Online D&D Gaming --- Looking for new players!

[Randallw]

Well In think we can go with 3 people, so I'll start preparing.

[Atrocities]

Post 1001.

[douglas]

I'm not seeing Alkhazar on the server list, and the address Fyron posted last time isn't working.

[Randallw]

yeah, I'm just waiting for Fyron to post the address.

[Fyron]

Imperator Fyron said:
Server address is: 71.130.87.221:6774


Address has not changed.

[Randallw]

assumed a new address would be posted. Anyhow the old one works.

[Randallw]

Just to let you know, I have been roped into helping the builder renovate the house so it looks like starting the end of next week I'll be busy for what I am told is a week or two. Also some time in the future someone is organising some work experience for me but I don't know when that will be yet.

[Randallw]

I'm sorry I have to call off the game tomorrow. As I mentioned previously a friend of my sisters is renovating downstairs for her, and as a result we have had to clear away all our storage. I havn't had the time to plan out the next session. I was going to do it today but I have to take down shelves and move more stuff. This is the first chance I've had to use the computer today.

[Randallw]

Can everyone play tomorrow?

[douglas]

I can.

[Violist]

I probably can, though I may be a little late coming.

[Fyron]

I don't think I'll have time to play tomorrow. I'll start up the server though. Feel free to NPC my char if need be.

[Randallw]

Well I know that Narf commonly has something else (Choir wasn't it?) so if he can please verify or not, seeing as how there are only 2 players so far. I feel it might not be worth it with only 2 players.

[Randallw]

oh, also I feel that I must point out a short time ago I received a call from a priest my mother knows saying he will come tomorrow to pick up some old furniture we have. Most likely I will be told to help move it. He's coming tonight to get some smaller things. I'll try and remember to find out what time he will most likely come tomorrow.

[Violist]

OK, got my schedule sorta sorted out. I can come, but I'll have to leave at 6:15 for another rehearsal with my duet partner.

[Randallw]

Well Violist appears to have to leave early. Fyron can't come anyway, and Narf hasn't said anything yet, but it doesn't matter anyway because Father Quinn says he will be around 1pm tomorrow probably which is right in the middle of any session (yes I realise also about the time Violist leaves, though it could well be sooner). I can see moving the furniture into the trailer will take at least half an hour, maybe longer depending on help. Fate conspires against us, but I really hope we can continue next week.

Edit: in future I think I will ask the group earlier for schedules, although in my case things came up suddenly.

[Randallw]

damn, I just remembered I have to start at the end of this week to help renovate the house. I was told that will only take a few days though.

[ZeroAdunn]

Search for DnD OGL and you should be able to find all the core book information as well as some of the other releases.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

I've had a HD crash; the password I had wasn't current and I was borrowing a computer. Anyway, I should be able to make it next week.

[Randallw]

I have been told that renovating starts definitely next week, so we should be ok for this week if everyone is available. Also, Narf, I sent you that stuff.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Thanks.

[Fyron]

I don't think I'll be able to play before 6 PM (hour later than normal).

[Randallw]

I don't know if Fyron will be able to set up the server even if he will be late, but seeing as how I really want to get on with things, instead of risking the game petering out, I will prepare for tomorrow. It's ok if we only get a truncated session tomorrow, as long as we get to do something. Of course I still need to hear from Violist and douglas to make sure if they turn up.

[Fyron]

ZeroAdunn is interested in joining tomorrow.

I can start the server up before I leave. Feel free to start at the normal time without me. Someone else will need to get the log though.

[Randallw]

Ok. We usually take half an hour before we get started anyway. We can use the time to work on ZeroAduns character.

[douglas]

I'll be there..

[Fyron]

Server is now running at 71.130.87.221:6774.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Wait...We're not starting now, are we? It's only 2:26!

[douglas]

Going to eat dinner now, I'll be on when I get back.

Edit: Somehow Fyron's post made me think our normal start time was about when I first posted this, despite dinner having never ever even come close to interfering with the session before.

[ZeroAdunn]

I'll want to be there tonight, I think I am connected to the server right now, so I hope to see you all there.

[Randallw]

slight delay while someone else has to use my computer.

[Violist]

Apologies again for having to run off... the Debussy string Quartet was playing tonight, and I could get in free...

[Randallw]

no problem. I didn't even realise you had left. Must have missed you saying bye.

