Since Alias had brought it up, I figured Id ask. Would anyone be interested in trying a One-off DnD game over chat? I figured this would be a good way to test if it was viable, and I have a couple of the Living Forgotten Realm modules for 4th on hand.

All 4th edition books are allowed, as are Jonas's anthro races.

Game time would probably have to be between 7 and Midnight EST(GMT -5) if during the week, or between 10am and 9pm EST if on Saturday or Sunday.

So, would anyone be interested?

Hmm...I might be able to.  Most weekends I spend doing homework, but I'm not opposed to taking a few hours out of that, at all.

Odds are I won't be up that early on a Saturday, but if you're willing to start a bit later, I could probably pull that off.

I would be VERY interested, if not for work and well, timezones... I'd be a boat anchor to you folks, our access times overlapping only narrowly except for saturdays, maybe... and that's why I liked the forum one. {:(
Best of luck, have fun...

Thanks for reading,

I'm on most of the time, excluding every-other-weekend due to Virginia *Grumbles*

I could probably make it, though on Tuesdays and Thursdays I usually don't get back from class until around 8pm.

Well that is a good group, so I guess maybe roll with this.

Main plan as I said would be one module, which Im guessing from whats been said would be best done on saturday, time determined by what works best. Game can be done through Grand Hall chat, or by RPTools, which is a program with chat, dice and map tools for use with the game.

With that in mind, what are your guys best times?

Saturdays are usually pretty open.  I can set an alarm and probably make it any time, though I'll be groggier, earlier.

Any other opinions on that? Just curious so we can get stuff shaped up and I can get a date set.

Ok, I think its time I starting getting stuff together I think. Who can work with a game that started around 2-3pm EDT(GMT -5) on December 4th and if that doesn't work, what sort of time would work better?

Hmm...yeah, I can probably be up by noon on a Saturday.  That should work for me.

Actually, I'm going to have to withdraw from this. I have a lot of stuff due on monday and I really need to focus my work efforts.

Ok, unless someone says differently, I think that will be the time. December 4th at 2pm Eastern.

With that in mind, time to get a few other things clear for game time.

Characters need to be level 1, and any printed resource is allowed, plus the anthromorphic races that Jonas created. One other note is I would advise everybody to do a read over of "A Players Guide to the Forgotten Realms" since that is the worldscape, and there is a small regional bonus that the Living World Game also included.

Board play will be done on MapTools...which can be downloaded here: http://www.rptools.net/ if this is an issue for people, I might be able to pull off some sort of videostream based setup, but I would prefer running through the program.

As for modules, you have the choice of:
CORM 1-1 "The Black Knight of Arabel"
BALD 1-1 "Flames of Initation"
and
TYMA 1-1 "Elder Wisdom"

I could probably dig up other ones from the Wizards site, but thats what I have on hand.

So...what do you guys think?
