    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 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...

    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.

    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.

    Very cool. From the little I read, that setting seems pretty awesome -- definitely up my alley. Alas, I'm already in a group and about to start a new Iron Kingdom's campaign or I'd definitely consider it.

About Me
Biography:
For the last ten years, Jess Hartley has worked as a freelance writer, editor and developer, predominantly in the roleplaying game industry.
Jess started working with White Wolf in 2003, when she penned the Exalted novel, “In Northern Twilight". Since then, she has written content for Skinchangers, Reliquary (which she also developed), Midnight Roads and Innocents from the World of Darkness core game line, The Beast That Hunts The Blood (Nosferatu Clanbook) for Vampire: The Masquerade, Free Council, Silver Ladder and Mysterium for Mage: The Awakening, all four of the Promethean: The Created supplements (Pandora’s Book, Strange Alchemies, Magnum Opus and Saturnine Night), “Predators” for Werewolf: The Forsaken and “The Compass of the Celestial Directions 1: The Blessed Isle” for Exalted Second Edition. She’s also contributed to the Scion line (Scion: Demigod and Scion: God,) and was part of the core team that created Changeling: The Lost and Hunter: The Vigil, working on both the core rule books, as well as several supplements for each of the lines.
One of Jess’ latest projects has been helping create Geist: The Sineaters, White Wolf’s newest game line, which debuted in August of 2009, as well as multiple electronic projects such as Collection of Horrors, Ready-Made Changeling Characters, and The Rose-Bride’s Plight, a Changeling: The Lost Storyteller Adventure System .pdf product, which was nominated for an ENnie for Best Adventure.
A life-long native of the Pacific Northwest, she’s recently found herself transplanted to the wilds of Southeastern Arizona, where she dwells with her husband and daughter and a menagerie of other interesting creatures. She’s an active member of The Camarilla and the Society for Creative Anachronism, and participates in a plethora of other strange and curious hobbies and pastimes which often make her neighbors and acquaintances scratch their heads in confusion.

In Which We Find Inspiration...

by JessHartley on 10-06-2009 at 09:39 AM
In a recent letter from one of my readers, I was asked about how to deal with a specific form of writer's block. Not the inability to write anything, in this case, but being stymied partway into a project because you suddenly realize that the story feels familiar. In an instant, you've gone from energized about your latest work to double-checking every aspect of it against any book, movie or song you've ever heard.

The letter from "Stuck in a Rut" (amd my response) will

In Which We Have A Busy Week...

Wow, this has been an exciting week for me! Crazy busy (hey, this is becoming habit) so I'm going to touch lightly on what I can.

Tinker's Damn (Steampunk Card Game)
Monday, I sent off the prototype of Tinker's Damn for review by my first game company. This is thrilling, not just because the game is finally ready to show others, but because I wowed the owner/lead game designer enough with the inquiry letter to lead him to ask to see the prototype. I know that (like being published

Talking to Sharks...

by JessHartley on 09-15-2009 at 07:08 PM
Recently, I've had the pleasure of doing some game-creation work for Lone Shark Games, a fantastic collective of game-makers, event planners and all around fun-makers.
You may have encountered their work at Gen Con's Guardian 6 events or Puzzle Hunts.
Or, if you work for a cool enough company, it's possible they may have organized or invented games for one of your events.
