[D&DN] Open Playtest via Virtual Tabletop

[Jan van Leyden]

I want to play/run a the open playtest game(s) of DDN, but my group lacks interest and flexibility.

Therefore I'd like to organize an online game using the playtest material in form of a double playtest:

The game will be run using the beta test version of EpicTable, a VTT software I'm involved with for testing purposes and the material of the open playtest, which will be available from May, 24th.

Games would be held on weekday nights in the European timeframe. My preferred time would be 7 pm to 11-12 pm GMT. As this will probably a one shot or at least irregular game, I'm rather flexible concerning the days.

Anyone interested in this affair should a) sign up fo the playtest at the WotC site and b) reply to this thread.

Feel free to ask any questions either in one of the two froums or vial PM to me.

Well darn. I was all excited until I read up on EpicTable. Why do people feel that they need to reinvent the wheel?

I'd love to but I doubt my monitor will deal with the software. I have one of those bugged ASUS monitors who keeps resyncing especially in games and throws me out of programs so unless another way to play is used it likely won't work.

Well, I prefer not to fix a truck's wheel onto my bicycle...

If you doubt your monitor's capability to handle a VTT game, you might want to try installing and running the beta: EpicTable.

PM me if you want to give it a short try before enlisting for the test. I could set up a small sandbox with which we could check whether your monitor misbehaves.

Interested here, and I can make the hours. Further, I won't mind giving EpicTable a try.

 

[Lwaxy]

Yeah it is worth a try I guess.

 

[Jan van Leyden]

Well, we're out of luck for the time being...

The Playtest FAQ states pretty clearly the online usage of the playtest material is not allowed for the time being.

Thanks for your interest and let's hope for a more favorable development!

Yeah I saw... but hey, you are in Münster, not too far away from us. Happen to know 2 others in your area maybe? Husband and me are signed up for playtesting but most of our RL groups won't bother or can't sign up.

Well, I'll go prodding my gaming buddies tomorrow! I'm not sure, but two might be possible.
