Only three away!
Love the idea MGH! May actually do that!
10-20 more fans and you’ll have enough to make them into Palladium Saints one for each day of the year on the Palladium Calendar! I want my own Saint Holiday! Run a promotion to get the total number of fans for every Palladium day of the year. Then, we can all submit a name of a Palladium Saint to create a holiday for and a total year’s calendar. Just list them in order of when they became a fan.
For AZ_Rune, from Tucson with love
For AZ_Rune, Best Minotaur ever!
これはAZ_Rune用で、うまく戦う！

Welcome to the Reforged Rebuilt!!! Feel free to leave a comment! We love feedback!

In this very long comment are the last group of comments. Unfortunately the old workaround did not allow them to be kept. This was back in January, 2013, and includes all comments from November 2011- January 2, 2013. A previous OP upgrade eliminated all the comments prior to that. Yes, we are now in the 3rd major upgrade to Obsidian Portal….
Sorry about the mess…. Killervp

Goodluck with the voting results. We find out who won in a matter of hours and you guys are the only page other than my own that I would love to see take the prize. All the new work on your page is noteworthy and the stories have consistently remained enjoyable.

The page looks much cleaner. Some of the information is at the bottom of scrolling for example your Regions page I have to scroll down a bit to get to the map. Love how the page is looking now though.

It’s all looking very good. On seeing Syrene’s picture of Cava again, I am reminded how much it looks like a William Blake. One of my favourite images. But it is a beauty among many great beauties!

A ton of work but when you are done, I am sure it will be worth it. I have considered redoing Star Trek Late Night but am too lazy to undergo the process. Things as they stand look real good with AGR and I look forward to seeing what you will do with it now that you have made the commitment to push for a new look. I am amazed at the work you did before this revision and now am envious of your obvious motivation to create a new look. Good Luck.

It is official I now own Palladium Fantasy and I am going to have to catch up on everything from your campaign to help teach me about the Palladium world. I got the book in my Xmas grab bag but asked for it in part because of all the great things you and others have said about Palladium Fantasy. Look forward to getting my feet wet in this game line.

I can’t express enough what a great addition the recent “RECAP” section is. For one who is NOT in the campaign but enjoys following the events, it is really satisfying to be able to get the general essence of the saga in one comprehensive page. I firmly believe all Sites on Obsidian Portal should offer this facility. The original artwork also complements the passage very well. Bravo!

Thanks for the comments, as always, Twigs. It was actually Gavin’s, not Cava’s, log, and I think Tyvernos has indigestion personally.
Janice Duke is one of my current fave artists- her Bast is awesome!
twiggyleaf
On September 10, 2012 at 12:11 PM twiggyleaf said:
From Cava’s notes: Sure do have to agree with that old horror movie cliche: You have to ask “Who’s there?” BAD sneaking is ALWAYS likely to bring you into contact with something like a giant demon maggot and one always IGNORES “crying women” at one’s peril. But what is up with Tyvernos? There is definitely SOMETHING UP with that gnome!

Thanks as always for your comments Twiggy!
Ammetti Besi is definitely in for a visit from our good friends in CrIsis. I doubt highly he will have a sense of wellbeing afterwords! The Glaive quest has been passed to another group, the Legion of Northmoor. Cava/charred is a really gifted artist- I passed on your compliment.

Thanks guys! The xp bars were stolen and modified from Crimson Skies, it is done by hand each week, and I was late to the game on the 9th, so Witchcraft gm’d and I played as Robert the Just. Stephen, yes, Overkill is part sword merchant at this point, he has so many.
twiggyleaf
On June 10, 2012 at 03:53 AM twiggyleaf said:
Getting WELL UP THERE with levels, Dudes. Hey Victor, I meant to say before how much I like your little XP needed bars. Do you just approximate those according to XP needed or do you have some foxy programme that fills them according to XP needed. Whatever the case is, they look good and a nice quick way for players to see their progress. Yet another great KILLER innovation!

