Raiden - are you going to run a VTT as well?

Just curious.

maybe if we need one. the ones I have seen are somewhat cumbersome. I may just send you guys emails of a general layout of the area with any enemies therein. not sure on this just yet.

Works for me. I'm not even sure how the VTTs work.

Which one? I watched a tutorial on rolld20.com. It looked fairly easy...

And some backstory:

[spoiler]

Born and raised in a Sioux Nation primitive colony, Crystal was a hunter and warrior amongst her own people. The simple lifestlye, far away from the bustling metroplexes of modern society, suited her just fine. However, several years ago, Crystal was called upon to perform a vision quest by one of her colony's prominent medicine men. Performing a second vision quest (Crystal had already completed her traditional hembleciya years earlier) was a rarity amongst her community, but the medicine man claimed to have had a premonition of Crystal traveling far away to the world's great cities, and returning with something of incredible value to the colony. Deciding to trust in her people, Crystal agreed to go.

Unfortunately, such a journey is not so easy to undertake in the Sixth World. This was especially true for Crystal, who had only ever heard of things like cars and computers from stories. Her lack of experience in the urban world made Crystal easy to manipulate for those who wanted make use of her talents. The allure of drugs, sex, and money got the better of Crystal, bit by bit, and she slowly started to forget the reason she came to Seattle in the first place. Crystal was eventually given an offer to "work" for Lassvanrin, a female elf fixer and owner HotShot, an electronica bar and club that's every bit as seedy and dangerous as it is run down. Crystal provides security and works on some of the small time jobs Lassvanrin throws her, in exchange for a meager salary and getting to live in the bar.

Currently, Cyrstal still lives at HotShot, working for Lassvanrin. She's eager to get a big break... but does that mean looking for a better life in the city? Or trying to continue her quest? Crystal gets a bit more uncertain every day.

Crystal is about as tall as any troll, with a thick and fit physique. Her canines are somewhat smaller than what is usually seen, as are her horns, which protrude from her head with only a slight bend. Crystal actually has a second set of horns, just above the first, but they are little more than a pair of bony knubs and are usually covered completely by her hair. Although she's pretty by troll standards, Crystal's rustic and squalid lifestyle is evidenced in her appearance. Her clothes are cheap and ratty, and her black hair is an unkempt, uncut, dry mess. Crystal has strong, native NAN features and has several traditional tattoo markings. Visible tattoos include a single line going down each cheek from the eye, and a series of zig-zaging lines and dots down the length of her right arm. These tattoos were done in the traditional fashion, with archaic instruments, giving them a "rough" appearance.

Oh, and you can get me on Skype at: lmolatmk00821.

idk.  I don't think its D20 last time I tried that one it was a little laggy but I will check it out again.

I would just use it for the maps so everyone can move their character in combat and see the bad guys and use cover.  It looks like you can make the map as you go quickly.  That is just from the demo tho.  Part of TTRPGs is using your imagination as well.  When I game in person, we just use a big grid map and minatures.  The location is just drawn on the map in dry erase marker.

I'll try out roll20.com right now and see if I can get it work. Looks like IE is out and you need Chrome or Firefox to run it.

EDIT:  I just tried it out.  Seems to work pretty well from what I could tell.  Although it would be better to try it out with someone logging into it as a player(s). 

EDIT:  Also, the website is roll20.net

we could probably use roll20 if everyone can get on and see ok. though atm I can only do rudimentary stuff with it. very, rudimentary, as I work with it can get better I may be able to make more immersive stuff. but  it will do the job of showing the layout and showing the enemies. I think.

I'll be online tonight if you need any help testing.

Skype name is martinchaen (easy enough :) ), and I vote I don't know anyone, given my character's background.
