MapTool VTT Session Planed

Post by Duniagdra »

With the help of another member, JP, I will be organizing a Virtual Table Top session. For this session, I will be using characters from an already running PbP Pathfinder Campaign, Runelords. This will be an open invite to anyone wanting to see MapTool in Real Time game play.

I will assign tokens once play begins. This is a first time run, so I as well as you will be learning. If you happen to know MapTool and have used it as a VTT I'll hear your input, but I'm looking at learning to run it. There will be no hijacking. A player password will be assigned at time of play.

I have three people already in; admin, Twiglet, and JaguarPriestess. JP is hosting this for me, and I thank her ever so much. I'm not having any luck figuring out how to get connected. I've tried everything and failed. I'm sure JP will make for a wonderful and lovely hostess though, and I look forward to connecting with her :wink:

We have no date yet, but I'm thinking Friday night or Saturday/Sunday. When a date and time is chosen, we will meet in chat, linked at the top of this forum and in my signature, or i will post the player password the day of and people will chime in, or I will PM the player password to those who have posted so this does not get out of hand.
  • The plan, and rules are as follows:
  • Requires Active Subscription and Latest Version of TOS+. Current version is TOS+v3.302.
  • In this thread, you will post player or observer.
  • First to post as player, and is good for the chosen time slot determined, will get to be a player first when the session starts.
  • Must be running the same version of MapTool. Download maptool-1.3.b63.zip and extract to your computer. This is the build I'm using.
  • You must have an active subscription to participate, and a current version of TOS+.
  • I'm looking at maybe an hour. It's up the our hostess. If she's willing, there might be more.
  • The first encounter will be the first players to post here. I will have several encounters set and am still working on the rest of the layout.
  • Observers are only observing, Consider yourselves like watching a movie at the theater. When the Session begins, the only ones chatting, in MapTool, will be those playing.
  • Prior to play, we will cover the chat commands, token movement, vision, and some other things.
With MapTool open, click File>>Connect to Server

Create your own Username, TOS Forum Username preferred.
Password is RotR1224
Role is set to player

Under the RPTool.net tab, you're looking for Duniagdra to connect to under server name. You should be able to double-click to access.

Click Windows>>Chat and Windows>>Impersonate and Windows>>Initiative.
Top Right is a globe icon. Click that and select Random to expose the map being played.

Current Session Post is HERE. Using the Pathfinder Rule Set.

My timezone is GMT-5, US/Canada east coast, or something like that.
When you post here, offer dates and times that would be good. Yes, I'm using plural, because multiple dates and times will better allow me to pick one that the most can attend.

I may add other things as they come up, but this is it for now.

i'd say me, but i already got a gaming session for sunday and likely also monday so i fear the missus won't approve :( I'll keep a look out and if she's thankfully keeping herself busy i'll see if there's a slot open.

When you say evening though ... what is your timezone? GMT+1 here.

I would like to try it out, depending on timing (most Fridays/Saturdays/Sundays are okay).

I would like to give it a go as a player, but I live in England (GMT), so times may be a bit different from all of you who live in America

For the record, I'm GMT-5. I have Benji as a potential player. Patransom, are you posting as a player? From the sound of your post, yes?

I'll update thread starter with my timezone.

Yes, as a player, but I'll just as happily be an observer if there isn't room for another player.

I would like to be in as a player, but I have no idea about the time issue (I live in California). I could do Sunday after noons, and Thursday nights. If that won't work, I understand.

Okay. So that would make the six I need for the six characters I have to use for this test run. How is everyone for Sunday afternoon? 2 PM US EST?

14:00:00 Sunday February 21, 2010 in EST converts to
20:00:00 Sunday February 21, 2010 in GMT+1

that works for me :)

I still have to confirm with the three I've been talking to in chat; JP, Twig, and admin/Richard.

As of now I'm looking at a gathering on this Sunday, with start times between 14:00-15:30 GMT-5.

Richard needs to get his priorities straight. :P

No sweat man. If you can, you can. If this is successful, and the doing is possible, there may be other sessions.

Okay, today's start time will be 15:00 GMT-5 (3 PM EST) I Just got a call from family for a diner at 6 PM EST, so we have at most 1.5 hours of messing around. I don't want to spend too much time with going over things, but will take all the time needed to play this scenario. Meet me in chat if you have questions or trouble.

As of now, I have the following as players:
  • Twiglet
  • JaguarPriestess (our host)
  • Badlapje
  • Kabkol
  • Benji (I think?)
I still have room for one more.

Yesterday's test run went well. There were some hiccups, but for the first time, I think it went well. I'd like to schedule another session. If any are interested, please post up as defined in the leading post above.

Once again I would like to try this as a player. Hopefully I would be able to make the game next time you attempt this. So, please count me in.

I would like to apologise for not being there without warning. I had a migraine attack which started sundaymorning. At that point pretty much all i thought about was to lie as still as possible in as dark a room as possible. Migraine passed on tuesday, i spent the time since relaxedly catching up with work.

I'm very sorry about this :(

Everyone has an excuse.





No sweat. I had two, almost three, participate in what turned out to be a TPK. Maybe I should have held back the Hobgoblins? I'm looking to have another session, maybe on Sunday again, but not this Sunday. Possibly at 3 PM EST (15:00 GMT-5) the Sunday after? I'll work on building a new encounter and will post once done. I've been a bit busy lately, and really tired for some reason.

I should be able to make the game that day. Do you want us to create our own characters or are you going to assign again?

This time, I'll take character submissions.

Pathfinder RPG, 4th level, Rolled stats on IC, include BBCode link to rolls in post with character submission, roll must be made with MT VTT as the campaign name and character name in IC should match character in TOS+. For HP, use MAX HD+6 for 1st level and MAX HD for each following. Use Table 12-4 of the PF CRB for character starting wealth (6000). One Weapon Type of 3000 value and one protective type of 2000. That should be a total of 11,000gp in value to start. Looking for 4 minimum players.
For the Rolled Stats:
Use Invisible Castle (create user account if needed, it's free.) with the following filled in:
  1. Character Name: Enter your character's name
  2. Campaign Name: Duni's LoF
  3. Number of rolls: 6
  4. Dice: 4d6.minroll(2).takeHighest(3)
  5. Notes: Anything you wish.
