New Campaign Backgrounds

Fresh Backgrounds For You!

A while back you may recall that we were looking to hire a background designer, and we are happy to announce that that role has been filled! Today we are rolling some out as we speak! You should see more backgrounds as time goes on on a pretty regular basis, each time I’ll give you guys an update here on the blog talking about each one a little bit. Remember that each background also comes with a complimentary color scheme for you campaign so that you can just plug it in and go get back to the important stuff!

Looking for New Emissaries, Introducing the Emissary Program 2.0

OP Needs You!

Convention season is right around the corner, and we’re excited to get out to all the cons and spread the word about Obsidian Portal. Luckily we have a steadfast group of folks we like to call Emissaries who help us spread the word when they go to cons that we don’t get to. The problem is, we need more of them!

Just in case you didn’t know, the Emissary program has been going strong since 2010, bringing light to the savages and showing them  the ways of proper campaign management with Obsidian Portal!
