*Sigh* - need to cancel at the last minute. Sorry; helping out around the house.

Excuse me while I pound my head against the keyboard.

No, I'm not blaming you. Just circumstance.

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.(Edit
 
Well, that didn't take as long as I feared. Kinda fun filling in for a block and tackle.

Jack Simth May 28th, 2005 03:23 PM

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.(Edit
 
But Narf didn't stick around. Perfectly understandable. Oh well, server closed.

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.(Edit
 
Uh...According to OpenRPG, I'm in the lobby.

Or not. Just did a refresh.

But you should have seen me in there. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif

Jack Simth May 28th, 2005 04:07 PM

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.(Edit
 
I did, briefly, and asked if you were still there; I got no response, and a few minutes later OpenRPG registered that you had left. How non-static is your IP address? Or would you even know little details like the IP lease duration?

narf poit chez BOOM May 28th, 2005 04:11 PM

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.(Edit
 
No idea - I did check in periodically and didn't see anything.

Jack Simth May 29th, 2005 10:11 PM

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.(Edit
 
Well, if you want to look it up (assuming a windows config) you can open up the command prompt (Start/Run/Command.com) and type in IpConfig /all; this will list your entire IP settings for your local machine, including the the "Lease Expires" and "Lease Obtained" times (if you go through a NAT router, then you are leasing an IP from the router, which makes them up and translates from the IP your ISP leases to you - to get the lease info on your ISP in that instance, you need to get the router's info - the method for which varies by router)

narf poit chez BOOM May 30th, 2005 04:25 AM

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.(Edit
 
Thanks. The lease had been obtained about 11 hours previously, so that shouldn't have been a problem.

It is possible I just missed whatever you typed; as my dad says 'If it was a snake, it woulda bit you'. I'm not the most observant person in the world. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.(Edit
 
That's fine.

Server is up and running.

My brother has to do homework on it right now, too. Sorry.

Ah well. I'll tell Jade you won't be showing at all today (potential new blood).

Jack Simth June 4th, 2005 05:34 PM

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.(Edit
 
Well, server closed.

Well, I'm sorry to Jade, then, too.

Had to help someone pick up the last of her stuff and move it.

Jack - Check your PM's.

Randallw June 9th, 2005 04:43 AM

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.(Edit
 
Any character openings? I sort of miss playing since the other group broke up.

Jack Simth June 9th, 2005 09:56 AM

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.(Edit
 
I'm thinking yes. You'd want to ask Narf, of course, but he will likely welcome you with open arms.

Also, whenever Narf doesn't feel like DMing, I sometimes run another campaign (different characters, currently at level 12), so you may want to roll up two characters, rather than one.

narf poit chez BOOM June 9th, 2005 02:24 PM

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.(Edit
 
A volenteer? Woohoo!

/me starts hustling Randallw to the signup station before he changes his mind. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Randallw June 10th, 2005 01:05 AM

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.(Edit
 
Well most importantly what time do you play. The other group stopped because I couldn't wake up for the new time. I assume you use OpenRPG.

narf poit chez BOOM June 10th, 2005 01:42 AM

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.(Edit
 
11:00 to 1:00 PST.

Generally we take a little longer than that, if there's still stuff to do and nobody has to go anywhere.

OpenRPG, server Looney, password cheese. Jack sets up the server, since I couldn't figure that out.

I was about to explain the current plot, but my mind went blank.

Randallw June 10th, 2005 01:55 AM

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.(Edit
 
I think that's 5pm for me so it looks like it would work out.

EDit:that doesn't seem right. I suspect it's more like 5am. I'm at +10 and PST is -8 so it's +18. 11am + 18 hrs =5am, so It doesn't look like I can play http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Jack Simth June 10th, 2005 02:10 AM

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.(Edit
 
I've no particular aversion to renegotiating the timeframe. Let's see... if we were to push it back three hours (2 PM PST), that would put it at 8 am for Randallw; if the figures above are accurate. Likewise, 4 would grant 3 PM and 9 AM, 5: 4 PM and 10 AM.

By the way, I'm posting this at about 10:15 pm PST, if that helps any with coversions.

narf poit chez BOOM June 10th, 2005 02:50 AM

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.(Edit
 
Neither do I. I'm at -8 GMT and have pretty much the whole day free.

