Whew. It's been a little while. I have been working on this stuff, just not enough to merit continual posting. I will admit, I've been slacking off pretty bad with Moon Senshi, but I hung out with a lot of people this week and I didn't end up getting to it until this Sunday.

( Wall*E. Proof that even kids movies can get me pathetically morose. )

( Fubuki goin' off in unexpected directions... )

Also, Between Kingdoms features turtle people Chimera at the request of John. It does not, however, call them "Kupaw." Sorry John. :-)

Anyway, I have piping tomorrow. Learn' Hector the Hero. wish me luck!

So, right now, it's looking like Ventrilo is our most likely option. This isn't set in stone yet, but it is my prefferred option and multiple players have expressed a strong preference for this option.

If you CANNOT use Ventrilo, but would like VERY MUCH to be in the game, let me know NOW.

If you haven't heard, I'm starting up the Germany campaign again. If you're interested, please say something! There are still a few people who were in the old game that haven't said anything.

The Germany campaign is OPEN. That means that ANYONE can be in it, as long as I don't hate them and they can make games regularly.

So.

What is Ventrilo? Ventrilo, or Vent, is a VOIP service. That means that we all hook up to a server with headsets or other microphones, and the server transmits our voice into a conference-call like scenario where we can all hear each other. If you've ever played WoW or another MMORPG, you're probably familar with the concept of doing this in raiding. It's a lot like an AIM chat or discussion, only you're speaking instead of typing. If you're certain you're going to be in the game, I recconmend going ahead and downloading it. It has versions for every OS but Linux, and it works with Linux if you download WINE. (I tried this on my Ubuntu machine and it seemed to work nicely.)

Right now I need to start determining people's schedules. When can you make a game (or can't make a game, if that is an easier to communicate statistic)? If you live outside of EST, please tell me so I can adjust for your time zone in determining a schedule.

More info about the game will be forthcoming as I examine who can make it. I will probably build the game around the players who can come.

I will probably be using a stats system this time, probably FUDGE because it's lightweight and easy for me to use. If you don't want to deal with stats, you can give a write-up of your characters powers' and I can make them for you.

Right now all this info is very tentative, so there's still plenty of wiggle room for change.
