When? When would be a good time for everyone and who all has it? I don't right now (played the demo), but damnit....I WILL!

Well Arch if you got it, it seems like that would make 4. Me, you, Neo and Imperil. The bigger question would be setting up an agreeable time for everyone to play.

Late afternoon/early evening would be best for me. The disk drive took a crap on my xbox so I am using my cousin's until I get my fixed and he is at my house to play games most nights. Also if you have found any fun co-op games then lemme know. Always looking for more co-op to add to my collection.

Late afternoon/early evening could work for me on a Friday or Saturday.

I'm usually not on until about 8:30pm between Monday and Friday, but on the weekends I'm on really any time.
I have no sig.

Not sure what time zone everyone is in, I am central time zone so just let me know the time difference between us. I would say we could do it this weekend but seeing as it is a holiday some of you have kids to take care of. Arch and Ayyyla you guys think you could play on a weekday night?

Almost forgot, IDO=sucks. I have a xbox friend request still pending approval for the past 2 weeks at least. Check your messages!!!!!
And the new update coming with facebook is hilarious.

I could probably give it a shot on a weekday night after 8pm, but that may be late for others.

Ayyyla continues to be a jobless hobo in this economy in this little dump we're stationed in. Wednesdays are out because I play tabletop D&D via maptools and ventrilo. Otherwise, unless I'm out of town taking the kid to his specialist in Charleston, I could be available during the week.

I think Arch is in Central...so that would be 9pm my time, which would be great for me.

Neo - we use this java application called maptools. It is free. You can find it here: http://www.rptools.net/index.php?page=maptool. We also use the token tool program at rptools.

It's called maptools and you can use it to draw/upload maps but it also acts as a virtual table top. There is a chat function. All the monsters/players have tokens that move on the grid overlay. You can program macros for the tokens for all your skill checks and powers and so forth. It's a really damned nice program with lots of functionality.

So a group of gee...like 8 players and a DM I think are in this game...hop onto vent, the DM starts the server using the maptools java app and everyone jumps on pulls out their tokens and we play.

It's not quite as awesome as playing at a real table with people sitting beside you eating cheetos but then again you have a larger selection of people to include in your game, so the quality of your company is sometimes better. We have a lot of fun. I've DM'd a short campaign that way once and now I'm a player in this one.

We've used uh...what's that program called...Fantasy Grounds and it's pretty cool but maptools actually does a lot of really awesome stuff that FG II doesn't and it's FREE! Hurrah for free.

I'd be happy to answer any other questions you have about that stuff.

I'll be getting a 360 in a little over a month, hope to have the tag PHXGrimwulf if it's available, if not I'll post again to let you all know what my tag is. I'll probably be playing Rainbow 6 Vegas 1&2 and GoW 1&2 to start but I'll try to get some of the other games you guys have.
