Hey if anyone needs help with anything before ascending I'll be more than happy to help. I just retook the game after reading this thread! I've played on and off, anyway if I'm online I'll help you out no prob. And if anyone can help me defeat Glint after ascending I'll take that too. I have...

As a last resort, when the computer is in that state where is supposed to be off but isn't, push the power button (the regular one) for 4 seconds and it will turn off. Don't just press and release, hold it for 4 or 5 seconds until everything goes out.

I would like the 2nd path to be 4e already. I'll probably be playing the 1st one when 4e comes out (and even that can be a problem). 6 books of 3.5e adventure (roughly 1 year worth of gaming) after I have already switched will be a problem.

That is the most important question of them all. I was wondering when someone would ask it, because I didn't want to stir the pot ;)

There actually is a thread called "OGL/d20 License" ready for this discussion on Gleemax when they surprise us with the news ;) So I'm pretty sure some sort of OGL will be supported. And Friadoc, that's an excellent idea. I've asked before something like that but have gotten the obvious "D&D...

My thoughts too, check out our philosophy, a philosophy that was carried over since the 1st incarnation (non-public) of the app years ago. I can speak volumes on this, but won't on this thread. I'll only say that the beta is free but will disappear as soon as I finish the release version. With...

Oh yea, a headset is a must. Don't even try to do it with your crappy webcam mic, with an open mic on the desktop, or, Olidammara forbid, your laptop mic! oh the painful memories! :eek: These might be ok when having a conversation with a single other person, some background noise will be...

You are mostly right except in regards to unheroic behavior, as in that case I'll have a talk with the player, and if the behavior continues I'll just uninvite him to play. But talking about the raise death function being replaced by action points, yeah, that's exactly what I'd aim for. The...

Wow, so many memories and good games mentioned in this thread. For the top, I'd say: Planescape: Torment - THE best CRPG of the Baldur's Gate kind. The whole Thief series - use headphones and play it in the dark you taffer! The whole Soulreaver series - the action is awesome, and the story is...

Well these are the modifications I have for action points regarding that: When conscious, if you are damaged and would die instantly because of it, you instead are at -9 and stable. This costs 2 action points, if you don't have enough you die. When conscious, if you receive a save or die...

Interesting, I've been thinking about dropping it myself. I already use action points, slightly modified from Unearthed Arcana, so deaths are reduced right there. I think that is enough to get rid of Raise Dead. I'd like to hear opinions of people who have actually dropped it, does it have any...

Thanks! Yes, eventually it will be sold commercially. As for how long I've been working on it... it's a tricky question as this is the 2nd incarnation of the program. I'd say this incarnation started (with a head start in design because of the previous one) a few months before Fantasy Grounds...

I definitely use languages in my game. Haughty elves speak elven or sylvan among themselves, if you want to eavesdrop in the conversation you better have one of those. In general, creatures react more favorably if you speak to them in their native language. Orcs don't go about talking in...

Gaming over the internet has its benefits and its drawbacks. The biggest drawback is the lack of human interaction. Watching your buddy piling up dice because he is lost about what's going on in the game is a classic moment. Sharing pizza and talking nonsense is also a staple you'll not have...

I always use published adventures (and for the last year I've been a Paizo slave and loving it), though not necessarily as written. I may change things here and there (specially treasure) and adapt a few NPCs if I have another lesser story arc I want to play out. Otherwise, I don't have the time...

I don't. Not even when I play, and I actually play online and have 2 screens. But, just like others have said, if I need to lookup a rule I open a book. Call me antiquated, but I love the feel of books and I like to have them all around me when I'm playing.

Yes! The other 3 are ready and bugging me to start already! :D I'll email you so you have my email too.

Friday game starts at 7pm EST until we can't play any longer :p which should be around 1 or 2 am. Details about the game? Hmm... we play in Greyhawk (my Greyhawk, but that should go without saying). Only PHB classes, feats, and spells. What else? There are a couple of house rules but nothing...

Then you won't like my game. We do more than just kill.

No voice. We tried that at the beginning. It was good, specially because it had been 2 years since last we played. We were getting our bearings around the game again, and it was mostly hack'n slash. But the moment we amped up the roleplay it turned into a disaster! People were speaking on top of...
