. Borgamat is a Peacebringer. It seems like semantics, but the players ap…

Rase, you don't constantly hear klaxons? I knew there was something wrong with me.

Frankykins, I wish it were that simple. I am big on the idea of eating everything on my plate, and when I got this world, even in the state it was in, I had to settle in, grab a handful of what was there, and go to work making this mess into somethi…

StoneWynd, there is an option to do backups specifically for this reason. If you have an issue with Obsidian Portal, the best way to resolve it is to contact the site managers by using the "Contact Us":http://www.obsidianportal.com/contact link at t…

If you do a google search for the individual page urls you are missing, you can choose the "Cached" version and, sometimes, Google will have saved what was once at that address. That has saved me in similar situations. If you do so, and you see your…

You opt to take my offer, and you now have two blue crystals with which to make improvements to your character. I ask only that you make improvements that are in keeping with the following criteria: 1

*2. Leveling* In Wyrmshadow, I have foregone levels in favor of a more gradual improvement system based upon the idea that as a character endures hardships, they should not have to wait for an arbitrary moment in the near-future to reap the benef…

No, I haven't written it up, because I don't feel like I can explain it as well if I'm not physically interacting with a player.... But, that Rules page is meant to be filled with things like this. I suppose, for you guys, I can make that my next…

The absolute best solution, in my overweight opinion, is gold foil-covered chocolate coins. When they spend the AP, they get to eat the coin. Edible props = win.

Arsheesh, that's worth far more than two cents. You're last paragraph entails my struggle in its entirety. Not that I view myself in any way as a Tolkien-like figure, but if, one day, something special was to happen for me, and Wyrmshadow was to …

Yes, exactly, Rase. I have to use it, but there's no reason why I have to use it specifically. Instead, Pylea is implicit. It's intangible and, in the greater scheme of things, unimportant. In Arsheesh's case, though, Darkmoon Vale is *damn* impo…

A blue crystal buys a 10% increase in total HP, up until you have 100 HP, in which it goes up by 5% for every blue, plus one additional THS (Temporary Healing Surge) that is lost forever once used. The rules-oriented people that play my game lov…

Like I said, I didn't choose this particular inclusion, and by the time I gained full control of this game (when it was still called "world", none of the nations had names, etc), it was too late for me to dismiss what had been done. I am currently d…

The bag is set at 30/10/1 at the beginning of every draw. Let's say you're playing in my game, and you just earned 2,240 experience for a session. You would then get 4 crystal picks with 240 points carried over to the next session's experience pool.…

My experience/leveling system involves earning the right to pick colored crystals from an opaque bag. There are 30 clear crystals, 10 blue crystals, and 1 red crystal. For the first ten levels, every 500 experience points earned grants the player a …

Campaignosity is officially a word, now. And a fantastinomical one at that. :) Arsheesh, I totally get it. In Wyrmshadow, Hell is called Infernia. There is a nation in Infernia called Pylea which is derivative to a place of the same name in the T…

Nah, I'm thinking of re-doing it Gnomes Rule-style, now.