[Violist]

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif I got disconnected right as I was leaving, apparently... must have not gotten through. Looks like I didn't miss the end of the giant fight though...

[Randallw]

That's ok. I was being polite rather than accuse you of just leaving without telling us http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Violist]

Hehe... 'preciate it.

Is there a game on tonight?

[ZeroAdunn]

Last week they said no.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

That's good. I was having computer problems from 5:25 to 8:30.

* And a nap.

[Randallw]

So who's able to play this week?

[ZeroAdunn]

I may be able to. I have to go to chicago in the morning, but should be back in time to play.

[Violist]

This week sounds good to me.

[Randallw]

Well I'll assume we're going to play. We'll see if things work out.

[ZeroAdunn]

On a side note, here is my start on 8-bit avatars. I hope this is usefull for now.

http://www.the-potter.net/minis/minis.html

[Randallw]

I am not entirely sure Fyron set up a server, but I used the last address he gave

71.130.87.221:6774

and I logged on to something. Don't know if its open to everyone. I also would like to say that I am worried that only 2 people have replied so far.

Edit: and Douglas just turned up.
Edit2: now we have ZeroAdun

[Randallw]

I felt we didn't have enough to play, especially as it is the big finish. I have some important work to do anyway. I do realise things can come up and Narf has computer trouble. I also note that Fyron had set up the server. I do ask that if possible people please post if they can come or not.

[Fyron]

I thought I had mentioned before that I was not going to be able to come right at 5:00 anymore. I am here now!

[Randallw]

Ok. I didn't realise that would be every week, just that time. I'll keep it in mind.

[Randallw]

Lets see who can make it this week. I'll remember that Fyron will be late.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Baring emergency, I should be able to make it.

[douglas]

I'll be there. (Stupid duplicate post filter forcing me to add something http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/mad.gif)

[ZeroAdunn]

Sorry guys, looks like I won't be able to be there tonight. Just started my new job and I will probably be at work very late. If things change I will make an appearance, but don't count it.

[Violist]

'grats on your new job http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I should be able to make it but the conductor called an emergency rehearsal for the concert tomorrow, so I'll be leaving about 6:45ish PST.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Congrats on the job.

[douglas]

In case anyone forgot that we have to enter the address manually now, it's 71.130.87.221:6774

[narf poit chez BOOM]

No, no, I just completly lost track of timing.

[ZeroAdunn]

Well, bad news, I am going to be working on tuesday nights for a while. I am going to see if I can trade the shift for something later in the week, I'll let you know the results.

[Randallw]

Fyrons schedule is changing soon. We'll talk about a new time when he knows.

[Fyron]

ZA, Violist and myself will all be able to do thursdays 5-8 PM PST (normal time, not hour later like last session) starting in 2 weeks. Thursday next week is no good for me. Will thursdays work for the rest of you?

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Thursdays work.

[Randallw]

Well if it's the same time only 2 days later I have no problem. The only thing I ever have on fridays is comic book day every two weeks but I can do that afterward http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif,

[Randallw]

So are we going to have a truncated session this week or wait till a new time is worked out? A short session might be ok as you just have to deal with the large mother troll.

[Violist]

Tuesdays are getting to be more and more icky for me; I'd rather wait 'til Thursday.

[Randallw]

Well I don't think it would be thursday this week but next week. I'm ok whatever. If people could just make their opinions known. I'm turning in for tonight and and would like to see if people want to play or not when I get up in the morning.

[Randallw]

Ok then clearly we aren't playing. I am puzzled by one thing though, Fyron appeared to have set up the server. I waited around but no one turned up. I waited for 30 minutes after he usually turns up.

[Fyron]

You were still there when I got in, at least for a minute or two. No worries.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

I've got a cold. I'll try to remember to show up tommorrow, but my memory is shot - More so than usual. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Just don't expect any coherency out of me.

*Whaps Fyron* - Pre-emptive strike. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

[Randallw]

Well Fyron has said he can't do it this week. From next week he can. I did not think we would be playing, but see now it was only Fyron who stated he can't play. Well with Fyron unavailable and Narf sick what does everyone else have to say?.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

(Kinda off-topic, but what's the freenode address? Mirc doesn't have it.)

[ZeroAdunn]

I'll be available.

[Randallw]

Well to be honest I'd rather not go ahead without Narf and fyron. Still have to hear from others anyway. Rather organise everybody and set next week as definite.

[douglas]

I'm available both this week and next, but I agree we should wait for next week.

