Get one. They're cheap.

Lifechat LX-3000 has really good sound quality, and will only run you 10-15USD shipped.

OpenRPG is better.

OpenRPG is better.

We need something easy to learn. Though we're not really strapped for time...
OpenRPG looks no-nonsense but will it be easy to integrate rules?
Battlegrounds seem okay for simulating combat with minis too since 4e "forces" us to use minis.
Fantasy Ground seems good only if we built the entire campaign on it? Not sure.

Also: Wall of Penis.

Penny Arcade and PvP played 4e and made a podcast
you can listen to them play its awesome for ppl to get a feel on how the game is !

So the current plan is that Urza (or someone else) will run test scenarios then Bob will DM in the "real" campaign?

If so, I think Bob already has some material for us. How will this campaign be run? Dead serious, gritty, comedic, etc.?

 

[Bob Evil]

I'm down with that ... happy to GM when I get back, at the end of Summer ...

I'll PM you a scenario over the weekend ...

 

[BoneMonkey]

thats a good idea gives us a chance to know the game
