Official D&D group?

That is where your skills as a manager need to come into play. You should probably start getting affiliations sorted out with Donny asap.

YOU GUYS NEED SOME KIND OF STICKCAM TO PLAY DONT FORGET

:

[Chris]

No, the players just need to install the Virtual Dice program.

[Laharl]

The virtual dice system (OpenRPG to be exact) is a free version of Wizard ot the coast's pay to use software.

[Chris]

Yeah I have seen that program. It simulates dice rolls, I should make one myself for my resume using VC++.

[Laharl]

If you're making it, I'd officially support it.

[Chris]

I need programming experience. And all it really is is typing in some simple numbers in a Dialog Box. And playing around with the document view. The only hard part is learning the skematics of the dice throws.

[Laharl]

We should communicate on AIM/MSN as to when we will do the first session.

My contact info is readily available.

Just use whatever form of "choose random(x)" C++ is, I forgot. At least for a 6side.

It's a 20 second program in reality. 40 seconds if you wanna do "chose random based on this value".

User specifies dice roll setup.

Then do a rand( ) % max side of dice = number of dice rolls required.

Output them to the screen. But since I would be using Graphics, the real challenge is drawing Polygons that are like the dice themselves.

[Laharl]

He'd also need the other traits of the virtual table. And then it's done.

[Chris]

If you mean the textbox and buttons and ****. I would need to freshen up my knowledge of .Net C++. This will allow me to thread things and create a more useful GUI. But the problem is: It may have some issues running MFC classes for visuals.

[Laharl]

Don't forget the map features, etc. And the chat ones. So messy...

[Chris]

Chat features is easier to do on Linux. Read and writing to sockets is not a problem. And I do not want to learn DirectPlay (internet DirectX).

Doing the map depends. Its really just keeping track of player locations.

[Laharl]

It doesn't need too much more complicated than paint really. Let the DM draw shapes, etc

[Chris]

That is a simple CDC (Client Drawing Context) creation and loop thru it via timer ticks.

[Laharl]

Maybe a feature for moving their characters, monsters, etc. Chests, doors, and other features. Would be kinda cool.

If this is something that can be illegally downloaded via bittorrents, I can host it on my personal server for others to download off of that aren't familiar with it. I might be interested in this sort of thing if you guys are still planning on doing it. I played a lot of 2nd and 3rd edition with my friends back home till I moved about 7 states away from them.

[Laharl]

I'm still somewhat interested. What race/class do you want to play?

[coRtALoS]

Anything that might be missing I can easily handle. What do you have so far?