[Fyron]

narf poit chez BOOM said:
(Kinda off-topic, but what's the freenode address? Mirc doesn't have it.)

irc.freenode.net

[Violist]

Actually, isn't it still chat.freenode.net since the last round of spambot attacks?

Also, I'm availbale tonight if there is a session.

EDIT: Looks like there isn't a session tonight; but next week works fine.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Hey, I'm up. I'm more coherent - I even managed an informative (Short) post.

(Tried both, couldn't connect.)

[Fyron]

I connect to irc.freenode.net regularly.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

I mispelled the server name.

[ZeroAdunn]

So, what is the word, DnD this thursday?

[Randallw]

As far as I know. I certainly can't play tomorrow as I am the only person available to care for my nephew.

[Fyron]

Oh boy... Totally forgot about the time switching when I made plans for tomorrow. Please play without me; I don't want to be the cause of yet another delay! I'll fire up the server at some point at the usual: http://71.130.87.221:6774

[Randallw]

So who will turn up tomorrow? We had a time change here this week so by my calculations it should be an hour earlier for me, although that shouldn't affect the rest of the group, unless there was an equal change for you.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Daylight savings time occured on schedule. The Earth rotated backwards one hour, as always.

[Randallw]

So, does that mean it is cancelled out?. If so I'll turn up at the same time for me as before.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Er, forewards.

Have pity on me, for it was 1:30 AM.

Goodnight.

[douglas]

The southern and northern hemispheres change time at the same time but in opposite directions, so it'll be two hours earlier for you.

[Fyron]

This post is made at about 7:40 AM PST. Unless I am mistaken, the session is scheduled for 5 PM PST. Calibrate it with the time shown with your forum time zone settings.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

So it's 5PM for me, right? (PST)

[Fyron]

For reference, it is now 4:25 PM PST, just 35 minutes away!

[Randallw]

This is a post to determine the time.

[Fyron]

Hop on ASAP. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Game disconnected.

[Randallw]

I'd just like to point out the Fossergrim was there from the start. I didn't just add him to take the babies. He was supposed to help if the Rakka was too much, the idea being he gets angry when stone to mud defiles his pond.

[President_Elect_Shang]

I am seriously thinking about this, the question is only when would I have the time? Here are my *ahem* (it has been a very long time since I played last) credentials based on the first post in the thread:

When are you available: Not sure yet, need to take a long hard look at my schedule as I have four classes this semester.

Experience being DM: Yes, about four years but never thought I was very good at it. I am starting to DM for my family but this is in the very old basic edition of D&D. Easier for them to follow and I can always work them up to later version as they get better.

Would you like to DM: No, but if I understand right Narf has that base covered already.

Do you have the 3.0 or 3.5 player’s handbook? No, the edition I have is 2nd. This goes for all of my material which is pre-TSR buyout and mostly focused on DL. On the good side I have LOTS of material. It fills an entire box. I have no problem with buying the latest books and would want to before making a final decision. I don’t know how much TSR has changed the game and I prefer to play Magic with cards (jk).

E-Tools: I have seen the links for the tools in the thread.

So before I move forward to make a final yes or no does it sound as if I am qualified? If so are there any slots open and how would the character creation work, i.e. starting level, money, and any other adjustments to keep with the current party?

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Well, first, I'm not running this game. I was running the other game, but Jack Simth does a much better job. I think too much to run a chat game well. On the other hand, I appear to do much better on forum games.

Second, 3.5 has a lot of changes. No thac0, no wierd 'lower AC is better', one standard level list...I'd recommend at least the Player's Handbook.

Oh - Online System Reference Document. All the information on it has an open liscence. Looking through it could help you know what has changed. http://www.d20srd.org/

[Fyron]

Yeah, just go with the SRDs. You don't really need to buy the books these days, unless you prefer a hard copy. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

"So before I move forward to make a final yes or no does it sound as if I am qualified?"

Certainly.

"If so are there any slots open..."

Honestly, we lose players all the time... There is always a seat for new players! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

"...and how would the character creation work, i.e. starting level, money, and any other adjustments to keep with the current party?"

We are currenly at level 6. The PHB (I think) contains a chart of starting gold based on level, which you can exchange for items. We don't keep too careful track of individual experience (at least, I don't), but rather just all level up at the same time when Randall tells us it is time.

