Looking for A Few Good Beta Testers
The Time Approaches!
Update: We have enough testers now, so sit tight! And thanks for all the offers of help!
In case you haven’t heard, we’ve been hard at work behind the scenes upgrading the backbone of Obsidian Portal and are nearing completion, but we need a little help first. This beta test isn’t like others we’ve had in the past either, unlike new feature tests this one will be much less focused and we’ll be asking a bit more from our volunteers here. Fear not though, for you will be rewarded!
Emissary Program Updates!
A Refresher
It’s been a while since we’ve posted anything about our loyal Emissaries, and with con season about to kick into full swing I think it’s about time I remind everyone how awesome being an Emissary truly is. Started a couple years ago, the Emissary program was made to help spread the word about Obsidian Portal. We’re just a small team here so we don’t do things like booths at conventions for two reasons: money, and we’d rather be out and about getting to know people!

Winner for best ‘How I Got Into RPG’s’ contest is Tallyrand with his story of transformation from the uncool jock into the super-cool uber gamer. Here it is:
I was a jock in high school, so needless to say I was teased mercilessly by the ‘cool’ kids in the gaming club. That is until the GM of the local group made a bet that he could get the coolest girl in school (Gary Gygax was her uncle) to ask me out. He taught me the slang, helped me pick out some nerdy tee-shirts, and ran me through drill after drill of dungeon mastering until finally he let me DM The Temple of Elemental Evil the week before prom. When her character was the only one to survive the 1st room she fell for me and asked me right there at the table. I realized then then I was cool all along, I just needed to believe in myself.
