Good news everyone. I have internet and enough privacy that i can do it this tuesday.

Terrible news everyone. I don't know if potato internet can sustain skype call/webcam video.

speedtest says I have 1mb dl and 0.15mb ul.

Given I will inevitably need to share, uh...Not sure if enough. someone with experience with potato internet tell me if its enough

Well, let's give it a try, but the likelihood is we'll have to cancel tomorrow.

according to skype,

https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA1417/how-much-bandwidth-does-skype-need

Minimum for a group of 5+ people in video is 2Mbps/128kbps, and recommended is 4Mbps/512kbps.

I've been testing it out and I think I realistically get half of what speed-test says even without parents leeching bandwidth so it's most definitely a no-go (1/4th of recommended specs, minus whatever I need for Roll20 and stuff...). Sorreh. :\

I legit feel like I have dial-up atm. :-<

incidentally this also frees up an evening for me to get semi-drunk with JonGalt

Yeah, it looks like we can't do tomorrow. Sucks, but vacation is vacation.

Enjoy Galting around.

Edit: Maybe I'll stream Dark Souls instead.

You guys never considered playing with a rule of 1? if one person is missing they just follow the rest of the group around like a zombie?

I dunno. Things never feel the same like that to me. We've been lucky enough that it's only ever a week downtime when someone's missing... we haven't really had multiple weeks of problems to consider.

Also, we could talk about homebrew classes or just play Castle Crashers tonight.

I would love to do either or both of those things. I've already started to draw up a Rage Mage

WotC should just hurry up and release the Psionics rules for 5e.

Mearls or one of the other high devs recently tweeted some question about whether people wanted Psionics to be more mechanics or more flavor or something to that regard, so it's on the radar.

We'll probably start tonight talking about homebrew classes/archetypes (mostly archetypes), so check these out if you want to talk about some! http://middlefingerofvecna.blogspot.com/

Edit - Starting with Class Pack 1 (right sidebar) might be a good idea.

Alternatively, bring your own ideas for homebrew archetypes!

Then probably some Castle Crashers!
