The newest build of maptool and Hamachi, that's pretty much it.  Knowledge of the rules would be good too.

[Archangel]

Can I have links please?

Can I have links please?

Hamachi
Maptool

Yes, I'm a sarcastic bastard.

[Tack]

Now that's just not funny.

Maptool
Hamachi


Be more helpful!

[Criptfeind]

I like Hamachi because it sometimes allows me to play with others even if they can not connect to me.

I have played DnD games with only half the players connected to me and the others were connected though others.

Laggy but it works.

[Archangel]

Right, here's the link for MapTool. (ninja'd into superfluity)

I tried that link for Hamachi, but the resulting executable didn't really work, though maybe I just was too impatient. The other one I tried resulted in a msi file, which is not at all helpful. I'm using a Fedora Core 8 computer, though I'll probably have to switch to the computer next to me which has a much more recent version of FC. The likely necessity of using the other one is because I had problems with Java when I tried to get Gametable to run on this one.

If you can provide me with a zip file, I should have no problems. If not, I'll have to see what my father (A computer technician) says about getting either of the things I downloaded to work.

EDIT: Oh, and thanks for that Tack. Even though I didn't need it anymore, it'll still be helpful to anyone else who doesn't have Hamachi and/or MapTool.

Oh come on, it's a little funny. The 1st link on a google search takes you to the site to make an account for hamachi, the 2nd takes you to a site with a link to the download section right there on the page. It isn't all that hard to find things on the internet. Hell I didn't know what Deathwatch was until 20 seconds after I saw this thread. I googled it, read the page, sampled the rulebook and gave it a once-over to see if I liked it, then went out and picked up a copy at the bookstore.

Where do you guys get so much money?! Jobs, I know.
But seriously, GW stuff is over priced. The DeathWatch book is like $70 at Borders.

It's the beginning of the month and I didn't spend my books budget from last month. -shrug-

So I dropped the accumulated cash on that.

It's like $0 at the Internet.

[Aqizzar]

I forgot just how many different steps there are in Character Creation, and Deathwatch has them scattered all over the book.  What's the ruling on stat-points?  Are we just trusted to randomly generate them ourselves?  Can we swap one roll for another?  Or can we use the point-buy alternative Deathwatch finally introduced?

It's like $0 at the Internet.

_{PSSST, Cthulhu, you're not supposed to talk about that!  Next he's gonna ask "how do i pirate GW" and then bad things happen.}

[NewsMuffin]

how do i pirate GW

Yeah, I know, I got a PDF copy from an anonymous user on the internet.
Are we going to use a module in maptool? The Dark Heresy one would work rather well, I believe. It's pretty much the same system, only based around combat, and much, much harder to die. Seriously, it's possible to start with 23 wounds! Along with the benefits of power armor, I'd be surprised if one of us died. At all.
And the guns are super powered. Seriously, an Astartes Bolter does twice the damage than the Bolters that normal humans can use.

[Cthulhu]

Use Invisiblecastle to make the rolls, you can switch any two stats.

The Dark Heresy Module is laggy as hell, and half the stuff we won't even use.  I cannibalized the stuff I want (Mainly, the sexy flashlights) and made my own module with some basic macros for bolter damage and chainsword damage and the like.

how do i pirate GW

>_>

And now you know what Hamachi is for.

But really, don't do this on the forums even is jest.

[Cthulhu]

Yeah, I"d rather you guys not get the thread locked.  Anyway, game's starting in a few hours.
