in The Ultimate Comedy Movie March Madness: Round 3-3 & 3-4 voting open! March 2016

I've actually never seen _Mars Attacks!_ I need to try it again - the little bit I saw as a younger man didn't look appealing for some reason. But since I still haven't seen _Cannibal: The Musical_ either, I just skipped that vote altogether. And…

I just did the math. With only eight matches per set, if I do only one match every two days this'll take a REALLY long time. I don't want to spend that long on this (and I doubt you do, either). "*So here's round 1-2*":https://www.surveymonkey.co…

No worries Mae, that's why I built in an option to skip a match-up if you didn't want to cast a vote for that one. And if you want to see the bracket in its entirety, "it's right here for your perusal.":https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1IJV…

Ha! Matter of taste, I guess. My wife and I saw Million Says in the theater and absolutely loved it.

Bravo, sir. I genuinely laughed out loud. :-)

My frustration. For various completely unrelated reasons, we've had to cancel the last two game sessions. And I just learned that this weekend's game is also kaput. _I WANNA GAME, DAMMIT._

in The "Review my Campaign" thread March 2016

I'm guessing he was referring to the background border around the OP Campaign of the Year / Month section on the front page. You shrank/skewed it to fit, and it appears to be the only time you did this on the main page.

in Session 0 March 2016

I should probably point out that all of my 0 Sessions have also included the start of play. We don't just sit around and build characters/back stories/relationships and then go home. We do begin gaming as soon as we have all of this necessary start-…

The characters will eventually see a version of this map, unless they decide to not join the Delvers Guild for some reason. Not worried about them stumbling onto it here. And yeah, it made sense to have the main (red, 20' diameter) tunnels mostly…

Oh, I'll use it. Even if my current gaming group somehow implodes and we never play again (not likely), I intend for this to be my fantasy campaign world for at least the next decade. ;) Under Ptolus is a vast network of ancient dungeons and cata…

Weasel0's pic is the Cleaners from Labyrinth. :) And I _loved_ Secret Life of Walter Mitty. _Edited: DAMMIT! Basileus beat me by mere seconds!_

in Favorite Combat System March 2016

I definitely need to try Call of Cthulhu, and I know I'll get to it sooner or later. That said, I can't recommend Dread highly enough. The Jenga mechanic may sound gimmicky, but it genuinely ratchets up the tension at the table wonderfully.

in Favorite Combat System March 2016

I really need to try out more horror systems. Only one I've run so far is Dread, which friggin' rocks, but there are several others I'd love to play. CoC and GURPS are atop that list.

While I love a good, crunch-filled tactical battle, I have to share the love for Savage Worlds. It's elegant. It's pulpy. And it's usually very quick. PCs still get to be badasses, but the combats don't take an hour or more to resolve.

Thank you, guys! I'm really quite floored by this. There were so many incredible nominees this month, and I really didn't think I had a shot. A very heartfelt thank you to the judges, and to the veteran Portalites who welcomed me into this commun…

You just add + + around whatever you want underscored.

in Wiki navigation bar creation - formatting question February 2016

Cool. I knew there was a checkbox for if you want to make it go away (I don't), but wasn't 100% certain it was still there if you had already made the Items section vanish.

If you go into the *Settings>Advanced Settings* screen for your campaign, is there a check box displayed that you can un-check?
