[X] My Assistant

[KnightRunner]

I am available for Saturday March 13th

[Darquewing]

Sweet! I've cleared it with the family, and I am good to go anytime on the 13th. So lets say starting around 5pm Central time?

KnightRunner, we'd be happy to have you. I do warn though, this will be my first time to game online, so I may not be at my peak GM skill.

Lurker do you think we could use your Ventrillo Server for the game? Also, GMs have to register for the SRMissions? Or can I just pick it up at the online store? I'll try to get it tomorrow and read over it this weekend. I'm looking into OpenRPG as a possibility also. Mainly cause I like cool toys (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Though we might just be doing it your way with IRC because I can leech experience off of you (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

[LurkerOutThere]

Ecellent!

You may certainly use my server I will post details about it shortly, I need to dig them back up as I havn't done any online gaming since i got the new computer. Just to confirm your running ready set gogh? You don't need to register or anything of that nature just pick up the module off the store. If you want to use open RPG i'm more then happy with that personally i've never used it.

[KnightRunner]

Well I am new to the online gaming as well, so it will be a learning experience for us both.

[Darquewing]

Lurker, thanks for the help with the server. And Ready, Set, Gogh! would be the mission I will run. If it works out well, I'll be happy to rotate with you on running the online missions.

Well I am new to the online gaming as well, so it will be a learning experience for us both.

Like the blind leading the blind =) Seriously though, I hope it goes well, and is enjoyable for everyone.



Also, did we have any takers for a fourth player?

[LurkerOutThere]

Unfortunately my girl has a work commitment that afternoon so unless everyone wanted to swap to a morning run (ending before 3PM central) it's a no go sadly for her.

Here's the server info.
Hostname: vent29.gameservers.com
Server Port: 5355
Password: bushido

In the past for an IRC server i've used irc.sandwich.net and the room #SRM then I usually just invite and use my friends dicebot for the rolling. When I run I generally verybally do most of the stuff via the ventrillo server and use private messages over IRC to send private messages to individual or groups of players. Sometimes i'll start up a seperate room for matrix or astral activities.

[KnightRunner]

I am available all day on the 13th.

[Darquewing]

Lurker, we can switch to the morning if you prefer. I can start at 9 or 10 am central time. Do you think that would give us time for it?

KnightRunner, are you okay with starting earlier?


Also, does everyone already have characters made for the SRMissions campaign? If so, could I get a copy of them? Just so I know who's doing what and so on.

[LurkerOutThere]

Guessing based on other modules i've ran yes 4 hours should be sufficient 10 would be fine with me or 9 if you prefer, i'm imposing on your charity so I have little right to impose further.

[KnightRunner]

I am ok with the morning. Just say when. I have the whole day set aside for game stuff. Right now SRmissions has top priority. (Been doing other stuff lately and need a change)

As for the character sheet, I will send it to you sometime later tonight. I am at my daughter band comp most of today. He is an Ork former detective for the Pueblo Council. He is a tough gumshoe with a knack for criminology and forensics.

[LurkerOutThere]

I sent you my sheet, I will also poll my contacts and see if anyone wants to get in on this.

[Darquewing]

One more would definitely make it a party =)

As for how I plan to run the game, I am liking OpenRPG thus far, so we'll probably use that and Lurker's Ventrillo Server. I doubt we'll get around to using all the nifty map do-dads, but the SR4 init system is pretty neat. And it has the built in chat with whisper, group whisper, etc. Also, you can set up aliases with different fonts. I think this good as we can easily create and save differing font formats for communication. This allows switching back forth between them real quick and easy. So we know if characters are talking normal, via commlink, or some other way. Also, their is quick and easy whispering to the GM.

Not that we have to have all communication through the chat. I'm just amused at the moment with the neatness of it, so am rambling.

I have purchased the Mission, and am looking over it.

As for the time, I'd like to try for 9:30 central time as I hate getting up too early on Saturdays, but it will also give us some time to make sure we're all setup properly and such.

I'll PM everyone with the connection info for OpenRPG by Friday. I'll be running a seperate server here at home so we don't have people jumping in and out.

