Nov 13, 2010 20:38:08 Greetings all,

We are in the process of setting up a Digichat based RPG chat game set in the city of Sharn and we are looking for both players and DMs to join in on the fun! Right now the chat is scheduled to open at the end of the month but players who join in now with the discussions on the forums will gain a special bonus when the chat goes live. This is the time when rules are being finalized by the DM team so your opinions can affect how things are played when we open!

Stop in and visit us here!

We can also be found on Twitter and Facebook.

Think you might want to help out on the DM/PDM side of things? Check out the info here.

Hope to see you in Breland!

Nov 15, 2010 18:40:47 Change of Launch Schedule:

The staff at Exodus have informed us that some complications on their end will require us to launch Sharn later than expected. Right now we are looking at January to be when we go live in order to hopefully give time for the folks at Exodus to get everything ready. In the end this gives us a little more time to talk in the forums and for DM Team to design more evil schemes to spring once we go live. Thanks for your patience!

Feel that goblin rights are being violated, the food served at The Oaks was not up to par, witnessed a crime people need to know about and want to earn a little extra xp? Write a news article about it and e-mail it to one of the DM team for approval. If we like it you will receive an XP bonus and your article will be posted for all to read. Check out the details here.

Nov 23, 2010 12:12:44 How does this RPG Chat thing work?

With this style of chat based game the rooms of the chat are setup to be different places within the setting which in this case would be Sharn. So there would be rooms for: Upper Dura, Middle Dura, Lower Tavick's Landing, The Cogs, The King of Fire, etc.

The chat is up and open at all times allowing players to login and role-play together in the various locations in the city and if needed make new temporary rooms to represent places that we may not have on the permanent room list. The chat also keeps track of character sheets which can only be modified by members of the DM team. When you create a new character you will need to wait for it to be approved by a DM before going in character with it. This is so we can make sure characters are only using chat approved materials.

The DM team is a group of volunteers who login when they have time to run scenes (short events, meeting NPC contacts, etc) or adventures (more in line of what you might expect in a typical table top game session) for those who are online. They might post adventure sign up/announcements in the forums ahead of time or just spring something on those who are already in character on the chat.

Players can freely form organizations among themselves or join one of the existing ones from the setting if they meet the requirements. We will be working to accommodate PC run guilds in the forums by providing them with their own subforum if requested. Some of the official groups people could join: The Sharn Watch, The Boromar Clan, The Daask, The King's Citadel, The Deathsgate Adventurers Guild, etc.

I hope this gives a better idea of what it is all about. Feel free to post any further questions here or you can contact me directly by e-mail.

Feb 06, 2011 18:55:44 BETA TEST!!!

Due to circumstances beyond our control, we still aren’t sure when Sharn will open on Exodus. However, we are just as anxious as all of you to get started playing so it’s been decided that we will open for beta testing on Friday, Feb. 18, 2011!

This is your chance to help us test out some of the rules and really get a feel for the setting before Sharn goes live on Exodus. As our way of saying thank you, all loot and xp awards earned during beta testing will carry over once the chat officially opens.

To participate, all you need to do is create a character by registering a new account on the forums, fill out all of the profile fields, and let a DM know you are ready to be sanctioned. Once a DM has approved your sheet, the DM will create a chat login for you with a temporary password that you will need to change after you login to the chat for the first time.

From here on out, all forum profiles will only be visible to the profile owner, DMs, and admin to ensure strict character privacy.

If you have any questions, don’t be afraid to ask.
