Yeah, definitely not next Saturday for me, but I already mentioned it to Episkey. ~

Hello everyone. I hope you have all been well - just an official update.~
As of right now, a tutorial map is in the works. I plan to start of the D&D campaign with a tutorial that will cover a myriad of topics. It is ... well ... a tutorial - so it's the time to learn the basics of playing Dungeons and Dragons.
Your skills will be put to the test. But since the tutorial isn't linked to the main story-line, it's not like any failures will have any long-lasting consequences. But you should still all try your best, you may get rewarded in the end if you do a good job.
Now, unless something really crazy happens on my part - the tutorial will take place on
October 6th and
October 7th.
Please refer to
this post in order to know what day you will be playing and what time the game will start!
That being said, please continue working hard on your character's backstory and be sure to keep yourself updated for any future notices. Anything important will be posted on this thread, but I commonly make announcements in the Skype D&D chat as well.

The 7th and the 8th are a Sunday and a Monday. Was that your intention, Episkey?
/only knows this because i'm busy from 9-2 and 7-11 on the 6th, which is a Saturday.

Nope! It was not. I meant October 6th and 7th, I was sure to properly edit my previous post.
Thanks for catching this.

Mundane games of DnD are basically no magic allowed.

Hello everyone. I hope you have all been well - just another official update.~
As of right now, the tutorial map is pretty much finished. As such - the tutorial WILL take place
this weekend (i.e Saturday and Sunday).
As a reminder, these are the two groups that have been created:
[SPOILER="Spoiler"]
Group A's D&D game will take place on Sundays from 7:15 pm - 10:15 pm EST.
Group A Members
Arsik
ShadowFox31
Shanghai
Sekwaf
Guyverunit4
__________________________________________________
Group B's D&D game will take place on Saturdays from 3:00 pm - 6:00 pm EST.
Group B Members
Mathii
Juno
Piero
Claudia
Kueh
[/SPOILER]
Now then, some things you should all know.
- The tutorial will take place during the entirety of those three hours. I plan on scheduling two 5 minute breaks, so you don't all get blood clots in your legs. That being said, those breaks aren't going to happen at predetermined times. I don't wish to stop the flow of battle for just a 5 minute break.
- While the game will start at the scheduled time, the actual MapTools server will be up an hour or two beforehand. Those who are familiar with MapTools know how long it can take for players to download maps. While I've tried to minimize any huge files - I still want my maps to look aesthetically pleasing. Just to avoid any problems, do yourself a favor and join the server early - before the scheduled time.
- Review the Player's HandBook 1, before the tutorial. I mean, it is a tutorial - but having a basic knowledge on how to play D&D would be easier for you.
- Lastly - just have fun. I hope that even something as simple as a tutorial can be enjoyable for everyone. Still remember your fellow players are the people you will interact with for the rest of the game.~

:worry: I so nervous
But eager for this to finally start :awesome:
But pessimistic about how much I'll actually understand :scare:
But at least I'll have something to kill the boredom :skip:

A simple guide to connect to a MapTools server
With the first tutorial for the Saturday group staring today, I just wanted to remind everyone on how to connect to a Server.
You should be now connected with no problems!~

Sigh.
I really want to play, but I just don't think I can make it. At least, not with my life the way it is now, because i'm insanely busy and can't/don't want to be tethered to my computer. I just haven't got the time.
Sorry, guys.

Awww :c
That's fine! Life is a higher priority. But indeed, if you ever have free time on your hands - feel free to contact me.
The first tutorial went well, but the entire tutorial is will probably take two weekends to finish.
*Note that the Sunday's group tutorial starts in about
one hour!*
