[Katsuun]

Wait, your using 4e?!?! Damn it!

[Solifuge]

Katsuun, so far the only campaigns that have been organized are in 4e. If you are worried about being new to 4e, I'd be happy to give you a quick run-through. Also, if anyone wants to start a 3.5 D&D campaign, or any other kind of tabletop, they're more than welcome to.

The interactive character sheet is an excellent tool for running a campaign: It provides just enough structure and interfacing to make 4e convenient in Map Tool, without making it too automated and videogamey.

Also, after you've got your character sheet put into a token, you can save and export the token, and import it into other campaigns using the same interface. Very handy.

[FoboslC]

You kjnow, in fact, its hard as hell to configure. For me at least :/

[Katsuun]

Nah, I'm just saying, I'm used to 3.5 E.

[Solifuge]

One you learn it, Fobos, it takes about the same time commitment as hand-writing down power cards and character sheets. When my campaign gets underway, I'd be more than happy to set up tokens and Digital Character Sheets for players, and run a tutorial session to get MapTool/4e newbies used to the capabilities ans use of the interface.

[Sowelu]

I look forwards to seeing how this turns out, even though I have no time to play myself.

[Cerej]

Can we do it Sat at like 11. Fridays not a good day for me, as its one of the only days I get to sleep in.

Unfortunately, no.  If you want to know my reason it's inside the spoiler, otherwise you can skip it.

The session lasted 6 hours, which were all enjoyable for me.  The session prep work (characters, maps, and encounters) took over 20 hours, but the prep work was enjoyable on its own.  Getting everyone's schedules, comparing them, and finding the best time took 10 hours.  The scheduling work was a headache.  If I can run another session at the same time, that's great.  If I can't, it doesn't matter to me.  But running through the hassle of scheduling a better time is not worth it to me.

If you played last Friday and you can make it this Friday, please tell me.  Otherwise I'm going to assume you can't make it.

The DF-Themed 4e Campaign I've been working on, The Isle of Earthfire, is coming along nicely. If the pace continues as it has, it should be ready to go in a few weeks. 6 Seats will be available in total, and I'm starting to take Player Applications for it now.

Heroic:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

After witnessing a bunch of bandits coming into his village, Aven took cover behind some barrels. The bandits held most of the village hostage as they went to pillage the village. Aven silently snuck around behind them until one of them became separated. Aven quickly dashed towards him and jabbed his short sword into the filthy bandits chest. The bandit let loose a roaring yell before falling dead. Aven was spotted.

Aven sheathed his sword and ran. Aven managed to climb on to the rooftops where the bandits couldn't get him. One of the bandits had a bow. Aven skilfully dodged the arrows until he could finally get in position to jump down onto the bandits. Jump down he did. As he jumped, he slashed a bandit in the head vertically right down to his chest. Quickly turning around and stabbing another bandit. The remaining 3 bandits fleed to never be seen again.

The village blacksmith crafted Aven a new short sword and the leatherworker gave Aven his suit of leather armor. Once Aven grew up, he had to leave the village. Worried that such a situation would happen again, he trained a bunch of kids the same way he trained as a kid. Hoping that they would grow up to be as good as he is. Or more. The town guard was proficient with swordsmanship already, but was unable to react during the raid.

Aven's left the village because he no longer wished to stay. Aven felt there is far too much injustice in the world. Aven felt he had the power to stop at least some of it. But he would need help. He started looking for adventurers that could help him.

Alignment: Neutral Good.

Note: I don't think I can do two campaigns at the same time. Perhaps it could be done like this:

Cerej, Soli, Cerej, Soli.

One week fro Cerej, one week for Soli. That simple.

I hate to burst your bubble, but Cerej only plans to do one more session in his 'campaign' so to say. If I see enough of a continued interest, I'll speak to him and see if he's amenable to the idea of me taking over as the DM for those particular sessions. If not, well - let's just remember it was fun while it lasted.

[Yanlin]

I'm cool with doing one more session. As long as I don't have to pick one over the other. I was in Cerej's game for learning how to use map tool anyway. But I'll still need help with the character sheet. If somebody could manage it for me, that would be great.
