Playtest One-Shot

[Wonder Waffles!!!]

So, here's the article that links to the playtest packet:

Give it a looksee.

Also: whip up a character.

There's no reliable framework for 5e, BUT you can fill in the PDF character sheet that comes with the packet. When you're done, get it my way somehow (email: ukulelenogood-at-gmail-dot-com, or link me to a place I can download it). Since we have 4 players, it'd be nice to have one of each class, but background, specialty, race, subrace, whatever is up to you.

Here's the link to the dice roller:invisiblecastle.com/roller/

You can roll for ability scores once, and, if you don't like the result, you can take the playtest packet's "default array" (15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8).

RAGH!

Meh, I'll take the dwarf fighter from the pregens. Looks fun, easy and right up my alley.

Note, I haven't actually read the whole playtest packet, nor have I playtested before. So, I may be a bit slow.

One interesting thing for me will be playing without a framework. That'll be new for a change.

FYI, the playtest has been updated to include Sorcerer (dragon-like) and Warlock (fey-like) classes, so if those are up your alley, whip up one of those. Don't read the adventure, I'll probably adapt it for my own purposes (mwee hee hee)

As long as everyone plays something different, I'm a happy camper.

I didn't have long to prepare (and I won't be doing much prep this weekend since I'll be going away), so a lot of the mapping and such might be a bit seat-of-the-pants/not very pretty. But with a few google searches/random map generators, I should be fine!

Server will be called WW5e, keep yer passwords and suchlike the same (mass3). I've given it a quick test here, so it should work smoove.

Sorry, work has been killing me lately, so I didn't even get a chance to look at the forums until today. If no one has already called it, I'll take a cleric pre-gen (if they have one). If I have time after work before the game actually starts I'll make my own cleric.

[Wonder Waffles!!!]

Yep, it's available. In fact, we might have a bit of "generate your character time" at the start -- you and Hussar are the only two to get back.

NBD either way.

Server should be up and at 'em. The first page has kind of a long load time, but lemme know if folks have trouble connecting.

[Hussar]

Whoops, getting a connection timed out error when I try to connect. Anyone else getting in?

[Merkuri]

I get the same problem. WW, I think you need to open the port in your router or firewall.

Okay, lemme try some stuff. Tinychat should be up and running

ARGH PORT FORWARDING ON A ROUTER I DON'T KNOW STAB

Yah, this ain't gonna work from over here, I don't have the login info for this router. Can I send it to someone who promises not to look at all the secret bits?

[Merkuri]

Three of us are in tinychat, but we don't see you there anymore. You were there around the time I arrived.
