Look what just arrived at my doorstep. [Click for full image, its hard to show on mobile] So excited! Gamemasters guide coming next week. Haven't played #earthdawn in 5 years, and it was probably 15 years before that since the last game. Wow, I missed that game. Now to just convince my group to switch. Need to check out the #foundryvtt support which I hear is great for fourth edition. #fourtheditionthatrocks #vtt

@insipidutopian I've always loved Earthdawn. The only way I've been able to play is on Discord. There are a few games to be found to play there, and some workarounds that are possible in Play by Post on rpgcrossing.com.

I've got a huge page of dice codes prepped on rpgcrossing.com, those work perfectly for Earthdawn. I don't play there any more, life is too busy, but Discord works great.

@Karhald Pretty sure my online weeknight group is switching to Earthdawn 4E after we wrap up our D&D 5e campaign. I just wish I could try out #foundryvtt with #earthdawn support (it has no content, just the rules, but you can't make a character or link to one online unless you buy the players handbook) so it's hard to preview.

I'm looking forward to playing it again soon, it's been a while.

I can give you a preview if you want to set up a time to check it out.

@LoreMerchant @Karhald Definitely interested in that, thank you. I am in EST timezone, and am generally available after 7 pm EST weekdays, more flexible weekends. What times work for you?

@LoreMerchant @Karhald I'm in. I think afternoon or later on S
aturday would work, or Sunday. Unless you're free now, which also works... Not sure if Karhald is interested or not and we're trying to coordinate...

@insipidutopian @Karhald Saturday afternoon is better for me.
Show threadinsipidutopian (he/him)Feb 10, 2023
@LoreMerchant @Karhald No worries. Does earlier or later in the afternoon work better?
Show threadinsipidutopian (he/him)Feb 10, 2023
@LoreMerchant @Karhald actually, earlier is now better for me, as a family event just got scheduled in the late afternoon into the evening.
Show threadKarhaldFeb 10, 2023
@insipidutopian @LoreMerchant That would be wonderful, unfortunately I cannot schedule any times for live games. Play by Post is all I can do. Thank you for offering, though.

@Karhald Just curious, what medium do you use to play by post? Email, forum, chat, or something else? I am really not familiar with it.

@insipidutopian

I used rpgcrossing.com

It's a good community with great forum tools.the dice roller isn't set up for the step system without serious custom chains, but I created a whole bunch of steps. Just bookmark my page, find the needed step (with or without Karma) and triple-click, copy, and paste.
