Legends of Arcanis adventures downloads are now LIVE!

New feature on the campaign site!

So there’s a new feature. “Find Events Near Me.” This page allows you to search for public events within a distance from a given postal code. Here’s the catch. I did not have postal code as a field when any of the existing events were created. So I added postal code. And in order for the proximity search to work, I need locations to have postal codes. if your location doesn’t have a postal code, it will be excluded from the result set. (Online events can have, “Online” as the postal code.)

So, how do I enter a postal code for an existing location? I’ve created a location maintenance page. Log into the site, go to “My Events” and you’ll see that the “Event Location” caption is now a hyperlink. That hyperlink takes you to the maintenance page.

Another side-effect is that I’ve changed the Country field into a drop down with a list of countries. This is necessary for the proximity search to work properly. The proximity search will limit itself to a single country. So if you live near the border of two countries, I apologize but the proximity search will not cross the border for you.

If you have any problems or questions, please respond to this thread and I’ll address them as soon as I can. In the mean time, please log in and update your locations with a country and postal code. Then players will be able to start searching for public events near them!

Just as a quick comment, I just tried to report an online PbP game we were running. Apparently I underestimated the amount of time it would take, so since we are more than 2 weeks past the announced end date, the system will no longer allow me to enter any information. It would be nice to see this changed.

The ‘keep me logged in’ option doesn’t seem to be working on the download site, and I’ve registered two different events in the last couple hours (with two different names), and neither of them are appearing. Nothing shows up under the Adventure tab, or the Events tab.

I’ve been meaning to post on this for a week or two now…

I’m pretty sure it was said at one point that email addresses were sufficient for reporting players. However, when I enter email addresses, I get an error to the effect of “invalid user” or “no such user found”. Do all players have to have accounts on the site to report games? If so, I’d suggest changing it – otherwise, a lot of GMs like me will most likely not report games (because most of the players don’t go to cons and don’t want to register on a website). If not, any idea what I was doing wrong and how I can report the games?
You should only need an e-mail address. And the players don’t need to be in the system. I believe, but I’m not 100% certain, that the chronicler needs to be in the system as a registered user. I can doublle-check that, if necessary. But if the chronicler is a registered user (and that’s a moot point) then please send me a screen capture or the text of the message. I’ll check this out and see what I can do.
