That one is pretty classy, but it also costs $$ which makes things difficult.Quote:

I'm a big D&D geek and have been playing for years. I love the Eberron setting and have DMed it for the last few years. We have really enjoyed the changes 4th Edition brought to the table and have had lots of fun. Lately, we have been struggling to get sessions together, though. Something like what you guys are planning is intriguing. Let me know what days/times and if you have a spot for me.

Awesome, 4 is definitely enough to play with. Give some time to get familiar with MapTool and I'll set something up!
If you're interested in playing, go ahead and create a lv 1 character using the character builder, zip up the .dnd4e file and attach the zip to this thread. We'll use Vent to communicate while playing, so I request that everyone have a mic.
If you're completely new to the game, feel free to read up on the rules in the Player's Handbook but don't go crazy trying to learn everything; the best way to learn is to just play. As long as you know your character and what skills/powers he has, you are good to go!
Sweet! When do you want to do it? I should be free this Sunday. I will be out of town on Friday and Saturday.
Sunday is the 4th of July so I'll be BBQin' that day. Monday I have the whole day off so I'm free til about 1am that night.
Oh, and everyone download MapTool and confirm that it works.
Does any one know what kind of person they want to role? I'm considering a Dragon Born Paladin, but I'm pretty much open to anything.
I might have to work on Monday morning...but hopefully not for too long.
Also, who do we have lined up?
EDIT: Maptool runs on my computer.
EDIT2: I'm also working mostly through this holiday weekend. I should be free later Monday.
Oh crap, I forgot all about the fourth lol. I've got plans that night too...Quote:

If I launch it from their website it works but it won't launch when downloaded...
I have a copy of fantasy grounds 2 Ultimate, but I have no idea how to use it
I should be able to make Monday work. I could use a better idea of times, though. I will play around with character concepts (and leave the Defender role to taggart).
Also, my Steam name is wdf.SeattleMan and that should be the best way to reach if needed. I can help out with any rules questions for 4e, but know nothing of MapTool or similar programs.
Holy crap...I can't stop thinking of new combos for this game. Been paying around with a Warforged Waden with a focus in Stormheart. Changeling Bard looks cool to, as does a bullywug Assassin.
GAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
I 'm so psyched!
I'm going to be a Nightelf Mohawk.
How do I create the character? I downloaded chartool, but I have no clue what I'm doing.
RUn it and go through each tab. You select class and race, followed by attribute allocation, feast and skills.
I highly suggest reading the players manual first and learning the basics. Once you know that, the builder should be pretty straight forward.
EDIT: Also make sure you grabbed character builder. FYI, the demo version looks a little old. I'm running a newer version which seems to have a few more choices. Nothing huge but FYI. It's still great for starting users. The only thing not included are some new PHB3 info and some other things more for advanced users/levels.
