Well spoke Mr. Donald I suppose he'll be thrilled to hear it... either way I'll just force him back into Celestia then and that'll be that... Well thanx again for responding I was unsure of which messageboard to put this on for someone to respond...


Hey guys and gals gotta question... recently I'm running an epic level game and thus my players have "interesting" races. Unfortunately the game involves aging the characters into the hundreds of years and was wondering if anyone has an opionion on the lifespan of a houd archon... I currently have agreed to 500 years, but the player was a little disturbed by it and I offered to check it out online so, If anyone has any ideas or can suggest a book in which to look I know we'd be greatful!!


I wanted to update what I said previous... I have so far tried OpenRPG and ScreenMonkey and I find ScreenMonkey to be more than acceptable for 5 years ago.. which is what I always kind of pictured online DnD to be. However I was spoiled by the functions of OpenRpg but do not recommend it unless you are a skillful programmer. I spent little time on it and was convinced that unlike ScreenMonkey the figures had to be map made by the GM and then loaded where ScreenMonkey moving could be manual by GM or PC. If this is not the case and someone could explain how to first create a map for OpenRpg and second how to get icons moving around on it then I would gladly try and return to it... and if the two were put togeter with voice and many of the other features "ghostorb" supposedly offers than I don't really think the amount of members matters the only thing that does is if your friends have computers. No more upsetting the wife with a living room full of friends.. So please any evidence of GhostOrb would be awesome!!!


Personally I'm not concerned with the amount of people already enrolled into this new game "system". Personally, I say the fewer from the start the better. I hate to sound selfish but we all know what Role Playing turned into when it touched the internet... and that's the first thing I'd blame when you examine the low count of memebers. However, the only time I've ever seen anything giving GhostOrb a good name seems to be an advertiser of some sort the only problem is they admit they have nothing to advertise but forums. No prototype, no beta version, no nothing. Now seriously whose going to jump on a band wagon of message boards for $30 a month??

There is the fact that you can play Pro Games without signing up at all and there was that incredible 200 applicants for Pro GM's, but surprisingly there are no linked sights of these GM's making their own personal sights of games to come... I haven't found any information what so ever that this is even something more than some kids saying send me $1 for happiness. That may not make sense the way I worded it but hopefully you readers understand.

Now understand this information is only to the best of my knowledge and I must admit I am excited by the idea beyond belief. I have not yet sampled the other games but am afraid of losing interest in the whole idea of internet gaming. I guess what i"m saying is if anyone has evidence of this system in any way to please post it. I don't want to hear how great it is and see more quotes of features from the website...