We use a point buy system instead of silly dice rolls for statistics. I've got a table up on the site:

http://dnd.spaceempires.net/start.php

The characters we have are Narf as a wizard, Douglas as a Psion, ZeroAdunn as a... something with a bunch of nature skill, perhaps a ranger (he just joined recently), and myself as a fighter.

[Randallw]

Note also that Fyron is a Thri-Keen. I'm perfectly happy with accomdating anything a player might want, we sort of let fly the fact that Fyron is this giant insect running around a Norse setting (at the moment). You're perfectly welcome to join, and other players seem to get along fine without the actual books. I'm the only one who needs tons of books for me to plan everything. Before you join however I would like to point out something that isn't really a problem as long as everyone else is happy with it. I feel we go along at quite a comfortable pace. Today, granted we started late, all we did was run a single encounter handing over some babies, and usually we get in 1 combat. I do sort of wish we moved along quicker, but as long as everyone is happy it's not a problem.

[President_Elect_Shang]

I don’t have a problem with the pace of things; it is just looking to find the time. Sounds like things have changed a lot which I expected in the TSR take over. You encountered a group of what? Babies, and the Thri-Kreen didn’t eat them? Must be Lawful-Good or did they toss out that system as well?

[Fyron]

The system has changed in 3.x, but IIRC 3.0 was started before the buyout. Note that 2.0 was perfectly fine with allowing monstrous PCs, having a few supplemental rulebooks to cover them (as with 3.x). http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

There were a group of fensir (trollish creatures without the regeneration) that had been preying on the likestock of farmers. The babies were left over after defeating the adults.

My thri-kreen was outvoted in my initial plans for the babies, sadly. Then I missed the session that finalized the last Fensir encounter.

Alignment is still alive and kicking.

[President_Elect_Shang]

Imperator Fyron said:My thri-kreen was outvoted in my initial plans for the babies, sadly.



He-he-he, I woulda had plans for them too. Stew, roasted, …

Now I am starting to feel tempted. I will try to pick up the book (3.5) today. I pass by a book store on my way to class, gee wonder why that is?

[narf poit chez BOOM]

I would have liked to have the game go a bit faster.

[Randallw]

So who's up for the game tomorrow? Are you going to join us shang?

[Fyron]

Unless I explode in a big, fiery ball, I will be there.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Ah. So turned to stone is fine? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

I plan on being there.

[Randallw]

Well I hope everyone can turn up, myself included. I am in fact leaving this message because I'm not feeling too well. Earlier this week I was laid up with a bad virus and, well now I have a pretty bad stomach pain. Just letting you all know that if I don't turn up it may be that I don't feel well enough to play.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Sorry to hear that you're sick.

[Randallw]

well it turns out I am ok this morning, but my sister isn't and as soon as I got up I was asked to look after my nephew, so I have to stay available to look after him.Also it seems with the new time I am having the same trouble I had last time we were so early.

Edit: I popped into OpenRPG and only Fyron and Violist were there (Kelensiya right?). I just started to wonder if people couldn't make it cause they went away for Easter.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Sorry, my sister and a friend came over for Easter and I totally forgot.

[Fyron]

Douglas was there, but left about 15-20 minutes before you arrived.

[ZeroAdunn]

Dangit, I am sorry I missed it, completely forgot it was thursday.

[Randallw]

So who is available this week?

[narf poit chez BOOM]

I am, I'm pretty sure.

[Fyron]

I shall not be not available.

[ZeroAdunn]

I will be there!

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Hello There, I'm Narf.

[douglas]

I'm available..

[Violist]

I'm available.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Uh, I just got reminded of something - I'm going to have to leave at about 6:30 PST.

[Violist]

Harrumph. I just got reminded that I have to leave at 6:00 PST http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

[Randallw]

I am not placing blame on people but I want to adress some issues. Narf, I realise you forget our sessions and that's ok I'm sure you don't do it on purpose but I'd like to check on something I assume. Is your forgetfulness part of your condition? As for ZeroAdun, did something come up? Are you sure of the time?

Edit: Narf. considering your message did you simply not come seeing as you were leaving early anyway?

[ZeroAdunn]

I am sorry sorry, I got stuck at work late.

[Randallw]

That's ok, such things can't be helped. I always assume things come up.

[ZeroAdunn]

I've actually been home for a little bit, but the server doesn't seem to be up.

