Announcing Some Skype Games

I want to run A Stranger Storm with a few more groups before the game goes to press.

Announcing three slots, looking for 3 - 5 players each:

January 12: 6pm Pacific US time.
January 14: 6pm Eastern US time.
January 19: 6pm UK time.

Obviously with it being the same adventure you can only sign up for one of the games.

Voice chat will take place over Skype, while chatting in the Dragonsfoot forums (unless someone knows of a good Skype die roller?).

  1. I'd be up for the January 12th game. It'd be 8pm over here which would work well. Sign me up. I fear no death.

  2. I should be able to do the 12th as well.

  3. Me and Mandy should be up for the 12th, failing that maybe the 14th.

    Does this mean we have to register at Dragonsfoot?

  4. Should be available for the 19th if there is a slot free.

  5. If someone can point me to a good Skype diceroller we can use, Skype would be a good all-in-one and no reason to register anywhere else.

    Otherwise, Dragonsfoot is the easiest option I know of to get the dice rolling in-window.

  6. I'd love to get in on this for the game on the 12th or 14th.

  7. I'd love to join in the game on the 14th (or the 12th, but it looks like that's pretty full up, alas!).

  8. The 19th would be best for me -- 6pm UK time is 1pm Eastern US time, yes?

    Barring that, I can do the 12th if it isn't already full.

  11. This dice roller looks pretty good.

    supposedly entering the same pass word allows multiple viewers to see the same dice being rolled. I haven't tested this, but try entering momo to see if it works.

  12. I have a d20 pro license that could be utilized, let me know if interested - then dice rolling and any other visual content can be uploaded even if you do not use the 3.0+ grid battlemappy stuff for anything.

    I would be a tentative for the 14th, but that may not be good enough for you.

  13. I read my zones wrong. it will be 4pm over here for the game on the 12th. I'll still be able to make it. glad I double checked on that.

  14. Pidgin has Skype support and the pidgin plugins that allow for "/dice" commands.

    How do I go about getting a "seat"? I can do the Jan 12 and Jan 14 slots.

  16. January 19: 6pm UK time.

    Sure, I'm on if there's still room. But how long would it last? 2h? 4h?

  17. It took about 4 hours when I ran this last time, but Skype might be a little slower.

    I'll have more details and get the rosters sorted tomorrow.
