Right I've sorted out a subscription and video and audio and whatnot seems to work perfectly okay. So two things: 1 - shall we move this thread to the remote gaming node? - and 2 who wants to do a quick test with me, other than registering an account on
https://app.playrole.com/signup you shouldn't need to do anything else - beyond us sorting out a day/time!
We can then figure out how you some of it works.
Now they do have "online" character sheets you can create, but to be honest I'm not super keen on the that as they look far too complicated given how large each field is rendered, so I was thinking we'd probably just use pen and paper for that!
I don't know how many of their "features" we'll use, dice - certainly, the images, audio and other bits all look like they could be useful and the tool being browser based is probably useful given our mix of operating systems. So I'm not expecting to do a lot more than you could with Teams/Zoom/Whatever, but hopefully those few extra bits will make everything integrate a bit better.
I've pulled out the first pile of Warpstone magazines to have a rummage and see if I can find a nice short introduction adventure (that will hopefully be new to you all) I can learn quickly. I've also dusted off a copy of WFRP to remind myself how to play - although hopefully enough seeped into my veins over the years that it'll come back quite quickly!
Does everyone have a copy of the rulebook? There is very little difference between the hardback and soft back or the Hogshead edition so any should be fine. I did have a really beaten up copy I used as my "lending copy", but I suspect it didn't get back to me after my last lend since I can't find it obviously. If we're shy a copy or so I might see if I can grab the cheap hardback on ebay at present, although it does have a couple of bids so might not actually go super cheap.
