New Fantasy Grounds 2 / Skype game

[stefman123]

sounds good as for gening do you want the character sheet's housed within fg? ive been struggling a bit to get it to save changes but i have a sheet with a character.If you want it in fg i may need a little help come sunday before we start if thats ok i have him laid out just need to get him in the software.

[Isembard]

I think it'll be best with sheets in FG. If you know what sort of character you want to play it should be ok to roll once your logged into server, If i leave my FG2 server open you should be able to log in when you want and gen. I've spent a bit of time creating portraits so you'll have 40 to choose from when logged in.

I've opened server and will leave it on until sundays game. If players wish to log in a play about with character creation they can. Get as far in as you like as we can still chat about characters and tweak things on sunday.

I'm really keen for tomorrow! Now what is the host address? :P

[Isembard]

A note for character generation. I don't really want everyone putting all there skill points in the usual spot hidden / library use but as a party it would be useful if between you you cover the following: Archaeology, Architecture, Bargain, Fast Talk, Library Use, Lock Smith, Medicine, Occult, Persuade, Sneak, Spot Hidden and some sort of Fire Arm. This is based on me having a good idea of the first couple of campaigns I'd like to run.
Cheers Isembard

Rathmaza, I've PM'd you host address.

Hello my name is Noelle I'm ready for the new skype game but you didnt say whats the login info is so hit me up and whats your skype name?

[Isembard]

If anyones interested I've made quite a few portraits for CoC, about 30. Unfortunately I have just realised that players cannot use my portraits as they need to be on their computer. Any ways if anyone wants I can email them my portraits file before game time. Just PM me your email address.
Thanks

Are you guys still looking for players? I'm up for playing if you need another investigator.

[Isembard]

Dave1482. Game only strated last night and is running with 5 investigators. I'm pretty new to the FG2 software and don't feel comfortable yet running with any more than that. Thanks for the post, i'll be sure to let you know if anyone drops out.
Cheers

To the intrepid investigators. I've started a blog detailing our game over in the blog section. If nothing else it should serve as a good recap of the story if we go two weeks between sessions. Let me know what you think.
Cheers
Isembard

[Rathmaza]

I like the fact that you are doing the blog about our game, good for recap before the next session and the girlfriend approves because then she can see what I am all excited about. :P

Any luck with a vent server? because my friend that will be joining us next session normally has a vent server running.

[Isembard]

On the vent server my technical ineptitude has led me to leave it in the capable hands of Stefman123. I'm not sure where he's up to with it.

[Rathmaza]

Damn this is going to be the longest two weeks ever!

[Stormwind]

Greetings friends, I am the latest recruit Rathma has managed to persuade. I also have a server in France which is capable of running a teamspeak server for our needs. Please let me know if this is still necessary then I will be happy to oblige. I look forward to the next seasion. Over and out - stormwind

Wish I could join, but I partake in another game on Sundays.

I do currently run a FG/Skype CoC game myself and be willing to offer any advice on some tips with FG.

The Extend CoC extension was developed by another user on the forums and it does have a few bugs. There hasn't been an update far as I know, and the bug disabled the upper right buttons on my FG, so I would not recommend using it currently. There are a few other extensions available there that are nifty, a few new skins and the Arkham Census which lets you generate quick NPCs or names.

Look for the Dice Tower extension, I adapted that from another ruleset as the CoC doesn't have a dice tower built in like the 4E.
