I'm just going through the access lists hope to get it sorted.

Hopefully you should be able to get to the game through the Control Panel
You should now be able to see a welcome doc (not my greatest) and get access to your characters. To add you character details, use the Edit Document button. Also on left hand panel, you should get direct access to your character document, for accepted characters. You only have access to your character, you can change it if you want.
More stuff will appear soon...hopefully

My fault for going to run 2 game tables for this.


Nope, still no access.

EDIT: Okay, I'm in at this point.

They should arrive in the control panel


Deevor,

I hit reply to the "Welcome to the Haunted Forest" thread, but it just reloads the page. Just want you to know that I am around.

To the others in my group, I will be going to a wedding FRI - SUN. I will try to stat up Herc before I leave, but will not be able to start till MON. Hope that's ok.

Howdy. I've never done a PBP before but I'd like to try it out. Is there room for one more?

I was thinking something human and rogueish.

That could be accommodated...put a story that might fit together and I will consider it.

I have to accept your character before you can reply by post.

It goes something like....

1. You send me a note which gives me your id
2. I invite you to the game
3. You accept the invite and give me the character.
4. I accept your character, which means you are then in the game. I must also set you up in one of the gaming groups, so you can access your gaming group resources. You cannot do anything, other than view files, until I have accepted your character.
5. We get the ball rolling and we move to complete the character generation, which means I will have a look at the character to make sure I am happy too. During this time, use the All Together thread if you want.


I don't think I'll have time for this, so I'm out.

That's a shame, was looking forward to the witch...

I'm liking Osirion by the way...


A few questions on character creation:

- HP: full HD at 1st lvl? 1/2 HD + 1 at all subsequent lvl?
- I see people rolling starting gold. We're rolling and not doing avg, am I correct?

Yes to the gold...you can use the secure dice roller and post it to the character thread, if you want...we will probably use the secure roller for the HD as well, but 1st level is is full HD. If people have a strong feeling that we should use 1/2 HD + 1 at all subsequent lvls after 1st, then we can use that. Remember you get either 1HP or 1 skill point for your favoured class. Please tell me which you are taking.


I am doing Skill rank.. :/ we lost our healer!

Someone needs to tell them to remove that silly 1989 HTML-In-A-Box grey textured background and just go pure white, or something.


Its very cumbersome and slow. I am trying to figure out how I can upload my character :/ I changed its name and now it wont let me in.


It is a little clunky, but my biggest quirk is that it logs me out pretty frequently. Save just as frequently!


To edit my character, I click edit document and then what.. post in the big white "Post Reply" box? do I mess around with the drop down boxes located around the edit document button? One is view template and edit template.

Edit document, type in box, then save document.

I've changed the short cut to the characters on the sidebar, so you have direct access again. You look like you've updated the character, so 'so far so good'.

The Oracle can heal a bit....

...there are potions

And maybe a healer someone will want to play a healer.

So we can still use a character with healing for group 1.


Hmm. Not to be rude, but I think I'll bow out of the game.

I'm having a hard time squinting at roleplaymarket, and it seems tragically slow, when I click on something I'm not sure I have the patience to wait for their pages to load.


We are fast becoming 1 play group. I am all set with my character,


I've been going back and forth on this, but I'm afraid I'm bowing out as well because of the other site.

I hate quitting anything and I hope I'm not offending. Paizo is part of my routine, and the other site is feeling like work. Best of luck.

Sovereign Court

Thanks to Sledge and Gaven for putting the effort in to create the characters, sorry to see you go. I was looking forward to both of them. So we are a skill monkey down, if Guero returns them there's a place for him.


Im excited, I want to play


Well if I'm not mistaken we are now down to two groups of three.
Group 1:
Gram
Halak
Kyle

Group 2:
Alisa
Awve
Herc

In order to get the games rolling would anyone object to me creating a second character for group 1? If we end up recruiting anyone new I'll bow out of one of the groups. Then if someone from group 1 wanted to create a character for group 2 we'd be all set.

If this is ok with everyone I was thinking of trying out the Inquisitor class.

Sovereign Court

I'm happy if we go to one grou, if everyone else is, perhaps Awve can change from being an evoker to another wizard school? As per post in game All Together thread

Yes, I rather like your Inquisitor


Looking at the current makeup, it appears you still have some spots. Do you need a fighter or cavalier?

Yes we have a space for a fighter or cavalier, but we are playing at roleplaymarket.com, so if you get over there we are making a second party. Got a cleric and bard so far.

Sovereign Court

Game 1 is getting close to starting, I have the starting text written just need to sort a few things out with the stories, so see the game threads on roleplaymarket to get the thing going.

Is there a new security upgrade on Roleplay Market? I went there from my bookmark and a pop up asks me for my username + password. After failing to log in several times, I can only assume that I was using the wrong password. If not...? Anyone else having this problem?


Wilhem,
I think the site was having issues. I couldn't get on last night but did not get an username or password screen. I was just on it now and it seems to be working.
Thanks,
Evan

Still won't let me on.

Sovereign Court

Looks like its still down...

....I'll restart the game Monday, site permitting


Good lord. The site has been down since Tuesday now. It was up briefly for an hour or so yesterday evening, but this is getting ridiculous. Deevor, is there any way we can move the game to a more reliable site? Have you been able to contact the roleplaymarket folks to find out what the hell is going on?

Sovereign Court

Nope I haven't been abloe to do that ...

This is the first time its been like this since I've been using it.

Sovereign Court

This is what I was told by one of the site guys...

Due to a usage violation with the hosting company that serves the website RPM has been down since this morning. I'm arguing with them about the issue - but it could be days before it's resolved. In the mean time I have updated the DNS to route web traffic to the new RPM server - so you should be able to access the site... again as soon as the DNS propagates (up to 48 hours, but usually less).

...hoping its back soon....if its still in trouble on Monday, I will consider moving the game 1 to this site. The new temp site is liable to be slower than normal too. So the game will try and resume on Monday, sorry.


Any idea when we are going to start game 2? I know that you were planning on moving forward on Tuesday before Roleplaymarket broke.

Sovereign Court

This is from RPM

6/4/2010 1:38:56 PM
Update: All stability issues should now be resolved. I was also able to fix the map tile issue - all maps should now work correctly. If you experience any further issues please report them!

So we are go again.

Game 2 has started, you will be on your way quite soon....

Hope to get you going by monday at the latest...depends how much I drink tomorrow night at the Southampton Beer Festival..

Is it just me, or is anyone else having a problem getting onto Roleplay Market?

I'll see what's happening on Facebook...shame cos I thought the game is going well...

Is the site still down?

Grand Lodge

I still can't get on.


yea, site is down since monday I believe. Dang, i was liking this game

The Exchange

Deevor, perhaps it's time to switch the setting to Paizo? I know you're a big fan of private messages and pictures and sound files, but the clunkiness of the site as well as its down time is quite disruptive to game flow.

We can do the role play here and you can host the maps at photobucket or a similiar site. Alternatively, you can do the maps in Excel. It's a lot less work than it seems and very maneuverable for players (ie. Herc will move to E10).

What do the rest of you all think?


I vote for Paizo as well. While the sound and stuff is neat I check a lot at work so I have to be careful about that stuff anyway.
As an alternative might I suggest Mythweavers? I know a couple of the people from this game auditioned for the Second Darkness game on that site. My character was one of the ones accepted and it seems like a great site with a lot of the features you're like with RPM.

Grand Lodge

Yeah, either of those sites would work for me.

Grand Lodge

I'm still having trouble with the site. Are we moving to another?
