I just taught my two sons how to play those last month... and they played a couple hours without dying. I figure as long as alcohol is not in the picture, or a sibling war... they should be ok.Alethan wrote:Thank the gods they weren't Lawn Darts! Those things are DEADLY!!!

I've pretty much scratched this idea. You'll notice that I've left the embedded sheets in your private XP topics, but hid them and returned the manual list of awards.dmw71 wrote:Speaking of experience points, I have been experimenting with embedding a Google Doc spreadsheet into forum posts.
I'm still going to use the spreadsheet behind the scenes, and copy-and-paste the updates, but, as far as the players are concerned, things should return to the "old" normal. Thanks for playing.

Crap. You were supposed to tell me how to make this work!

Well, it was working. Then it wasn't.tooleychris wrote:Crap. You were supposed to tell me how to make this work!
I've been playing around with another embedded spreadsheet in a private 'DM' forum, and the updates I was making on the back-end (spreadsheet) were not being automatically pushed to the embedded sheet (forums). At least there weren't any errors like you mentioned, but the potential time-savings suddenly wasn't worth the time and effort it is like to take to troubleshoot the issue.
I will still dabble with this, in my private forum when I find the free time, but, at least for now, I'd rather not have to worry about it because I'm actually using it, so I've reverted back to the old method.

A quick search for phpbb google docs revealed several people with similar issues as I had. Looks like it's something to do with database code for server software. My brain is too small to digest it all but looks like an administrator fix...

Ha! I figured out the issue with the Google Docs... and I was the problem. The embedded spreadsheet in question wasn't updating because I was updating the wrong source spreadsheet! Once I updated the link, it worked.
At this point, I will just leave the your individual experience point pages the way they are (with the original list, and the Google Docs hidden in the spoiler tag). Any player that wants this reversed (hide the original list and display the Google Doc), just let me know and I can easily make that change.
Also, Ethan, I made a slight tweak to your embedded sheet. Can you let me know if you're able to scroll through the results on your iPad now?

Hey Dave, just FYI, when I click the spoiler in experience it shows a window but there's no experience listed....?
Maybe I'll play around with google docs again for my own campaign and see whats what.