[Randallw]

Well Violist had to leave so we got in 30 minutes before he left. Then there were only 2 players so Douglas didn't think we should go on and then we sort of wound down.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Partly I forgot, partly my brother wanted the computer, partly me not putting my 6:45 excursion on my schedule (Otherwise known as the computer desktop).

As for my bad memory - No idea where it's from. As for how bad it is...I've literally walked down or up the stairs and forgotten what I was going to do. Yesterday is a vague blur that someone spray-painted.

[Violist]

Argh... I'm going to have to miss/play 30 minutes of this session too http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Yet another randomly scheduled rehearsal for sunday's concert... bah.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Are you sure you have a schedule?

[Violist]

Increasingly I'm beginning to doubt the existence of an organised schedule for me.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Ask for one?

[Randallw]

Well can everyone let me know who will be playing.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

I'll be playing - Is it today or tomorrow?

[douglas]

I may be a bit tired. I've got a paper to write and no idea how long it'll take.

[Randallw]

Well don't feel you have to play tired just because you have important stuff to do.

[douglas]

Argh, paper turned out to be an all-nighter and then I had to go to work. I think I'll be sleeping through this session.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Is it on? What server?

[Randallw]

I'm about to go over to OpenRPG. I'll see if we're going. The server address is

71.130.87.221:6774

[Randallw]

So whose available for the next session.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

I've got to leave for a doctors appointment at 5:30. (PST)

[Randallw]

I apologise for not turning up on time. I'll be honest, I was too tired. I ended up staying up later than I planned last night, and I had a cold until yesterday. I was just unable to get up this morning.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Hey, don't worry. I certainly can't complain about that, or Jack would probably hit me with my own hammer. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

[Randallw]

Who's ready this week? If someone tries to keep me up tomorrow night I'll have to put my foot down.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

I should be there.

[Violist]

I won't be able to come.

[Randallw]

I apologise for taking so long, but I finally remembered about xp at the same time as I had the time to work it out. So here's everyone xp since arriving in the north.

Fyron- 3150
Narf- 3150
Douglas- 3150 (as you can see they've all managed to play each session)
Zero Adun- 2550
Violist- 900

[Randallw]

Just in case my failure to check if everyones playing makes you think there is no session this week, thus is not the case. I'll prepare as usual.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Not so sure I've played every session.

[Fyron]

I should probably mention that my IP has changed to 71 133 6 69.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Too slow. We need to speed it up.

[Randallw]

valid point. I tend to wait for responses from the players. If there isn't any input I do try to get things going by intorducing more detail. I don't want to be guiding the players along but on the other hand it seem I need to do some prodding.

[Randallw]

I feel I should let you all know that I start a new job next week. To start with it is work experience while the owner sees how I handle the job, and even if I do get the full job in a month or two it should still only be 3 afternoons a week. I plan to avoid working fridays, which is the day we play for me, but I suppose I might be forced to work fridays sometimes. Anyway even though I don't plan for it to be a problem I am letting you know in case it affects me.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Um...We play thursdays. Get some sleep..

[Fyron]

*points to international date line*

[Randallw]

Randallw said:

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Ah, sorry. Maybe I need sleep.

[ZeroAdunn]

Won't be there this week, will be out of town.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Will be there this week, probably.

[Randallw]

just to let you all know I will expect a game tomorrow/today, whichever.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

I'll be there.

[Fyron]

I am not going to be able to participate tonight. The server is up and running at 71.133.6.69:6774 for you guys.

[Randallw]

Half an hour to go and the only definite is Narf. Will Shaorin or Violist be there. Might not be worth bothering if we only have 1 or 2 people.

[Randallw]

I'd like to thank Fyron for setting up the server and Narf for coming. Lets hope we have better luck next week.

[Randallw]

I really hope we have better luck this week. So who thinks they can turn up?

[narf poit chez BOOM]

I shall be there, methinks.

[Randallw]

come on, anyone else. It's looking sadly like last week again. I know Fyron hasn't spoken up, but with him it is still 2.

[douglas]

I should be there this time.

[Violist]

I have to leave at 6:58 or so for the final concert of the school year.

[Randallw]

I'm trying to log in with the latest address and it keeps saying.

failed to connect to game server

[Violist]

The address seems to be 71.129.174.32

[Randallw]

Right. There now.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Well, that was fun, if slow.

One problem seems to be is that only one player seems to be active at a time.

[Major_SNAFU]

So, what's this all about. I haven't gamed is some time and I miss it greatly.

