UPDATE!
A lot of you also seem to want us to add this feature to edited characters, Adventure logs, and Wiki pages. So we did!
Hail Adventurers!
Do you wish that you could alert your friends, followers, and players to your important Obsidian Portal campaign updates? WISH GRANTED!
We’ve burned the midnight oil at both ends again this weekend, and not only did that leave a terrible burn mark on the carpet, but we’ve managed to work social publishing features into the following actions!
- Create new campaign
- Create new Adventure Log post
- Create new Wiki page
So now when you’re doing one of the above, you can choose to publish a note about what you’ve created to Facebook and Twitter! Be the envy of your friends and loved ones… after all, they didn’t create the perfect campaign setting. You did!
Here’s how to set it up so your account can do social publishing.
- Log into your Obsidian Portal campaign
- Click on My Profile
- Click on Edit My Account
- Scroll down to Third Party Signin
- Click on the Facebook button and follow the instructions to allow Facebook updates
- Click on the Twitter button and follow the instructions to allow Twitter updates
After that, you’re all set to start publishing to Facebook and Twitter! Here’s how to do it.
When you’re creating a new campaign, Adventure Log, or Wiki page, scroll down to the bottom and just above the create button, you’ll see Social Publishing. Click on that, choose either Facebook or Twitter, or both, and then click create. Simple as that!
Just so it’s clear from the start, we will never post something to your stream without your explicit permission. We won’t sneak behind your back and push updates. We hate that kind of dishonest behavior, too.
