  Well, I'm not sure.. Mathii was going to DM I thought, but he seems to have disappeared? If you someone had brought it up earlier I might have been able to get something together for tonight, but at the moment I don't have anything. Guess I could grab another premade map and make up a quick story if enough people are on that want to play tonight. Otherwise we could hoot for tomorrow. Lol.
  
  I would like it to be a weekly thing personally, but I guess it really depends on what everyone else wants to do/how much time they are willing to commit to it.

  
  
  A weekly thing sounds like the way to go. So excited.
  
  Tomorrow is Saturday, so I would think more people would be available. I'm free for tonight as well, but I think you can agree that it's a bit soon. Unless you really want to arrange everything right now.
  
  Also, have you had the opportunity to mess around with Framework I messaged you about?
  If not, that's okay. But I was thinking if you wanted to use it, you could try it out for a test run.

  I'm still reading through it and trying to get used to it. There is so much stuff. Lmao. Do I even need to worry about the Player Character part or would everyone be expected to make their own?

  Oh. I see. It's a lot of good stuff I swear! Although, I know what you mean. It took me a good 2-3 hours of just messing around with it. Now, I feel pretty confident on the features the framework has, like macros and character creation ... but that's the extent of my knowledge. I'm not all to familiar with creating maps/encounters.
  
  As for player characters, everyone makes their own. They don't HAVE to, but the player character creation has a built-in character sheet and it's set to the 4e guidelines. So, weapons, implements, stats, and all that jazz :D
  
  But, there's no point in making a character since it only works if you use the framework. If I put my player character token made via that framework into a new ordinary campaign, then none of the macros/settings work.
  
  I would be happy to make a little guide on character creation if needed though. I also believe monster creation follows the same process, if not easier.

  I'm up for tonight or tomorrow. I'm off work both days, somehow.
• Nithiel wrote on 2012-01-28 05:33
  Alright. This week we'll probably do it tomorrow seeing as I didn't know I'd have to come up with anything. Next week we'll do it on Friday as usual unless something comes up or OP comes back or something.

  Someone should run me through how to connect to maptools using Hamachi.

  If you haven't joined the network, name is Mabination2, and I don't think there's a password, do so. Then when we start the game, who ever is going to be the host (at this point it's looking like Nithiel will) will start up MapTools, load up the map, and start a server. Then when that's taken care of, you, with your client of MapTools, under File, click on "Connect to Server". In the new window that pops up, under the "Direct" tab, you'll enter his Hamachi IP address (5.98.95.53) where it says "Address", and next to "Port", you enter "51234". At that point, you now just wait to load the map and everyone else to join, and then begin the adventure.

  Thanks. (I tried to rep you for this, but couldn't.)

  I'm putting the finishing touches on the game while Epi works on something for me.
  
  Roll Call! :D

  Here. I promise I won't fail(as hard) like last time! :thumb:

  I'm here! I just messaged him something, so he can take a look.
  I hope that it works out! :whistle:

  Here, mostly.

  Thats 3... Anyone else?
• Arsik wrote on 2012-01-29 07:38
  If you haven't started yet, I'm now ready to play. Just got back from work, so I couldn't log in earlier.
• Kueh wrote on 2012-01-29 07:39
  I will be ready after redownloading maptools and hamachi. I'm not on my main computer.
