Cobb County Roleplaying Game Society : Home : Site at GuildPortal

This site is dedicated to the Cobb County RPG gaming society and specifically Mike Brock's two Pathfinder games. My current campaigns takes place in Golarion. They are on-going campaigns, which incorporate characters' backgrounds into the storyline and history of each game.

A little about my Pathfinder Campaigns: They are bi-weekly, 3.75 edition D&D game that revolves around the city and country of Katapesh for the Legacy of Fire game, and revolves around the city of Sandpoint for the Rise of the Runelords game.

We also run a monthly Pathfinder Society Game Day one Saturday per month. Check the calendar for dates, times, and scenarios. If interested in playing a PFS game, go to the PFS message board and reserve your seat.

If interested in becoming a player in my Pathfinder campaigns, please send an email to broc3978@comcast.net Include a character idea in your email.

Until Swords cross, and may a troll never find you tasty.

Keep in mind, any previous character sheet you have for your character will have to be updated using the 6.0.1.1 by manually entering the data (as far as I know). I always use the most up to date HF program available so any files you send me in HF format need to be from the most update version.

All Women's 3.5 D&D

, Jan 6, 08 3:22 PM.

Hi all. Janet (my wife) brought up an interesting idea that I am willing to run with if we have enough interest. We were talking about the different play styles of men and women in D&D and how the games would be different. She thought it would be neat to have an all girls D&D game once every other week. She mentioned that sometimes women can get intimidated at a table of all guys and they would most likely have a more comfortable experience with other women at the table. I'd be willing to DM this if there is enough interest.

We currently have my wife who is committed, and two other women checking their schedules. We would want to keep it at 4-5 players at the most, so will have 1-2 more spots for any lady interested.

I run my regular D&D group on every other Tues. night from 7-11 pm. That means the week I have a break from my normal group, we could look at hosting a ladies game at our house. The day and time would be left up to the ladies group to decide. I prefer Tues nights from 7-10/11 but am flexible as to the day on that "off" week from my normal game. The game would be played at our house in Dallas, Ga. We live approx. 1.5 miles off Hwy 278.

It would be a 3.5 game set in the Forgotten Realms world. No experience is required to join. If we have someone who has joined and never played, the other ladies said they would be glad to help teach any new players.

Also, if you have a wife or girlfriend who has been interested in playing but just not wanted to take that step, this may be a great opportunity for that.

If you, or another female gamer you know, would be interested, please have them contact me at broc3978@comcast.net or my wife at jumperjeb@msn.com

GuildPortal Change Log Entry
12/9/2011 7:10 AM

Widgets sometimes only adding to the home page (regardless of what page you select) has been fixed.
Newest Members widget displaying incorrect data has been fixed.
You can now specify a custom favicon (the icon that appears in the browser when people are visiting your site) to be used instead of the default GuildPortal ones. The place to specify the icon to use is in Control Panel > Style Tools > General > Layout.
Story chapters will now display in order of chapter number instead of the order in which they were entered.
New widget: Torhead Search goes live! For those using the Mod, you no longer need to (but you still can).
In the forum display options, you may now specify that the most recent posts to show should be 0. If you do, the most recent posts will not be displayed at all. Some may find this useful, especially if used in combination with the Most Recent Topics widget.
Bank items with "Display to Members" un-checked no longer show in the bank widget.
Guilds with subscriptions expiring soon will now receive a more informative e-mail reminder.
Guild Events/Raids can now be set to "Block Signups" when entering them. Doing so prevents members from signing up to the event.
Application Questions may now be edited, although once the type is saved (multiple choice vs. text entry), that cannot be changed.
The maximum number of Recent Posts to Show in the forums has been raised from 20 to 50.
The signature generator should now always update your profile with the new image.
A new page in the Control Panel, called Raid Points Tools (under Member Management), provides quick and easy ways to mass adjust everyone's raid points/DKP by a set amount (either deducting or adding), reset everyone's DKP to 0, and individually edit member DKP without having to enter an adjustment.
ATT/AP were dropped from the Raid Points Standings widget. The data was essentially meaningless, and became only moreso over time.

Torhead Integration and More Texting

Customizable Recruiting

Rally Widget, Image Editor and Upgrades

GuildPortal Change Log Entry
11/4/2011 9:19 AM

A new widget called "Rally the Guild" goes live today! This beta widget operates much like a shout box, except instead of just adding a line of text to your site, it will send the text to members via either their cell phone or e-mail. For cell phone delivery, members will need to configure texting in their Profile (the widget itself provides a direct link to configure it, as well). Only those with officer level or higher access to your site may send out rallies, and only those marked as associate or higher receive them.

Also, images uploaded since the new file storage system was brought online (images that show as being located on a path that begins with /GuildImages) now show an Edit link next to them in the File Manager. Clicking it brings up a new web-based image editor that gives you the ability to crop, add text to, and otherwise manipulate images. The functionality of this editor already has planned enhancements, coming soon. It is also available from the Gallery widgets upon upload of new images, if the uploader has Images Admin rights on the site.

Over the past couple days, we ran across a hardware problem with one of the drives on our database server, causing some downtime. We apologize for this. The good news is, however, that we have replaced the drive with a mirrored array that has twice the space. Also, while they had the system open at the data center, we had them double the RAM as well, which should have a positive impact on performance.

To make things run even better, we have also brought in a company that specializes in the optimization of databases specific to the platform that GuildPortal runs on. They have completed their initial monitoring phase, and we will be working closely with them to implement their recommendations.

Other stuff addressed in this push:

Aion armory tooltips are fixed.
LoTRO Integration now allows manual entry of your guild name, in case your actual guild name was already taken for your server and you had to use a different one when creating your site.
Approving/denying item requests in the bank now visually updates the visibility of the approve/deny links, giving a better indicator that the command was performed.
A bug causing only one item to show when viewing item requests has been squished.
SuperAdmins can now delete crafting orders from the main display of the Crafting Marketplace.
Spotter's Order was nerfed in Rift. (Okay, so we had nothing to do with that -- we're just very, very angry about it)
