Well, there goes my entire day. I just spent five hours making a not-so-good looking campaign map in Photoshop from an old map I had on grid paper and I've now found Campaign Cartographer and realized I can make a better looking map in less than half the time with it. I'm going to be using that from now own. Feels bad, very bad.
On that note, if anyone else is interested in sending me some maps to replenish my lost productivity that would be might swell of you. I'd really like to get our group's game going this Saturday and not have it be sucky.

How would one play online d&d? I've always been interested in this game but I'd really prefer to play it online.
-
You can use a virtual tabletop, like maptools, for maps, movement, and general visual aidery.
You can use IRC, and do the whole thing via text.
I prefer maptools, its simple yet functional.
-
I thought it looked strangely like a map from Dwarf Fortress.
-
You could also use something like Skype, Ventrillo and such, or use the ancient method of play-by-post and play it over a forum, and i have even heard of some people stuck in the dark ages playing it over steam-chat.
The possibilities are endless!
-
Indeed they are, which is why i stated the 2 i have heard of most.
-
And which is why i stated a few others that a slightly less known but still just as valid.

How does gimp work for you?
Also your new avatar is creepy and lame compared to your old guy.

Blargle. Sorry I'm late. I got my eyes dilated and couldn't see anything for awhile. I'm in the chat.
-
Who wants to play ANYTHING, RIGHT NOW?
please
Edited:
I'm so lonely
-
Going to hang out here for a while.
Edited:
I guess I would probably be limited to online D&D. I should probably read the rules and such before even trying to find a Skype group.
Edited:
So... are miniatures and map grids absolutely necessary or what?

Well, after a long day's work I was able to almost complete the base of my entire campaign's realm map. However, due to time constraint on the game being tomorrow, I resolved to completing a map for (to a sufficient level) approximately one-sixth of the playable realm which should suffice for at least a few hours and even more with a good imagination. The first link is the first image I made in Photoshop to base my full image off of and the completed portion in the second image is the top-right island which I remade in Campaign Cartographer 3 (an amazing program for making roleplaying maps).
The first map really does look as bad as you think it does but at least the awesomeness of CC3 made up for it, I have a lot of work ahead of me.

Played some pocket RPG with a few Steam friends. None of us have any experience in this type of stuff, so it was fun and insightful. It involved my friend's character getting a double dose of drugged booze because my other friend's character didn't want to drink the one he got for himself.
-
Been reading the D&D 4e Player's Handbook all night and not even 17% through it yet.
-
anyone want to play some dnd? it could be pocket rpg or w/e, idk.
-
I can't find an Enhancements list for the Warforged on version 3.5, can anyone help?
-
-
Are they reccommended?
-
They're nice to have as an extra, but that's about it.
-
My game's starting in half and hour.
-
Which is to say: "We only have 2 players right now and might be willing to take on another if you are interested."
It's pocket edition so you can have a character made in about a minute.
-
Because 1 guy had to go to work, 2 guys are away.
If you want to play, contact me FAST.
-
Umm... how would one play? Still all new to this...
-
Just give us your steam name and join our chat, then we will make you a character and begin.
-
add me now.
-
I don't get to make my own? Do I need my own dice?
-
No dice needed for character creation, just two stats, body and mind. Body covers physical skills while mind covers mental ones. It's all very simple and best done in chat.

JUST ADD ME ON STEAM NOW
WE'LL HELP YOU MAKE A CHAR

Darth GW7: Morn, seeing the Destrachan vulnerable, seizes his chance. In the blink of an eye he's on top of its head. A slash of his rapier seems to cut through light itself, and leaves a large gash in the top of its neck. Suddenly, he disappears. Blood spills from the creature's mouth. The head tilts, then falls. Morn climbs out of the large hole where its throat used to be, barely a speck of blood on his clothing.
COUP DE GRACE MOTHERFUCKERS
-
Welp, I forgot about the game and nobody messaged to me about it in steam.
-
Great first game guys, looking forward to the rest!
love it when your 44 year old character jumps form a 2nd story window and lands with no ill affects FUCK YEAH
-
Twas fun indeed.
I'll try to add more Sci-Fi and more room for derailling.
-
And more magic missilies and 6-breasted alien hookers with hearts of gold?
-
More alien whores with 6 tits indeed.
-
Here is the *edited* session log. Notable highlights include: alien prostitution, acrobatic engineers, habeus corpus, incest, grand theft auto, levitation, and bad one-liners.

I love being an assassin - Already I can almost inflict death by massive damage. Granted, it was a crit, but still.
Also this session had a REALLY awkward ending.
