OK so I've done that on my user page, but how do I do stuff like create a page? I want to do one for the contents of the bag of holding, then people can edit it. Also, How did Delphine create multiple pages for her characters? If it's possible for me to do it, it's hidden away somewhere crazy.--[[User:Craig|Hobbit Feet]] 22:03, 13 Dec 2005 (GMT) |

Is there any chance that we can change the way that we play so that whispers made to players who have gone off to reconnoitre etc. can be seen by all?

I think that this should be OK provided that the players not there don't use the information that they read in their character roleplaying - e.g. "Maybe we should go and see what's going on over there".

::I guess you can mix the two. For things that the other players are going to see anyway, or that the scout is going to tell, you can do the describing without whispering. For things that require the use of a skill by the player where he makes a succesfull roll (search and such) whisper should be used to allow the player to do what he wants. I like the use of whispering for short actions (spot, listen) so that the player can use and rephrase in their own words and choose how they tell the others.

:::On the other hand: sometimes it is nice for the whispering/whispered player to not let the others know what's going on. Perhaps the DM could ask, in whisper, what the player wants to do: share now or share later.

Well, since the autoupdater wouldn't work I thought I try the manual install. This resulted in ORPG not starting at all. Turns out I've also got to upgrade Python, so I do that and wxPython. This then gives me a ORPG that starts, but wont open any character sheets! |

I tried the instructions and it made no difference. I tried the 3.5e char sheet as as far as I can see there is no way of doing spells at all.