How does this work, etc.

[Randallw]

We try to get together once a week and use OpenRPG to play. We only have a few players and recently we've had trouble getting everyone together. At the moement we play on thursday evenings at I believe 5pm PST (I am in Australia so for me it's 10am on Friday). I DM, and the party has been going from one area to another. If a player can't make it his character mysteriously dissapears for the week, but none of the characters comments on it.

At the moment, and this may be an opportunity to remind the players. A local "landowner" on a "viking" type island hired the party to find out what happened to one of his aides who was investigating a mine. The party found that the miners had gone insane and that unnatural creatures, by which I mean Cthulhu type stuff, were lurking about the mine where an ancient castle had been discovered. Fyron posts the logs at his site.

There is also another game which Narf is part of, which I tried once, but the time wasn't right for me.

As Narf said, we do go a bit slow. I feel that I don't wish to push the players too much and stay at a pace everyone is comfortable with, with the occasional attempt to get things running again. Not that I wouldn't mind getting more done.

Addendum: and if you're interested in playing I am sure the party will agree with me when I say.... WE NEED A CLERIC http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Violist]

Yeah, that's about it. And heck yes, we need a cleric... bards just don't really cut it for healing http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

And that should be the last time for a while I'll need to leave early, provided the graduation ceremony I have to perform at isn't on a Thursday.

[Randallw]

I hope we can get plenty of players for the next session.

[Randallw]

Hey guys, is there a problem?. No one replied to my post last night and the latest addresses don't work.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Can't seem to connect...Address?

[Fyron]

blarghorama

[Randallw]

ok, I have set up the room. I noticed only 2 people in the lobby, Fyron and Violist. Is that all? What happened Narf?

[Violist]

Sorry, I'm going to be unable to make it this week. I'll need to time to study for math final and papers and stuff. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/Sick.gif

[douglas]

Sorry I didn't post this earlier, but I'll be on my way down to where my brother's wedding is going to be tomorrow and won't be able to play.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

I can make it.

But if we only get two players, it probably isn't worth it.

[Randallw]

Hmm, Well I'd be willing to put it off if we're only going to have Narf and Fyron.

Edit: let's make this official. No game this week. Beside I got engrossed in HoI2 and only just realised it's 12.30 in the morning http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[narf poit chez BOOM]

And, I, er, forgot again.

So it's a good thing it's off.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Might not be able to make it this week, or only for part of the session. Sorry for the inconvenience.

[Randallw]

I have to see if my boss want's me to work this week anyhow, seeing as how I have had bronchitis for the last 3 days.

[Randallw]

yeah, sorry guys. Gotta work tomorrow. This shouldn't be regular, just making up for not working most of this week.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Well, we can still have fun.

"You see darkness all around you..."

[Fyron]

Since it is now summer, we can change the time to another slot if it works better for everyone.

[Violist]

As far as I know, Thursday evenings work fine for me through the summer.

Should a switch be necessary, Monday is out for me, and Tuesdays I wouldn't be able to arrive until 30 minutes late. However, any other day _should_ be fine.

[Randallw]

I hope we can have a productive session tomorrow. We can also use the time to discuss possible new times.

[Violist]

I can't connect to the server and Fyron doesn't seem to be alive to answer. Can anyone else connect?

[Randallw]

Ok I bite, what's the address this time. Actually, are we even playing since no one posted lately. To be honest I'm a tad tired (late night) so if I don't get a reply, in say 15 minutes, I may just go back to bed.

[Randallw]

Ok, thanks Violist for trying. For anyone else that comes late I can't really hang around if we can't even get started. On Monday I go to see my boss to get payed. I'll inquire about what times are ok for him in case we have to change.

[douglas]

Oops, I completely forgot about this until just now. Oh well, it wouldn't have mattered much regardless, as my internet connection has been rather unstable all evening.

[Randallw]

I had to take my mother to an appointment anyway as she was too sick to drive.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

I had an 'adventure' with the transit system, heat and the search for a slurpie and came home three hours later than I planned.

On the upside, I do now own d20 Future. Which has some pretty pictures, but somewhere around the PL equipment section I started falling asleep.

[Randallw]

d20 future. Did you have any ideas how to incorporate it? Note though that I wouldn't be willing to buy it.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Given that we just finished fighting nazis in large mechs in the other game...No. Absolutly no idea, don't wanna think about it, you can't make me!

