We had a number of problems last game, so I thought I'd address them here. 1) A lot of you were under the impression that we were playing a text only game. As I had mentioned in the forums prior to starting game, I have no problem with anyone using audio/video, but that I, as the GM, would prefer that I only use text because it alleviates my social anxiety when I am able to use text to formulate my thoughts. 2) Some of you seemed to have trouble operating the native java interface for roll20, which allows you to integrate voice and video without having to leave the whiteboard environment that roll20 uses. I generally find the virtual chatroom that roll20 provides to be useful for rolling dice and other scripting services. 3) Many of you seemed unable to find or use the browser based character generator I posted. (I posted a link upwards of 5 times) I admit I made a mistake, I had assumed the online character generator was called singularity, but apparently singularity is a separate program. The browser based program is useful because it has a custom format and can also print pdfs. It stores these files on the download section of your computer. I found that though it works with firefox, it runs better with chrome, and internet explorer has some major issues running it. 4) A couple of you had wanted to play the same general character archetype, which would have been fine if we were running with 5 or 6 players, but as it turned out 4 people dropped within the first half hour and the two that remained both wanted to play the same character archetype. It is difficult to run a setting with 2 people, much less 2 people who essentially made the same class of character. I went ahead and called it quits at that point cause it looked like we were running out of momentum. 5) I will be here next week for about thirty minutes at 4 PM pacific time on Sunday, and will continue to do so as long as least one person shows up and chooses to hang out for a little while. I will likely be preoccupied doing other things but you are welcome to chat and recruit new players as you see fit, if you know anyone who would like to join please don't hesitate to invite them.
