a little slow here - family visiting from out of province (they go back this weekend) and work push has been nuts - imagine the gall of people wanting to leave early on gorgeous summer days... and the worse gall of people bringing in more work to prevent me!  :)

I have most of mine done except for some gear (should we be shopping for mosquito nets?) and my description and background history. I pretty much know what I want to write, so I should be ready by Monday. You can review the mechanics now of my character sheet on here if you want.

Well if you're struggling Abbas just try to get the background/personality/description done first as stats shouldn't be needed in the initial rp scenes.

On a lighter note;



I love Penny Arcade :D

I will leave it up to you what gear you guys want to take. What I will say is that I will be focusing on an element of realism in this campaign, i.e. it won't be just monsters etc. you have to deal with in the jungle ;) There will of course be basic supplies on board the Scilandar but who's to say you will always be on board ;)

Well, got my description done...now onto spending some time on my background and personality.

Ok..I'm done with my background and personality. How does it look? Do I need to add anything?  I only need to finish with my equipment list, and I should be ready to go.

Girlfriend's round for the weekend but will look over your sheet tommorow :] I'm not sure how far along Abbas is but I know alahendra is having some dental problems at the moment so we may have to start without him/her (?).

Hey guys, just to let you know alahendra is having some serious RL issues and is bowing out of this game.

What would you guys prefer to do, wait until I can bring in a replacement - who will in turn need further time to create their own char, or get on with the game with 4 of you? I'm happy to go with the majority here.

I've always had preference for 4 player groups.

But that just might be me oldschooling it.

I say leave it how it is.

we have warrior, MU, and priest core - good enough to run on for sure.

If need be, I can branch to take in a bit of rogue/ranger later on.

I'm fine either way.

I believe that I am ready as well.

Either way is fine with me...

Ok we'll continue on, I have possible plans for another player later on in the game if need be.

Just waiting for Abbas to do his char sheet and Linni to make a few changes to her background (since it's focused on Arabel still ;) and then we can get going!

Ok well I think everyone's itching to start roleplaying so I will go ahead and prep the opening - Abbas can join in once his sheet is finished.

You bet - should be done in a couple hours.  Our travel back was delayed by some family problems, a rainstorm, and some more family problems... quite a day.

Working half on work and half on gaming (100% on work if anyone comes into the office on this day off! :) )

I'll make a appropriate changes before I start posting, will be done by early tomorrow.

Need to touch up inventory and convert the sheet over, but the rough form's in.  Off to pick up the Mrs!

Ok, cool. I'll look over everyone's sheets and hand out background exp once they're all finished. Feel free to start roleplaying :]

So true!  Where are the other players?

Biding time until a proper introduction!

I think I'll give up with that crazy 2nd person style, it's ok for bigger intros but just seems a bit silly in smaller updates.

And yea Linni's already inside ;]

Couldn't wait any longer - must.post.gaming....

Hmm.. need to do a little researching for the computer replacement.  Nice gaming computer without making my wife's eyes bug out at the cost - such a delicate line to tread :)

What kind of gaming will you be needing it for? I doubt you'll need Pentium 5000 (?) processors for RPOL! And if it's the other kind of gaming you're after, xbox 360s are always cheap ;]

Oh and there's no posting order when outside of combat, I should probably add that to the posting etiquette. Post when and where you wish!

I'm a PC gamer (tho I don't mind the odd console game).

Gimme a nice high-graphic game, or even the MMOs that love to suck out system resources.

The set-up I had before was nosing around the quad P4s, but that was months back, so start from beginning I say, I say.  Good power production, good cooling, good sound and graphic card... yep.  That's the ticket.  't'will be a desktop tho, as I want to slave an old HD into it, and upgrades are easier, and comparable systems are much cheaper in desktop than laptop.  (I'll steal the wife's laptop if I need one for business trips *looks about furtively to ensure she's not watching him type this*)

None of them are a patch on tabletop games, but no group out here, or even a gameshop.  *feels very neglected by the gaming gods*

I like PC games but I find it so hard to keep up with the demand for upgrades. I swear to play some of the games out they expect you to manipulate warp cores and other technologies that haven't yet been invented.

I just play the old games that you always know are gunna work. Diablo I & II, Counterstrike, Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale etc. In fact I only stopped playing Ultima Online (pretty much the first MMO) about a year ago. After 13 years the playerbase is only just starting to dwindle and unlike all this WoW crap there were really dedicated roleplaying communities. Ah the memories *tear*

For graphics, I just go with the 360. Can't beat Oblivion on an HDTV *drools*