[LurkerOutThere]

I really appreciate you doing this Darque. I guess I should go play with OpenRPG some.

[Darquewing]

Glad to be of service =) Though my GM skills are rusty, I will try not to make it feel like a visit to the proctologist.

[LurkerOutThere]

Do we want to start a seperate thread in the hope of getting a fourth person. I'd actually be ok with running with three but more couldn't hurt.

Galen

[Darquewing]

I'm good with it. I was kind of hoping we'd have a fourth on Saturday. 4-5 is good for me.

[KnightRunner]

Works for me

[Darquewing]

Okay, I won't be using a deicated OpenRPG server, and instead will be running on a public one. Which and what the room name and stuff will be I don't know yet. Will get it to everyone by Friday.

Lurker, do you have fiance's character sheet also? That way i can have them handy during the run.

[LurkerOutThere]

My fiance's sheet is much simpler then mine as she started as a pregen combat mage and hasn't changed too much since then (she's banking exp to initiate). and hasn't played as many modules as me. But i'll see what i can do. Also i left out my simsense acceleraor cyberware was wondering why my essence total wans't mathcing up right.

[phillosopherp]

I would actually love to be a part of this but I am not a Con goer, so I don't know if that will effect anything. I do have a Rigger that I would like to use if that would be cool.

EDIT: Wow just went to the Catalyst site and read about this and its awesome! Wish I was more of a con goer for these type of games.

We would love to have you just make sure you have a legal starting character. One thing to keep in mind is manhattan while it is possible by a vehicle many of the modules arn't geared heavily for it. At the very least I would make sure you have a fake sin and fake license for why you have the vehicles (maybe your a private delivery contractor). We'd love to have you just wanted to make sure you wern't all set up for a vehicle rigger and then not have much to do.

[phillosopherp]

cool. I actually looked over some of the things in there and I would actually want to start a real character that I could take to games that might spring up in my area. So I will probably make a Techno if you all don't mind. Since if I was going to play in a persistent world I would play a more "me" character!

[KnightRunner]

Just curious what that gives us Party Make-up wise.

Buscador is who I am playing, he is an Ork former detective. He has some decent Social and combat skills with a moderate amount of cyber to back it up. He has a knack for problem solving/data searching and is trained in forensics and criminology. If you are looking for an investigator, Buscador is your Ork.

And his party members are.....?

[Darquewing]

I've only had a chance to make a cursory glance at the character sheets so far, but I only have KnightRunner's and Lurker's so far. I'm still waiting to get his fiance's.

phillosopherp, we'd love to have you. If you want to make a technomancer I see no issue with it. Just make sure your character follows the SRMissions guidelines. For the most part it is a standard charaacter, though there are some limitations on qualities that can be chosen.

For all, I have officially decided that Traipse OpenRPG 1.8 will be the version of OpenRPG to use. I've had some stability issues with the standard OpenRPG version.

Since I need to use a public server, the "Living Knowledge Arcana" server in the Server Browser will be the one I'm going to use.

There will be a room called "Ready Set Gogh" I will create on Saturday morning by 9:00AM Central time.

Lurker will have a Ventrillo Server, for voice chat, and should get us the info for it pretty soon.

[LurkerOutThere]

Here's the info again


Here's the server info.
Hostname: vent29.gameservers.com

You will need to download ventrillo which can be done Here

As to characters i'm playing Dr. Rattler a adrenaline junky ex-military info warfare guy. He's primarily built as a hacker but he's pretty decent with pistols and has enough ware in him to keep him competative in most gunfights. I've tried to round him out so he has some social skills to reflect his professional demeanor and habit of trying to take a leadership role if the team rudderless but I'll definitely defer social duties to those who are better.

My fiance is playing Red the combat mage, loud, agressive boisterous, she likes to burn and blow shit up although she also doesn't like being shot so she can go ice code pro when she needs to. She's a good woman to have at your back when the drek hits the oscillator.

Both of them play well with others, there was that one time in Denver but there was extenuatign circumstance (AKA he had it coming).
