Message: <blockquote data-quote="Arkhandus" data-source="post: 3918859" data-attributes="member: 13966">I've been gaming almost exclusively over OpenRPG for the past 5-6 years (only recently being involved in a few PbP and face-to-face games once again, and still running my OpenRPG D&D game).  It's fairly simple to use and reasonably stable (though it may have the occasional error, but Windows and other programs give me more errors than OpenRPG does).It may be kind of touchy if you try to run a game with numerous 'miniatures' on the map simultaneously, but it handles the average D&D combat fine (it just runs slower if you have a lot of .gif images on the map for miniatures).  As far as I know, the Fog of War function doesn't work currently, due to some problems with it in the most recent versions, but they'll get that function working again at some point if they haven't already (I haven't updated my version to the latest version in some time now).You can recruit groups for OpenRPG games by posting on the OpenRPG forums or just checking around the game servers, or running a recruitment server of your own for a while.  You can use the same computer to run a game server and play (I'd recommend using the basic OpenRPG Server application to create the temporary game server, not the 'console'.  When running the server, you can end the temporary server when finished by typing in 'kill' (without the ' ' ) and hitting the Enter key).Don't be discouraged if some of the people who seem interested in a campaign just mysteriously drop out, after char-gen or after one or two sessions; some of the people using OpenRPG are just flaky, but there are still plenty of dedicated gamers on it too.</blockquote>
