Decided to run 3.5 since I have all the books and it has more content and shit. We can change to 4e if enough people want, but I figure most of you don't care enough.

In general terms 3.5e = more content

4e = better combat

Honestly I think you guys would enjoy 4e more as players, so if you want me to switch to it I'm okay with that. Really my problems with 3.5's combat begin and end with melee classes. 3.5e Warriors and Barbarians kind of get the short stick as they're pretty much just hitting things with other things. 4e introduced skills very similar to a Wizard's spells for melee classes, and in general abilities are a lot easier to manage and it has a lot more of an FF Tactics vibe. It has its down sides, but overall I think it is a better system, especially for new players.

Just tell me soon so I can start porting things over. It won't be too difficult but I'd like to know which edition we are doing before I starting building anything in depth.

Also if you can't make time to play at least every other Friday or Saturday don't sign up, if you don't show up I will kill your character and replace him with a homonculous and I will not feel bad.

As far as characters go you can build pretty much whatever you want. I would say it is generic setting but that isn't entirely true as I'm pretty much just using the books to build my own lore. If you want to be a certain race just make the sheet and I will try to fit it in, if you can't find a applicable entry in it in the monster manual try to find at least a close approximation preferably with PC stats.

For instance a Mimic PC could concievably build off of an Animated Object or maybe even a Warforged with some changes.

So yeah, character sheets activate. Looking for at least 4 players, max 6. Might be able to do it with one more or less but we'll see how it goes.

I wasn't able to get Pokemon together for this week, but Megas was able to make it to the part and I threw in an extra surprise to make up for the lack of Pokemans (Read: Eat up the time slot).

Now that TF2 is free to play it is very possible that we are going to see a major influx of new players in the coming weeks. That being the case, I think it is likely that keeping a full server will become much easier soon, which may be warrant enough for me to take another crack at hosting a Digibutter TF2 server.

This woudl be a server that is customized to what you guys what, that means I need suggestions for maps, mods, and player limit. Player limit is going to be most important because if you guys want some kind of crazy 32 man server I'm not going to be able to pay for it myself.

Of course, all veteran Digi member would get priority access along with any donators we happen to pick up if the server would go down that route, though ideally I'd like to just pay for it myself and keep it at that.

So yeah, discuss.

Let's all be Batman together.

Download game, wait 7 days for install, pick hero , pick Batman, friend Popple.

Okay go.

So I'm actively working on three different game projects righht now. One is going to be in flash, one in source, and the last one I'd like to do in source but I'd probably need to go find some dudes to help with it.

But that isn't the point, I'm making this topic to pitch an idea because you *crag*ers play games so you should know enough to know whether or not this appeals to you.

Basically it is a first person adventure game that takes place on a cruise ship. Your character starts off in the hull in conversation with another man, most probably the both work on the ship as engineers i'm still ironing out the basic plot, when the ship is breached and water starts flooding in.

That's boring though *crag* that, here is the interesting part.

It is at this point that everything freezes in place, as if life just pauses. But you can still move around. You can then set off to explore the ship and basically what you see in nearly every room are people who are about to be completely destroyed by torrents of water as the ship has begun to sink. You see these living corpses frozen in time, completely oblivious as to what is about to happen to them as soon as this mysterious hold over reality breaks.

The player is free to do as they please at this point. They can try to rescue these people from the fate, you can find a means of escape, you can try to determine what is causing these events, or all of the above.

Eventually what you discover is that your character has the ability to manipulte time is small pockets. The best example of how this would work is that the player would be able to touch someone's face to speak tot hem, but he wouldn't be able to move their entire body, or if he did it would disrupt the area so much as to cause whatever catastrophy is about to befall them to occur anyway.

It's still something I'm hammering out the mechanics on, I'll probably try to get a script written up before I'd actually try to do anything serious with it. I was mostly just completely in love with the idea of seeing people frozen right before their deaths, or how startling it would be to see a moving body after being isolated in completely stillness for so long.

If it doesn't sound great that's fine, the image in my head seemed so great at the time that I'm more than a little biased. I have a dozen other ideas that I could flesh out if this falls though, this is just the one that I'd like to do more with the most right now.

I need two other mother *crag*ers to try and take down all the demon's souls with, all you need to do is take down the first boss to get your coop stones and then post your PSN ID here.

I'd like to try a run at Tower Knight and maybe some other levels tonight, but whatever we'll figure it out.