I read all accounts of the adventure on 26 May and my prize goes to Chip’s sonnet! The Accounts by Mordox, S’Erith, Overkill and Robert the Just were also enjoyed and I look forward to reading more about the latest adventure, by all accounts run by “Witchcraft”. Does Victor become a player at this time, or was this a session that he couldn’t attend?

Like the new art on the opening page of the wiki, and the line, “I met someone recently…a sword” gave me a smile as memories of old campaigns crashed in. I can think of a few dozen jokes about the name of the blade (My name is Calandor and I only kill on Fridays but I am happy to smite on Sundays after morning prayer) but beyond that, I envy the party and their magnificent haul of loot.

The Church of Light and Dark – “If there is no room in a good religion for those of small evil, how will they find the prosperous merchants? If there is no room in an evil religion for those of small good, how will they find gallant warriors?” – Sounds like Those Guys know how to have their cake and eat it!

KillerVP, I’m so pleased, I could pass out. Finally, finally, finally, you are getting the official recognition you have long deserved. For so long, it seemed, I and others like me have been eagerly awaiting this moment. I can’t think of anyone who deserves it more. Your campaign is extraordinary, and as always, I remain one of your biggest fans and supporters.
Congratulations to you and your fortunate crew!

Liking the new character pics – particularly Gavin. I always liked the photo, but Kenari has captured the essence of that photo brilliantly and it is always a bonus to have trully original artwork on your site. Oh, and congratulations once again for CoTM. Well deserved and probably overdue, but none of the previous winners are thereby diminished. Onward and upward from here!!!

Player deaths without Resurrection are very sad :(
We actually had one a few months ago it was very depressing. He was the life of the party! Took awhile to adjust the new team but we are better than ever now and really made everyone much more invested in the plot.

Wow, have the site off for a couple of months, (did you know that Obsidian Portal is a subversive American plot?) and you guys add two “people”- Welcome Karma & Tyvernos! Enjoy- Victor is a good gm, but never trust a monkey!
Love the aesthetic improvements on the site- the home page and banner are huge improvements!
I, unlike Tolsimir, almost cried at the video- I hate it when players die! Only happened twice with us- and there was no resurrection…
KVP- Where is Abu? I know he is hiding somewhere?

Great to see one of my favorite campaigns still kicking ass! :D i swear if you don’t get CotM soon im gonna freak out! ahh but then i will have to pick between you and star trek for CotY that is gonna suck. I would probably end up making my party split all our votes 50/50 between you two haha

Hi KillerVP – I dropped in for a spot of Christmas reading and read through Rell’s account: “In which Rell is just Rell.” A very emotional piece evincing the very heart of the character, I thought. He seems rather down throughout the whole passage so I hope some good reward is coming to your players soon!

