In theory free all those days, and all sound excellent. I sorta doubt that the 26th will be generally available, however.

I work on the 12th, so I would be late.

We are out of town on the 26th...

Can do the 2nd, but I may be a tad late. We are doing a bday party for Livi.

What if we shoot for the 12th and Jan 2nd?

Guys, I'm sorry, I'm out the 12th.

Oh, I get it, you're a little tease. Ok, fine. You don't need to answer to me. But you will have to answer to Jesus.

I guess we wait for someone to ruin January 2nd. Who will it be? It could be any one of us.

Wikipedia says it's a holiday in Haiti, so, there's that.

I've had it up to here with Haiti.

So you Haiti Haiti?

Let's do the dance....

Totes good on the 13th!

But either the 30th is out for me (likely) or the 23rd (unlikely). I have a two week trip, and I need to figure out which is the Saturday I'll be in Texass.

Well, in the absence of a response from Cooley, I put up Feb 6th.

I can't make it at 3:30. I'm flying back that day and my flight lands at 2 PM, so I'll need a little bit longer to get there.

6th should be fine, especially with a later start.

I really hate it when I work out a beautiful story and plot and suddenly realize it involves no combat, puzzles, or... really nothing at all. Sigh.

Story is good. As long as it's not hours on end of nothing but prose with no puzzles, combat, etc., then go for it.

I certainly don't do that. But the changes were made... there will be a plentiful assortment of things to kill you. I still need to actually generate them, but generating NPCs and smaller dungeons is pretty quick compared to the ideas behind them.

"I still need to actually generate them..."

Generate = +5x TPK Hounds, SHIP IT!

Oh, no, that was done and ready for the previous session. It's the next quest of the Ghost of Hilliam Grosser that needed some more attention.

I figured out the mystery with Roll20... we were using an app we did not need. The Roll20 app is for a user to have a character sheet, whisper to the DM, get handouts, etc. It does NOT use the map... and given our style of play, I do not believe we need it at all.

The actual map is accessed through their website, open in some mobile browser. This requires a subscription... but ONLY for the GM. It also unlocks the Dynamic Lighting, which is fucking awesome. I spent $50 for an entire year, and I'm futzing with it right now. It is pretty cool. Since we don't need the chat and other functionality, we can use essentially the full screen of the tablet. It's not huge, but it's... ok.


We will need tablets, of course. I will make sure to have USB available, but I don't know that I'll have cords you for Apple folks. We will also need to work on tokens. I would like to make them graphically appear to be tokens. Almost like coins with faces on them. I have seen this style on their website. I'm looking at an overhead view right now on a tablet, and... well, it's hard to tell people apart. Also, there is no facing, which makes it deceptive.

I'm really dubious about faces on them man. I think letters will be better.

The moment you put a picture on it, it becomes that thing and no other. We're way more visual than anything else. You put an icon down, BAM, it's set in stone. Pick an elf with brown hair and no one will ever once think Livid had white hair with a tinge of blue. It's like that for almost everything- you pick that picture, that's your character, and a mile of descriptive words will never make a difference. In a recent email chain, you mentioned that there's basically no way to describe something that the players don't have an existing image of, when discussing new outsider types- it's the same thing.

I suggest we get an icon for the good guys and distinguish by color, or something. Alternatively, we could look into having an artist go from descriptions, but I have no fucking clue what that would cost.

How many Apples we got? Any old school Apples to worry about? I can order a couple lightning cables and bring them over so we can't forget them going forward.

I didn't mean like "Search for elven archer" and use whatever comes up. That said, I am tired of asking "Who is green?"

For all I care you can make a circle and sketch out a face in Paint. Change it as you go along. It could also be something a little more abstract. We could have a feathered hat or tall boot for the swashbuckler and a full plate helm for the paladin. Whatever it is, we're doing more than color.

Checking in. Any thoughts on a March date yet?

H and I are lonely in Line. You guys should join.
