Open RPG
« on: August 20, 2007, 04:06:41 PM »
Does anyone on this board use this program?

I've been looking into it a little, since it seems like online gaming would be a very practical way for me to play rpg games I don't normally get to play.

This new group I joined uses it mainly for pictures, die rolls and private messages for couple skype players. I installed it on my MacBook and it seems to work fine and I see it becoming very useful for online gaming.

We've used it in the past in our group. For online Mutants and Masterminds and for our trial run into the fabulous world of 4E. It was pretty handy and let us play at weird hours which for my wife and I was pretty dang handy. Kid doing homework? Game!

Plus you could step away to help her with said homework and blame it on lag, everyone wins!

We did notice that one of our players had his connection die regularly and for bizarre reasons. That may not have been the openrpg client, but it seemed to be the only software he had that was having problems. We had some lockup issues as well which we found was related to our firewall settings.  Generally we looked for servers that had low numbers of connections. More connections meant more lag.

Bit of a pain in the arse, but handy once you get it working.

I've always preferred screen monkey over openRpg, but that's just my preference. OpenRPG is fine too, though

Oooooh shiny. Thanks for the tip. I'll pass this one onto my group.