Its looking great killervp! you have made the Gods proud!!! LOL
First, an explanation.
If you have ever been to Wyrmshadow, and this looks familiar, you are right… More on that below.
I must apologize to the 37 previous commentators…or people who left comments- I valued your opinions, and used them to improve the site.
I wanted to make my site cleaner, and to do that, I had to use the basic Obsidian format with a few twists. The last 2 twists were the maps and comments pages.
To make the twist happen I had to delete all the previous comments. Consider this A God…Rebuilt Part Two. The earlier comments spurred me to make a better, cleaner site, and here it is. So welcome, leave your comments, and thanks for visiting. Most of all, feedback is welcome!! I especially love constructive criticism, for if you had seen my site at the beginning you would have laughed hysterically.
To the previous Wyrmshadow reference, I owe much to Duskreign and his amazing campaign, Wyrmshadow and if you have not gone there, go now!!! Leave a comment for lowlifes such as me after you see the master.
Thanks!!
Killervp
He answered one for me as well last night, Thanks KillerVP!!
Thanks for being such a big help with all of the CSS questions I had!
Rod Rambler!? The bard long since dead…your very first character, who was born in the 80’s? He is actually the wise Malkin. Wow! Full circle right there. Full circle.
Thanks MGH! You can reach out to the fabulous Mr. Mumah and get your own character drawing through the Palladium Forums or on his deviant art page http://mumah.deviantart.com/
Love the artwork of Overkill shanking a dude with his dagger! Shout out to Mike Mumah for a job well done. Love the detail.
Thanks Twigs- borrowed from Robert Kety with some adjustments…
Should be interesting to have a priest back in- hope you can keep him alive!
Nice to actually have a PRIEST in a HOLY GROUP! =D
Fans expand on MOUSEOVER! I like that!
Thanks Geno, love you kiddo!
the game looks very cool and the breakdown of all the vital components is very masterfully played out for every one to see them well done all around.
I like the interactive wiki page with the BREAKDOWN OF OSIRIS’ PARTS. Very cool!
I want some sexy Minotaur, go AZ you beasty you!
Hey I am friends with AZ_Rune’s wife now where’s the rump roast, yum, damn skinny elf girls!!!
I love everything AZ_RUNE has done on Battle of the Nations and his minotaur looks cool!
AZ_RUNE and I fight together.
Brian says very nice things about his friends here
Sandy.
Xerx’ses probably tastes like bacon… oh, sorry, that is rump roast…
AZ_rune sent me. NOW GIVE ME BACON!!!!
I think it’s time for ME to steal from YOU. I am going to institute a CHARACTER DEATH page into MYSTERIA. Thanks for the idea and template.
A good time was had by all! Thanks!
I hope you all had a great time in Las Vegas1 (Your characters certainly did!)
I agree MGH… Azariel’s background is awesome!
@Gaitkeeper: Shazam!! What an amazing background story to Azariel! By far your best work. Everything felt so real and descriptive. After you are done reading it you get excited for his quest. A great “Coming of a hero” themes. Simply outstanding! Kudos, brotha’, kudos! At least 500DKP!
I love the two new character portrait sketches of Xerx’ses and Azariel! Send kudos to your artist, from on artist to another. I love his/her style. It is very whimsical. Can’t wait to see those two in color.
I am new here, AZ_RUNE sent me here after talking with me at Imperial Outpost Games. I’m more of a Rifts dude but this is a cool story.!
Thanks Twiggy and RedStorm2013 for your kind comments.
I love this campaign. Your characters are amazing and the story line is fantastic. Keep up the excellent work
Arsheesh’s map is akin to this GOLDEN EMPEROR (that is A God…Rebuilt) taking up the SCEPTRE OF MAGNIFICENCE! I agree with Killer – BEST MAP EVER!!!!
AZ_Rune: “Thanks twiggyleaf! I am really looking forward to this.”
Twigs: It’ll just be NORMAL chalk. Not your +2 stuff!
Thanks twiggyleaf! I am really looking forward to this.

Nice to read about Xerx’ses. My favourite line describing him is: “ “I keep THE CHAINS as a reminder to never let the past chain us from what we can become.”
Well, with his minotaur sized bronze mace, tempered scrolls from the book of Ma’ip, his four specialised daggers and his black armour, it is hard to know what to get a guy like this for his birthday, but I think when I finally get paid, I’m going to SPLASH OUT and buy him some sticks of chalk, so he still has some when he has finished his current supply of 2. LOL!!!

Leonidas300 said I should look at this page as an example of how a great site can be put together, boy was he right. This Campaign looks awesome!
Sweet ass campaign. This shit is awesome.
Holy Moly! People love us. I am glad that everyone loves our campaign. We work really hard on it.
SW sent me too, lol. This campaign looks amazing
StephenWollett told me to come check you out. WOW!! great campaign
Thanks Twiggy! I cannot take credit for it though. It is from the great folks at Palladium Books Rifter #31. Here is the link to get the book. http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product/61100/The-Rifter-%2331?term=rifter+%2331
Hey, I like the “Lopanic Games”
