Glad you like the artwork style, Yovie. I do too! It really works nicely for most comics and for gaming. From what I understand, the BBRPG Rulebook (titled: The Stacked BBRPG Rulebook) will include artwork from the IMVU platform.

As for adding threads for sharing characters when this section is rebuilt to compliment Jennifer's system... absolutely!

[Tiveen]

Eliza or Ms. Jennifer? Will color coding be used with the system?

Admin Brianne Angel, we can use colored text but there is no color code for backgrounds for posting. Can this be added if system needs this?

Tiveen

[Aidenn]

Ti, you are late. Get off the computer and come to work.

I have code, Brianne, that you can use. It gives allowances for users to change background colors in a post. It is placed in the g.footer.

Jennifer, how is the roller coming? Can I be of help?

[Admin]

Tiveen and Aidenn, I saw the code posted in the Die Roller & Other Mods thread. Do we need this code implemented?

Brianne

[EJ]

Brianne? Or one of The Hours members? Does anyone have an update on the roller status? I mean... are we game on, or what?

EJ <--- impatient

[Admin]

I'm pretty certain that the Die Roller Master (AKA, Jennifer ) has the die roller working perfectly, with positive *or* negative modifiers (which was the issue)...

Hello, Official Stacked Games Die Roller!

Jennifer, would you like to post a little about the roller?

Brianne

[EJ]

Oh! Oh seriously?! Oats and bananas! Jennifer?! Oh... come on, grrl! I hear that Becky sent candy and Cris found the coffee... Jennifer? Jenn? ... Jehn? ... ... Jenni?

*weeping*

Ms. DiMarco, my publisher most geektastic, until you post about the roller, the gamers in The Hours won't start playing again. My life... my life is not complete until then.

I have this special service only available to publishers. It's called Admin Alert. It works like this: Every time I am called out and asked a question, an automatic admin crawler sends me a link to the post. Cool, huh? Don't you all wish you had this service? It's only $99.99 a month, btw. Just talk to Brianne about her PayPal account... no wait! Talk to me. Yeah. Me

Tiveen: I did consider using colored backgrounds. I think, however, I may use only colored text for the GM posts. My reasoning for this is that the more mods someone adds to their global footer the higher the risk that the codes will void each other. I don't want to risk the roller. Brianne has implemented a color text tagging on the Fan Fiction threads and I think it works very well. The stories pop out at a reader. I think GM posts will pop too.

Aidenn: I saved the background code you posted. It is a very nice piece of work. Thank you. If I change my mind about how GMs post, I will have the code needed. I may also include the code as optional for GMs who want to use it in House Rules. Thank you so much for your offer of help. If I get stuck on code again, I will come to you.

EJ (and everyone in The Hours): The new, re-coded and expanded dice roller, now called the Stacked Games Dice Roller (complete with branded interface and color) is complete and functional for all ProBoards -- which includes our beautiful Mardi Gras 3000 Forum.

The OS will be complete around the end of the month and this section will be re-organized to accommodate the OS. I feel very confident that both expert and new gamers will find the Stacked BBRPG OS rewarding and easy to learn. It was an honor to work on the system.

If everyone would just extend their patience and give me to the end of this month, I would be very appreciative.

Jennifer, this is wonderful news! Thank you so much for the hard work and many hours. Can we launch on November 7? Many of us will be away between now and then to attend gaming events. 11/7 would put us all home and recovered. I am very pleased to be beginning again!

"Edge Runners," everyone?

I will GM. Or do we want to go free-style?

Teresa

[Jennifer]

November 7 would be fine, Teresa. I'm going to make some notes about how the BBRPG section needs to be re-organized. Brianne may want ot start work on that now

[EJ]

The new section looks amazing! I can't wait until the 7th! Still the date?

[Jennifer]

We're looking at the 14th now, actually. Thank you for asking, EJ

Update on the MG3K BBRPG:

All right, everyone Here goes:

(This information has been moved to the Official Events and Announcements thread.)

[EJ]

Jennifer, thank you for the detailed update! This is all great news.

Here's a general question: When you say that your base system can be mod'ed, do you mean that if someone were to purchase or license the base system they could design a module that could be used with any genre or universe they want? Is the base just BBRPG or RPG, too? Or? We have a lot of writers on the forum who work in their own universes as well as MG3K. That might be a very sweet idea for them -- instant RPG/BBRPG -- wow!

[Jennifer]

EJ, that's a great question. Can I please suggest (in my exhausted state) that you encourage said writers (or you yourself) to come to www.stackedgames.com and register as members of the forum there. I'd be more than willing to "talk shop" about operating systems there. Just launched... um... two sleepless days and thirty seconds ago
