[Savage Worlds]Darwin's World

[CrazyGoblinoid]

In the distant northeast reaches of the Far Desert, legends among the shattered tribes of natives speak of a mythical place, “Skeleton Base”, somewhere among the tangerine sands, perhaps still naked to the burning crimson sky after all these years. Once a storage place of magical weapons for the armies of the Ancients, it is said that in their final years they conjured a great metal-skinned “demon” to guard the base for all eternity, only to surrender its vigil should they ever return. Persistent tales over the generations have spoken of the base, of chance discoveries, and unerringly similar descriptions of the great centauroid demon that still guards the gates to this base – a base surrounded by the picked-clean bones of those who have fallen to the entity that watches over this sacred place of the Ancients.

[CrazyGoblinoid]

Cool, what times are good for you?

[nethru]

I'm definitively interested.

[CrazyGoblinoid]

Hi nethru, what, days/times are good for you?

[nethru]

Most week nights except Wed/Fri.

[CrazyGoblinoid]

So Tuesday evening (UK time) is looking good?

Calendar entry here (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/calendar/index.xcp?id=662).

[WhiskeyJack]

Wouldn't mind jumping in on this.
New to FG2, just purchased it over the weekend and looking to run my own games with a few friends at a later date. So I figure what better why to learn stuff than jump into a game. Not overly familiar with the setting but do have the Savage Worlds core book so know the rule system.

[CrazyGoblinoid]

Glad to have you.

[CrazyGoblinoid]

Morbius and nethru, please indicate in the thread or on the calendar times that you can make.

[CrazyGoblinoid]

Fortnightly Saturdays have been suggested in the calendar, thoughts?

[Morbius]

sounds good, let's play!

[CrazyGoblinoid]

Calendar updated. Looking like it's going to be a fortnightly Saturday game

[Ebeny]

If it's a Saturday game I would be very interested in playing. Is there a game happening this weekend? That is assuming you're still taking people. I'm new to Savage worlds, but I did a read through and it doesn't seem that hard to pick up.

[CrazyGoblinoid]

Yes it's looking like a Saturday, Yes still talking :) Only Morbius has stated a preference so far - next Saturday.

If everyone can vote on the calendar it should firm things up.

Savage Worlds is fairly quick to pick up, that's one of the reasons I like it!

[CrazyGoblinoid]

Server will be up at 1900 (UK time) today for ruleset download and FG/SW/DW familiarisation.

[Takagi]

Just wanted to say I think this is a really cool setting and if there is ever some flex in the times and such I would love to get involved. I work the over nights east coast so my normal operating time is 3pm est to 6:30 est all days of the week I am available. Take care and good luck on your adventures.

[CrazyGoblinoid]

With 7 players signed up I've now closed the calendar. I'm around tonight (UK time) for character creation if anyone's interested, please post in the calendar.

Takagi, I'll not be able to do at a different time on Saturdays, sorry.

[CrazyGoblinoid]

Server is up for ruleset download and PC creation.

[CrazyGoblinoid]

Sooo, I've had the server up on two occasions where Players have said they will connect for ruleset download/familiarisation/PC creation, and on both occasions no-one showed.... It's not boding well for saturday :s

server down

[vell0611]

More because of people not constantly checking FG forums and when they do, the server has already been taken down. :(

[CrazyGoblinoid]

Players had specifically said they were going to show and didn't, I don't think you need to constantly check once you have agreed to a time?

PM me if you want it back up (in the next hour)

Edit:

You're not even down on the calendar for this one :confused:

[WhiskeyJack]

I was on at 8 and tried to connect numerous times but kept getting script errors. I posted a note in the Calander chat to state that I couldn't connect. Was the server up at 8 or did it only go up at 8:30 when you posted in the forum

[CrazyGoblinoid]

Hmm, there's no note on the calendar from you and I never had you showing as connected in FG, what were the script errors?

I was keeping an eye on the forums, PMs and calendar throughout the time, but never saw anything.

PM me if you want to try again (in the next 45 mins)

[WhiskeyJack]

Yeah just looked there, no note. Strange. Had trouble since setting up port forwarding etc. I'll try to connect again and maybe we can get to the bottom of the problem

[CrazyGoblinoid]

Server is now up (note that there is now a password, found in the calendar)

btw you shouldn't need to port forward to join a game, only to host

[WhiskeyJack]

God dammit. Can't connect, never thought I'd need an IT degree to use this software. When I ammend my local area connection to allow port 1802 I recive the following script error [string "scripts/LauncherProperties. lua"] 200 bad argument #1 to 'startClient' (string expected, got boolean) ????
When I try to connect with my default settings I just get the cant connect message!

[CrazyGoblinoid]

I've removed the password, try again, i'll also pm my IP to you. I'll also go to FG chat for the next 30 mins

[vell0611]

You're not even down on the calendar for this one :confused:

Sorry mate, it seems so. Though it usually is the key.

[Magnatude]

Do you get this when you fill in the "create a new campaign" and run the TEST button? (it indicates SUCCESS or FAILURE)

If you dont get that running the test it might be something else.

[CrazyGoblinoid]

I was getting "success" and WhiskeyJack ended up connecting fine with the IP address. There shouldn't be a pass word now.

[CrazyGoblinoid]

I will leave the server up for now.

Edit:

It looks like there might still have been a password, although not the original. It should now be removed and I've connected to myself without it.

Edit 2:

Just realised I can't leave it up today, until around 2000 (UK time)

[CrazyGoblinoid]

The server is up and will remain up for at least 12 hours. Please note new IP address in the calendar.

Edit
Server down

[CrazyGoblinoid]

Server is up and will remain up until start time. It may occasionally go down when I reload modules.

[ImaTarget]

Hello all,

is this still running and has spaces open? I am interested.

[CrazyGoblinoid]

This adventure seems to be dying, and to be honest it wasn't my preferred day, so I think I will let it die... :(
