Dice Roller

This extension helps in using Vanilla for Play-by-Post games. It enables the use of a new dice function in the comment text, like #DiceRoller(3d6+2d8-1). It appends a random roll of the specified dice into the text and disables further edition of the comment. Note: #DiceRoller(1d0) rolls between 0-9, and #DiceRoller(1d10) between 1-10. It also handles Fudge dice #DiceRoller(4df).

How to make this work

1) Post at least once a day, preferably twice, on weekdays. Weekends are optional.

2) Let everyone know if you aren't going to be able to post for awhile. We all have stuff that comes up.

3) Post out-of-character in italics.

4) Have fun!

This Weekend

I'm not sure how this weekend is going to go as far as posting. I'll try to post a couple of times, but I need to buckle down and work on a playtest doc for "The Flowers of Evil," and perhaps do some character portraits for the EpicTable My Life with Master demo.

Here. It's interesting to note the differences between the way we are doing it and the way they do it.

Alright. I'm up for running a dark fantasy. I've been itching to do that one for a long time.

Let's discuss the setting, and then we'll discuss system.

I'm really interested in a setting a based on early Britain and Ireland. Celts, druids, vikings, et cetera. I want supernatural elements. Double, double, toil and trouble, but overall a low-magic dirt and grime type feel. The fey are welcome as long as they aren't Tolkien-esque. More of a Jack Vance/Robert E. Howard type of thing. What do you guys think?

Google Wave

This is neat. I can see this as the next 'wave' in virtual table top gaming. If someone had a tabletop they would be able to plug into Wave and get a whole lot of open source functionality.
