Ahh.. Listening to this made me long for going back to GenCon. It's been a couple of years now... Some good tips in there though -- definitely practical.

Farcaster created an article Chat Room: Exploding Dice in Home

Now that we've settled in with the new chat room software and I've finally managed to get the dice roller stable, I've started working on expanding the dice rolling functions beyond the mundane roll-x-die-y-times. The first and most requested feature was for exploding dice. And what red blooded...

I. J. Thompson replied to a discussion General Discussion, Vol. 2 in group Star Wars: Tapestry

I know I got several of them, but I think not all! Could be, though I thought they were both entirely missed! It's actually sort of odd to me that I've introduced no less than four 'alternative lifestyle' characters into this story (me being straight n' all), even though only one of...

It's interesting to me that you guys have meanings for all those names. I always chose mine based purely on the sounds they made, and thought that everyone else did, too! :D Although now that I think about it, one of my names had hidden meaning: LX-00. In theatre, the term 'LX' indicates a...

Interesting behind-the-scenes question! Here are some of mine: Fiola Shaku: Some years ago me and another guy wrote and produced a stage musical, where one of the characters' names was 'Phee'. While I loved the sound of that name, I always hated when two letters would combine to make a sound...

I think there might be a link the chat client for a user focused manual, but I can't access it at the moment. Damned firewalls at work. I noticed some oddities with this as well and planned to work on it. More accurately, I think it would say d20 (16) + 2 (2). That is accurate, but not...

It appears we can't make a private room. The new details are on the event page. Also whatever we type seems to remain in the room indefinitely, so bear that in mind. I'm not sure what people didn't like about the old chat, but that's progress, I guess.

Farcaster replied to a thread New Downloads Section in Feedback

You only received the "generic" systems because you had not gone into a specific section to upload your file. If you were in the Fantasy section, you'd get the fantasy options + generic. It is already possible to reference a URL, but I may have only enabled that for special guests and...

For now there is not. That isn't a feature they built into it, but there is a way for me to approximate it outside of the flash interface using their API. Basically, you'd reserve a room through P&PG and then it would password protect it under the hood. Not sure.

A heads-up: they've updated to the new chat software, and it's quite different, so whoever plans on coming will probably want to give it a look first.

Looking good! Is there still a way to password-protect the room you're in? Can't seem to find it. In my Group's case, we hold a monthly chat where we talk specifically about our own game (which wouldn't be of much interest to anyone who isn't involved). It would be nice to be able to eliminate...

Just an update. I turned my attention towards getting a new chat software setup for a while, which was involved to get things like dice rollers working, etc. I'm wrapping that up, so I'll be coming back around to the Downloads section soon.

You cannot. It only allows creating rooms from the admin panel or through the API. I may add an external tool that will let you reserve a room, so to speak. But that will be later on. For now though, you'll have to use the pre-generated gaming rooms.

Okay, the new Chat Night event is up on the Group's page. Come on down and RSVP 'yes', 'no', or 'tentative', so we'll have an idea of who to expect! (you can change your RSVP at any time before the event if something comes up) Also, I'd love it if you guys would tell me if the time is...

Actually, the trip idea was definitely a late-night pipe dream. But it would certainly be fun to get in a skype conference call when we wrap this thing!
