Opening crawl styles for Obsidian Portal

By progressions, in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG

Hi folks,

I just did up some custom CSS for my Obsidian Portal page in order to show our campaign's opening crawl a little better, and wanted to share it with someone.

You can have a look here:

I can share the CSS if anyone would like it.

Thanks!

Looks like a sweet campaign! I love HK-droid PCs, 4000 years old and kicking :)

It is fun!

Sadly we are losing our HK droid next week due to scheduling changes, but we have a Hired Gun ready to step in.

I feel bad as we never really got to explore the HK's storyline much, I'd planned to get to that after the current storyline.

That actually makes me really sad.

That does sound like a cool campaign idea. It brings together a diverse group with a common goal and boss. Very nice.

The opening crawl is a good read.

Phew...What a stupid rip off!!!! Why would you want to make your game look like some stupid old movie anyway!!! DUMB!!! :P :lol: :D

HHHmmm. I might have to modify my Portal page now. :ph34r:

Looks good man! Thanks for sharing the CSS, I think I'll have to borrow it. ;)

Edit: Doh, looks like you have be a paying member for access to the custom css. Not quite ready to do that until the whole group buys into using the site. Oh well.

A few months back, I was looking into animated crawls. I wanted something that was simple to modify for different adventures, didn't require special websites or any add-ons like Java, Flash, or Silverlight (most of the time, all I have is my iPhone to show the crawl), and worked with any browser. I finally found an HTML-only solution that uses HTML animation, and everything is in one HTML file (other than a couple of links to some public domain sites). I had to modify it a bit to get it working correctly, but now it's what I use for the opening crawl whenever I start a new adventure.

Anyway, it's really easy to edit the page to change the crawl text for each adventure, so I just copied your crawl text and made one for you :)

Feel free to use it or not, if you want. Enjoy.

PS: If you wouldn't mind, don't link to the webpage, just copy it for yourself. I tend to run into bandwidth issues with DropBox :)
