The System

Hey Guys

So I figure I'll GM the first run so I can iron out the tech side of things. There is going to be a dice roller plugin which we will use for the game and a twitter plugin that shows the last 30 tweets from a list I'm going to make. Done - @dm_nmngg/nmngg . Works out better if everyone hashtags #nmngg somewhere in theyre message.

Everyone will need to make a twitter account. Mine is saltpy. You can comment on things using Open ID, eg your Facebook or Google etc, or you can make an email etc, be consistent please.

Character sheets will be hosted on Google Docs. Text message me the email you want invited to the Google Docs and I'll make a sheet that only you and I can see for your character.

The blog will be used to post room descriptions etc and long out of rounds stuff. Once I say roll initiative we will switch to twitter. You will be able to do only what you can describe in 140 characters. Dice will be rolled in the roller once its on the site with a link back to the tweet its from or a descriptive link if its arisen from the blog. Can't really do persistence without a database and can't do one of those on blogspot so if we use it I'll get cheap hosting etc until then we will go on trust, feel free to use the roller tho.


Characters

We're going to go all open source and use only things available in the Dungeons and Dragons SRD initially so people can look things up without needing the books handy.

Characters start at level 1. 4d6 drop lowest six times minimum modifier is +3 for a set to be legal. Usual 1 set reroll allowed. Standard starting wealth.

Plot

Your going to be in the standard setting in terms of Gods etc. Your located in a region called Innusberg. I'll make a post about Innusberg. Done. If you want to be from somewhere else reply to this describing it and I'll edit it if required and post it as another region. I'll send you a twitter message with a link in to the plot. Your characters will not know each other.

Action Points

1. Follow saltpy on twitter and message me your real name. The twitter could be yours or an in character twitter up to you.
2. Text me the email address you want to access the google docs with.
3. Read Innusberg.
4. Make your character in the google docs and let me know your ready.

Feel free to text me if you need any tech help. I'm gonna go get the site and stuff sorted.

Thanks

  1. OK dice roller is up. If the idea takes off I'll get hosting and hook up persistence for the dice rolls along with logins for players. For now use the roller and put the result in [] inside your tweet or reply.

    Out of character stuff will be in [] as is the convention.

  2. Twitter is also up. Using the list @saltpy/nmngg which will follow you all meaning that tweets between people on the list will show up in the feed I think...put your twitter as a comment on this. Next up Innusberg descriptive.

  3. Changed the twitter to @dm_nmngg/nmngg so that I can include myself on the list and we can pass the dm stick around later on.
