Jun 23, 2010 20:45:59 Hi all,

I know this may not be the right place for this, but I'm posting here b/c I'd prefer someone who knows FR lore. In my campaign, the players have just befriended a gold dragon and a cloud giant who are going to help them battle the tarrasque. They went back in time to ancient netheril, and they are gathering spell components for Karsus (the gizzard of a dragon and the pituitary gland of the tarrasque).

Anyone with skype can do it, b/c my gaming group lives in 5 different states and three different time zones. We use maptool. You don't have to know anything about maptool to play, and I will prepare macros for all of your powers.

If anyone can help me out with this, I'd really appreciate it. I can get you details about the NPCs to influence how you play them. Can anyone help a DM out?

Jun 23, 2010 20:53:35 I am one of Paul's players, and I cannot begin to describe how much we would appreciate someone helping us out.

Gaming under Paul is always an experience, because I have yet to meet a DM who puts as much effort into each session. Each character, down to the smallest NPC, is well crafted and fleshed out. A throw-away NPC butler became a full-fledged party member simply because he was so interesting that we couldn't bear to get rid of the quirky kobold.

If 'gaming with one of D&D's most professional DMs" isn't enough of a motivator, how about this: We are fighting a freaking tarrasque! How many of us, as players, have joked about fighting this fearsome creature? Amongst this group (we have been together in various forms for almost 5 years), the joke for when the action slows down is "okay, a tarrasque approaches, roll for initiative".

Please come be part of what will surely be a ridiculously amazing encounter/combat. Who knows, you might like what you see and decide to incorporate some of our methods into your current gaming techniques.

I would love to...but

1) What is skype? I know I don't have it but might be able to get it...depending on it's size and such.

2) What time? Day? etc.

I don't think I will be able to do it...so I am not promising anything here.

Jun 30, 2010 7:04:44 I probably won't be able to help myself, seeing as I'm in europe and already have next week booked solid -- But have you tried te LFG/LFP forums on the maptools website? ( forums.rptools.net/viewforum.php?f=11 )

They are fairly active, so there's a decent chance someone there might be able to help you out.

For the poster above -- Skype ( www.skype.com ) is a voice chat program, so people with microphones can communicate vocally over the internet. Some people prefer it to text-based chats, while others either lack a microphone, prefer not to run a secondary application, or play at hours of the day where talking loudly into a microphone would annoy people around them.
