Things we could use...

[Xath]

We have a general board. Can we have more? Can we have a specific IC thread, so that we can have individual conversations on threads, and post to them like we do in emails? Then everyone has access to read them, but we don't have to go through the hassle of putting them on the boards.

Also....any chance of there being a Story Hour in progress thread? Where we can see what's going on with the SH before everyone else gets their grubby little mits on it?

I also think it would be nice to have a thread of Equipment that has been created by players and then house ruled into the game. That way, we just have to look it up on the forum.

And another thing; we could all scan our character sheets in and post them on the forum so that if...anyone...forgets their sheet, everyone has access and we can just download from the forum.

If you look under the general thread, there's a few other thread started. As Kennon said in his first post, we're not going to have a general IC thread - instead, if you want to have an IC disucssion - start a sub-thread in the general forum (because we *can't* have more than one forum) for that specific disucssion - also look at the thread labels, they are all custom so that you can start specific KoA related threads within our general forum.

[Queen_Dopplepopolis]

This, for example, could go under a title like Forum for things we need to do with our new little home.

[The_Universe]

Yeah. Like, if Justice and Xath want to talk to NPC X, start up a thread for that, rather than putting all of the IC discussion in a single thread.

Also, the thread categories are fun. Let me know if I should add more.

Good idea about the character sheets.

So, who has a scanner?

We do! If you need to wait until next time we game, I bet you can scan them in.

However - who has a program for character sheets? Would be an easier way to keep them updated, I think. That way, we could just save them here in the forum - and make changes to them when we level up and the like without having to scan them in every time. AND - this would make them more read-able - as it is sometimes difficult to read other peoples print.

Greg and I do.

If ya'll trust us we can take everyone's char. sheet sunday scan them and post them. Getting them back all depends on when we see everyone again, so you may be sans sheet for a week or more. Besides leveling I don't really use my sheet between games, but just in case someone did I want that to be a forewarning :P

UPDATE: nevermind forgot you guys had one since Kennon was asking who had one.... would probably better to just use yours then it can quickly.

I have one that is a scan of a sheet where regular word doc can be manipulated on top of it.
Good point- looks just like a normal sheet Bad point- sometimes the lines do not match up exactly takes a little manipulation

We also have one Greg found not sure the system specifically, but we can show you next session- I think Gertie copied it to her computer for use?-
Good point- automatically tallies things and changes them for you
Bad point- leaves off some of the 'basic' input boxes from a WotC's sheet

[Queen_Dopplepopolis]

We'll take a look at the one that Greg/Gertie have... could also see about making one with the important information with Excell - I've got some Excel skillz.

Also - later today, may post a thread in General asking the enworld population about programs for sheets...

I've used the program. Perhaps someone who has it close at hand could post it to this thread as a .zip file?

Could go in same place or another one for those cool stories but not IC convos- for example Justice and the Dukes marriage would have gone there that sort of stuff
And ones like Xath and Arhconus' mariage can get put

Either that, or we should just start a sub-thread for Attachments or Important Documents... that way, we don't have to dig for them later.

This Forum is not locked to the public... not that a lot of people are going to be sneaking peaks at the Story Hour... but, if it's a goal to keep it out of the general publics eyes, it may not be a good idea to post it here.

The story hour bit is up to Kennon. I know lots of writters who just don't like showing thier material till it is final or almost final.

And I think people would really have to go searching or really want to look for a sneak peak to just be wandering through this forum. And if pre-SH post got put in with the current IC stories again people would have to REALLY want adn be searching for it.

[The_Universe]

I don't care. I can post SH in-progress stuff if you want. It's (probably) not ever going to published anywhere but here, anyway.

I believe Gertie was requesting that you put up your SH as you are writing it...

[The_Universe]

Yeah. I can do that, if you guys want. It's not a deep-seated private thing, or anything. I just usually wait until I have something that makes sense before I post.

Honestly, I post it in the SH forum within hours of when a segment is finished. So, any preview you got would be...minimal.

Moved PC Profiler to a specific Character Sheet thread.

Kat, could you maybe post that program (as a zip file) in the Character Sheet thread? Another tool can't hurt.

Perhaps I missed something, but I didn't see a custom label option when I started the new thread. Where is it?

[The_Universe]

It's to the left of the title box when you start a new post. It can also be accessed from the "edit post" link. I changed it for you, for I am the ALL POWERFUL MODERATOR!