Jack Simth June 10th, 2005 03:30 AM

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.(Edit
 
Mm. Also, daylight savings time at the moment (at least where I'm hiding), so it's GMT - 7 for the next few months.

Randallw June 10th, 2005 05:04 AM

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.(Edit
 
Not that I mean to be selfish but the later the better as I have trouble getting up relatively early. I think I could try for 9am. What day is it anyway http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif

Jack Simth June 10th, 2005 09:43 AM

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.(Edit
 
Tomorrow (Saturday, here), approximately ... 30 hours, 15 minutes from the time of this post, for the regularly scheduled version, if my math hasn't broken down.

And that doesn't sound selfish - few people like getting up early on their days off.

Randallw June 10th, 2005 11:06 AM

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.(Edit
 
post to determine forum time.

Edit: it's 12am here so +29= 5am, same as before. Add 4 hours and I could get up sunday morning (hopefully)

Jack Simth June 10th, 2005 08:05 PM

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.(Edit
 
So that would be 3 pm Saturday, my time. Works for me; Narf?

Jack Simth June 10th, 2005 11:22 PM

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.(Edit
 
Hopefully "see" you both tomorrow.

Randallw June 11th, 2005 12:02 AM

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.(Edit
 
before I get started on my 2 characters, what way do I determine stats. Roll for them or use a number of points?.

narf poit chez BOOM June 11th, 2005 12:41 AM

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.(Edit
 
Either. Two characters?

Jack Simth June 11th, 2005 12:44 AM

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.(Edit
 
4d6 drop lowest is what we've been using.

Jack Simth June 11th, 2005 12:52 AM

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.(Edit
 
One for the CL 3 (almost 4) you've been running, one for the ECL 12 I've been running.

Randallw June 11th, 2005 01:36 AM

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.(Edit
 
I shall be making a ranger and a Cleric. I plan for the cleric to worship a god of war, is that ok?. I need to know what domains I can take.

Jack Simth June 11th, 2005 01:55 AM

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.(Edit
 
For mine, anything in the SRD is fine. I don't have the 3.5 books, just some older 3.0 ones, so the SRD is what I'm mostly referencing.

As for XP and wealth....

My game: 72,975 xp, 81,091.5 gp

In Narf's game, my character currently has 5725 xp and 1963.15 gp (in money, goods, and equipment).

narf poit chez BOOM June 11th, 2005 03:19 AM

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.(Edit
 
Oh. Brain tired. Been doing stuff all day.

As to religeon: Your character can have whatever religeon they want. However, in-game, I will neither confirm nor deny beleifs. You can come up with a church, however, complete with building types and church people and I will gladly stea...I mean, borrow it for the game.

As to characters morals, I don't want any evil characters.

For domains (Or anything else), anything I have the book for. I've got the 3.5 PHB, DMG, MM 1&2, Complete Warrior, Arcane and Adventurer and a few Dungeon magazines in the 320 - 330 area. If you find it online and it's official, it's also fine.

Racial alignment is right out.

----BIT OF A SPOILER----

Jack's druid is currently on a quest to help someone who's being 'pecked' to death by 'vultures'. Note the qoutes. Along to help are a universities best combat student and an expert in pools and sinkholes - Pools and sinkholes of emotion, that is. A little something I stuck in there.

There. Didn't want to spoil the whole plot.

Randallw June 11th, 2005 08:54 AM

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.(Edit
 
Well I'm off to bed so I can wake up in time for tomorrow. If, as happened with the other group, I don't wake up (in time http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif) I apologise.

Jack Simth June 11th, 2005 03:58 PM

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.(Edit
 
Hmm.... my schedualed tasks started the server at 10:30 - forgot to update the time. No matter; I added a note for anyone who shows up early as to the new time - may as well leave it running.

Jack Simth June 11th, 2005 06:38 PM

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.(Edit
 
Well, about another 20 minutes untill schedualed startup.

Edit: 10 minutes

Edit2: 5 minutes, and still nobody else has show up just yet....

Edit3: 5 minutes past, and Narf and I are the only ones who have shown up so far. Hmm...

Randallw June 11th, 2005 07:22 PM

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.(Edit
 
YOu mean I've missed it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif, but I've woken up by 8am. Did you change the time to the one I wanted?

Jack Simth June 11th, 2005 07:41 PM

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.(Edit
 
Apparently a DST issue. Grr. Oh well, you are there now.

Jack Simth June 11th, 2005 10:02 PM
