Gaging Interest: Chat room D&D - Page 5

I have a few ideas in mind for characters, but I'm unsure of what house rules you have or what books you're banning.

Ape Boy · 03-18-2009, 03:03 PM

Well, the only guideline so far is books are 3.5 only. The first meeting is where we'll pick a DM, who will then choose what they would like to use and set the rules.

No limit on people, just show up Thursday 7 PM EST.

So we're obviously doing the first session through mIRC... What server? What channel?

Professor Smarmiarty · 03-18-2009, 05:03 PM

I can't make it tommorow as we've got a big dinner/boozefest on but in general I should be ok.
If it turns out tommorow that no one willing to DM I'm more than willing to and have done so in the past but if someone wants to do it that's fine. I happy just to play and will mean you guys don't have to work around my crazy schedule.

Sorry, was gone all day. In the chatbox, you do rolls with brackets. [1d6+4], etc. At least that's how I remember it. And the only difficulty with getting people in a room together is that one person needs to host. Then everyone plugs the IP into the program and it'll connect them.

Gobi · 03-18-2009, 11:38 PM

so the chatbox in maptools I'm assuming?

Ape Boy · 03-19-2009, 02:21 AM

Download both. At some point, we'll jump between the two and see what we like better.

Who wants to host the room for Maptool? Argent?

The Argent Lord · 03-19-2009, 04:32 AM

Okay, so I have a fun idea for a game, that actually might work better on IRC, because we would quite possibly need to have characters in other places doing things without the rest of the party knowing what's going on. Does IRC allow for private messages/conversations, because that would also be helpful.

Ape Boy · 03-19-2009, 05:22 AM

Yeah, IRC does private conversations incredibly easily.

The Argent Lord · 03-19-2009, 12:18 PM

Awesome, I may end up DMing and using that, then, if nobody else wants to. I am running a RL game too, so I'll definitely give someone else the chance if they want to, though.