[Fyron]

Nazis in mechs? That is not very D&D.

Sorry guys, I got wrapped up in packing and moving, forgetting about the game session.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

It was fun, though.

* The fun part came when my character figured out how to drive the mechs...

[Randallw]

You're moving?

[narf poit chez BOOM]

...Huh. Musta missed that.

Probably moving back home from college.

[Randallw]

So are we ok for this week, or is Fyron indisposed. Also, Fyron, can you check your email if you haven't already, about some webhosting.

[Randallw]

I'm not feeling 100%, and seeing as how no one has commented since my last message I don't feel I can have a session this week, seeing as how I have to plan my schedule in advance. I really would appreciate it if people could let me know if they plan to attend sessions, even if it's a simple "yes I'll turn up". Is there a problem these days? I know there's some sort of holiday season around July 4 with people having to move around, and as mentioned Fyron is apparently moving or something these days.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Sorry, didn't feel up to reading through the forum yesterday.

But right now I'm getting a headache, so skipping sounds good to me.

[Violist]

I don't generally check the forums until the day of the session either. I'll try to remember to check earlier though, if that's an issue.

And... I just found out that I will be busy on Thursday evenings for the summer, so a move to another day would be nice. Tuesdays are but I'd be a bit late, Sundays I can't do. Otherwise, I'm free. Sorry about this. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/fear.gif

[Randallw]

I don't want to be bossy but it would help. Basically I need to know if I can take my medication the night before. I can get away with skipping it 1 night, but when I take it I sleep in the morning and can't get out of bed to play. If I knew before hand that there was no session I could sleep in on purpose. That said let's hope we can play in roughly 11 hrs http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[douglas]

I should be there this time..

[Violist]

That's right... you're in a different continent than the rest of us, aren't you?

[Fyron]

Dunno what spambots would do with an IP address, but might as well be safe. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Sorry, forgot about an appointment. I'll be late.

[Randallw]

There will be a short delay as my sister does her assignment. 30 minutes.

[Randallw]

Sorry guys, what I took to be tiredness from just waking up is turning into a cold. Lack of energy, sore eyes and runny nose. I'll pop over to OpenRPG and we can talk about another time.

Well I don't know what a spambot would do but I can't figure it out. My brains a bit stuffy http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif. How about a new time then, any ideas. Thursday's not going to be good for violist and apparently tuesdays are out.

[Makinus]

Can you clarify for me the days/hours you play? preferably with a GMT zone so i can calculate if i would be able to join your group?

I´m at GMT-3 and normally have every other saturday entirely free for online gaming...

[Randallw]

Well at the moment it is supposed to be about an hour ago to 2 hours from now, but as I said we're going to change it because of peoples new schedules, probably.

[Randallw]

Are we going to discuss a new time, or try to stick to the current one?

[Violist]

I'd appreciate a discussion of new times. As I've said, Thursdays aren't possible and every other Saturday (next one isn't available. Sundays might be possible but they'd have to be in the morning and early afternoon, PST.

[Randallw]

Ok, now at the moment I am away from work for the next month but my normal schedule is monday, tuesdays and thursday. Keep in mind this is the day after everyone else, so I would be unavailable on sundays, monday and wednesday. It is open to change if my boss feels like it.

[Fyron]

I'm available pretty much any time that it is not the middle of the night in Australia. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

I would prefer not to schedule for the weekends, since I fear I would have to cancel randomly.

Makinus:

We have been playing from 12 AM to 3 AM GMT of late. At least, it is 5 PM PST, which is GMT -8, but there is a +1 in there for daylight savings time currently... Good 'ole timezones!

This time slot would seem to be 9 PM to 12 AM for you. I have no idea what your schedule is like. I don't know if we can start any earlier than this, as it is in the morning for Randallw.

[Randallw]

next question. Are we going to try tomorrow?

[narf poit chez BOOM]

I should be able to be there.

[douglas]

Summer semester at college is approaching finals week for me. I don't think I can spare the time to play today and I'm none too sure about the next few weeks.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

I'm assuming the game isn't happening this time?

[Randallw]

Apparently not, seeing as how douglas can't play and violist can't, oh and no one woke me up http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Randallw]

So, are we going to stop for a few more weeks since Douglas doesn't think he can play for a few weeks and Violist needs to determine a new schedule?

[narf poit chez BOOM]

My brains been pretty fried lately, so it would be fine with me.
