Sure.

Speaking of ZK, she'll be joinging as a Tiefling Warlord *talked to her*
So, hey. Back now, and ready to write. Woo!

And we're back on track. I have my hard drive in  a new, well, everything else.  ;D

Is everyone up for downloading OpenRPG for combat? Real time with  visuals would be much better for that...
So, hey. Back now, and ready to write. Woo!

I did that the other day, no idea how to use it >.<

goalt

Follow the instructions on the site to get it installed. I can do like a tutorial sometime.  ;D
So, hey. Back now, and ready to write. Woo!

I will only be able to load this on ONE of the three systems I use, and it won't be the one I'm usually logging in with...  :P

Hmm. Looks like there could be problems using that...

Anyone have a suggestion for graphical stuff other than handmaking and uploading an image every round?
So, hey. Back now, and ready to write. Woo!

I know the Basic Fantasy site has a simple map generator, but I don't know how useful it would be for our purposes.   :(
Maybe ONE image, and then we could use something like chess notation...

Ooh, yes, chess notation sounds Good.
So, hey. Back now, and ready to write. Woo!

Algebraic is good...letters on one axis, numbers on the other, and we can track the entire path of travel to doublecheck little things like (say) shifts through bad going or everybody ending up in the same square by accident.

Plus the smart-alecks can add the occasional '!' or '?' to a given move as running commentary (which would have come up in my tabletop group session last night.  Ocre jellies are a pain in the rump).

Oh, yes, that's a very good idea. I can use my lovely Fire Emblem sprites for a starting map, then the code system for any future moves etc. Excellent.

(bows politely)
There you go!  Glad to have been of help.
Oh, and I found Scaly.  I'll send you the writeup later tonight.

I have it installed, lol, it is just beyond my comprehension how to use it.

But we have something else in place instead?

Doomsday

If you ever need another male character, I'd be interested. I'd rather do it over OpenRPG or IRC rather than here on the forums.

goalt

Looks like that's almost all the characters in, so we should be starting fairly soon.

Non-combat stuff will of course be done via the boards--I'll get thread(s) up Soon as well.

For combat, the best option would be to use a program like OpenRPG. Unfortunately, this seems like it can't work out. As an alternative, at the beginning I will post a reference map of the area with the starting positions of the creatures the PCs are aware of ( :P). Then, we will use a coordinate system like is used in chess. Each column will have a letter, each row a number. This way, position can easily be expressed without having to update the map image--should be easy to look back and know where everything is. I can keep a running note of where everyone is in the same post as the reference map, if that would be easier. I would love to be able to run this real-time, via an instant message program or IRC (neither of which requires installing anything  :P) but I am not certain if everyone's schedule would allow---play-by-post might, unfortunately, be required. I hope that doesn't turn anyone off.


I suppose I should probably post an example of the reference system I'm talking about.  >.>

*bump*

Checking to see whats going on  ^.^

Question?  Are we going to have a set day, to all gather.  The best day for me is Sunday if that is the case. 

goalt

Probably not, because I don't think timing will allow, unfortunately.

Just waiting on one more character sheet.
So, hey. Back now, and ready to write. Woo!

ty for the update!

goalt

Mrr. I'm not sure I can run 4e in a forum-based format, really... I'd muchly prefer to go real-time. I know there could be scheduling issues, but...:/
