dungeons and dragons (D&D) anyone?

By the way, if anyone wants to pick up a copy of Fantasy Grounds (google it), I'll run a game. Just realize it'll probably be at 2pm EST on whatever day of the week. ;-)

cool

surely not daily?

Hell no...I have 3 other games to give attention to. :D If I were to do a game, the first would probably be a one shot.

It's becoming a very popular system. It's refreshing to play after a very rules heavy game. ;-)

Awesome. PM me your email address so we can set something up. I need to reconfigure it I think so people can actually connect to me. LOL

Since you're the first to take me up on the offer, do you have a preference in genre? The system will be savage worlds since it's the easiest to teach, but they have loads of settings. Fantasy, high fantasy, sci-fi, horror, modern...

A couple od friends and myself played several roleplay games, starting off with D&D, then Warhammer, Midgard and finally, "Fading Suns".

The latter one proved very satisfactory, as the amalgam of high-tech future, medieval everyday life, soace travel via jumpgates (Which was a major spark for creating all of the 'Stargate' films and series) was awesome.

A little insider joke I made jeld through until in 1999, the others got computers with internet, too and found out where I got the idea for my space pilot slash space intelligence undercover agent named Nikki Nova ^^

I even had her picture on my roleplay sheet, but had photoshopped it with a filter that made it looked like I drew her with a pencil :1orglaugh

Warhammer was very fun, too, as many of the scenarios and adventures were written by some college students with insane kind of humour, I remember a storyline were our group had to fight a demon called 'Zahnarzt'. Which is german and translates to dentist :)

I played a transylvanian noble, name of 'Igor von Drakenhof', half torturer, half violinist, and before questioning the captured, I used to play 'Agaony in Fis Major' to them to create the right atmosphere. Our gamemasters girlfriend played my ingame sister, 'Zefira von Drakenhof', a necromancer, so there never was any redundance if an interogation went fatal :cthulhu:

Went fatal often eh? :1orglaugh

What does that cost to be able to get a version where you can hook up to somebody else to be able to play? I've never played over VTT before. Also I couldn't find any system requirements for it. What are the realistic requirements for making it work adequately? From what I have learned about some people's VTTs games over the years is that some of them require hefty bandwidth with good connections depending on how they are set up and what other features they have with it. Granted some of those people had a lot of extras like VoIP with multiple people all connected at a time and other things that probably increased resources needed quite a bit. As I'm unfamiliar with it on a detailed level I'm unsure as to how practically even a relatively minimal program would run. I'm sure I have a computer that can run most programs themselves, but in all likelihood I doubt I have an adequate connection speed to make it feasible.

I'll help ya out here dude. What you want to do is download the demo version, try that see if it work okay if it does, then go to the forums and ask if anybody is running a game that you can spectate (when registering use my name StarDebut as the referer) then spectate a game on the given day that they are adventuring. Thats the best example of how to test if everything is working before paying any money over.

Otherwise ask Petra :S Sure he won't mind helping giving you some advice

i wonder how good it is.. im using a slow computer right now since my power supply croaked on my desktop.

if its easy id be pretty interested. but then again, im not confident i know the rules well enough to play with any sort of vet. actually, i know i dont know the rules anything close to what i should.

im still not sure if im leveling up correctly, and i just found out i can flank diagonally yesterday. *sigh!*

I haven't loaded up the program since around July last year so I've no idea if they've added anything that makes the program any heavier. I didn't have time last night to do the updates and configuration, I'll try to get up there tonight to get things set up.

The light license is around $24 and you can use it to connect to any game out there. I have the full license since I DM and I can say that since 2005 I've gotten more than my moneys worth, especially being able to play with folks from my old gaming group back in florida. There's no value on that. ;-)

FG worked fine on an old work laptop that wasn't the most speedy of beasts and it's not very graphic heavy imo.

And for connection speed, everyone I have played with up until now has had at least DSL. As long as you're not the host, it really isn't an issue.

If you dont have the time/money or think the program will run on your PC that's one thing. If you're not going to play because you don't think you're good enough for veterans then you're just a moron. :tongue:

The only way you get better is to play and experience new things. Even I'm a "newbie" when I play a new system and I've been gaming since 91! I'll also never pretend to be an expert on anything except for when I run a game because guess what? It's my world and what I say goes. ;-)
