Game today... Hope they take the hook

theboynurse

So plan on running game today w/ Skirmish-VT (assuming my PC's don't kill the faceless stalker outright, he gets a chance to flee to the Mushfens, and they track him.) I am using a couple generic swamp maps polished up in skirmish and then finishing it up on the Skirmish marsh map (thanks for the inspiration BTW). Question to that end- Do I have to have a second account to run a separate client for the PC screen, or is there another way? We use one computer and have a second slave monitor we use as a digital map.

Hi, for the open beta you have to use 2 accounts if you want to connect 2 clients to the same server. In your example I'd recommend having 1 client that shows your group view on one screen and 1 client for the screen the GM uses.

We try to change that in the final version so that multiple clients can be opened through one account.

Game went well, only got a little into the skirmish map- Few thoughts
Need to be able to small scale or add swarm attributes to tokens that allow small/swarm characters to occupy the same space as other tokens.
Additionally, friendly PC should be able to pass through spaces of other friendly pcs.
loved the lighting.
Would be nice not just to be able to adjust scale of map grid, but adjust the x,y position of the grid as well.

Oh, you can pass other tokens by holding down SHIFT when moving (we definately need to work on the Skirmish! wiki ). About the swarm idea: we'd have to change the token selection method to incorporate multiple tokens occupying the same space, but it's something to keep in mind for our GUI update.

The suggestion about the x,y movement of the grid is already already on our to-do list as it has been mentioned before.

Thanks for your feedback, mate.
