Weekly Update – December 19, 2018
Hello there OPers! We had a little bit of an off week last time around in the Updates Department due to the outbreak of 500 & 503 errors that were causing headaches. But we’re back now, so without further delay, let’s get into it.
Charities for Gamers
Inspired by the spirit of the season, we’ve compiled a list of non-profit organizations that have ties to games, gamers, and the issues that directly impact our community. As with all charity groups, we encourage you to do your research before you choose to give your time or your resources. Tell us about your favorite charities in the comments below.
Obsidian Portal Campaign of the Month December 2018 – Aorthe: A Sign of Things to Come
“The truth, hard as it may be to accept, is that mortals are a by-product of a war as old as time. They exist, and were placed on this Prime Plane, to live and die as a means of keeping score.” these are the words passed down through the Sermons of Oghma. Through these words may you gain strength, for yours is an existence whose fate is certain, no matter what you encounter on the face of Aorthe: A Sign of Things to Come – December’s Campaign of the Month! The divine battle rages on, and your place is beside GM Chad_Johnson_0, on the front lines.
Signs of Silence: How House Rules Can Lead to Highlights
Back in the old days, our weekly gaming group was blessed with an abundance of players. Like, ten to twelve at a time. This created logistical problems – players were crowded into a room, people were jockeying for the DM’s attention, I had to share my 12-pack of Mountain Dew (noooo!), and even one round of combat took an especially long time. Despite our best efforts, there was a long wait between turns, so out-of-character side conversations would often erupt.
