OOC - Mad God's Key

Just a few changes sleepystle.
Make sure to add a spellbook to your inventory. It might come in handy!

Also, you've got an additional 0 level prepared spell coming to you.

I'll have the first post up shortly!

Who's who eh? I'm 27, male if you can't tell from the writing, I'm from the US originally but moved down here (Costa Rica) 'cause my old college roommate offered me a job at an online casino/sportsbook.

Since then I've learned that sportsbooks are illegal and have stayed away from them. But I'm still in the gaming industry, running the customer service department of a moderately successful Bingo site.

I got married a couple years ago now have a daughter who's 13 months old.

Haven't really gamed all that much. Only the last year of high school and two years during college (dropped out due to grades and lack of funding; really I wasn't mature enough to handle it). Since then I've worked at gas stations, sold used cars, and at a silicon fabrication plant (we sold silicon to Motorola & Intel).

Well here is 'ole Dragoon's personal info. Whee!

I'm 32 and married and live in Minnesota, I have a BA in History (Modern European) and am currently going for my master's in managment. I work at one of the largest banks in the US, as a project manager in the IT department.

I have been playing DnD since 1984 with the Red Box set, then moved on to AD&D, then 2e and now the 3/3.5 edition. I like 3e, but I kinda miss AD&D, nostalgia, I suppose. I also have played Pendragon, Shadowrun and d20 Star Wars. I am also just starting to get into Castles and Crusades, but I haven't had time to play yet. Also, I usually DM Forgotten Realms, but I also really like Greyhawk as well and I have been playing with the same group since 1993.

As a side note I was like military board games as well, such as ASL, but not enough time or opponents for that. So it is usually a game of RISK

Interesting, is it easy to use? Intuitive menus, etc?

OOC Question : With PbP, some groups seem to post their actions out of initiative order and let the DM sort it out, while some seem to stick to posting in order. Which is it for us? I'm cool with either, but sorta prefer the in order option.

I think that IN-COMBAT order is easiest for the DM, but then you limit your player's ability to post... which is quite negative in my opinion. Tinner's choice but I'd recommend just letting people post when they're able to.

Yes. It's got a very low learning cure, which was my reason for choosing it.
That and it's free!

It's essentially a stamp-pad. Click on tile. Click to place tile. Right click to remove tile.
Very easy to pick up.

Post when you can and don't sweat it.
Once everyone has posted in a round, I'll do a wrap-up post that covers all the actions, and sets up the next round.

Sure, posting in order would be easier, but it can really bog things down.
I'm more interested in keeping this moving.
