Does each player have to have her own computer or could more than one player share a terminal?
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

omnis we've been playing in Long Beach, are you ever free Monday nights?Often. Not always. But yes.
We really want to use the customizing features to use it on a Serenity campaign that Joe was running before he moved away from Los AngelesYes! Jiro was just coming to life... or rather I was just learning what to do. And well, Joe rocks the DMZ as GM!
Let me know how much to chip in. Also, if I'm playing froom work, would I need a separate license for work computer? Or would one license work for the two machines as long as only one is in use? Or will we figure that one out at a later date.
(I'm not here either. I'm in tech. They are playing disco. Ugg. Me no like disco... and now it's earwormed)

I think you have to have your own computer. At least, I haven't tried to have more than one character logged in per computer, and I can't think of any obvious way to do it.
We're still on a break from The Drow Wars. Which we'll be playing until we die of old age, I think....but it's awesome. In any case, must finish this Iraq one first. Must get annoying Republican Space Ranger character killed.

We really want to use the customizing features to use it on a Serenity campaign that Joe was running before he moved away from Los Angeles. I'd also like to see a game of Shadowrun get going.
Yeah, I've got ideas for both the next "season" of Firefly: Valley Girl and Shadowrun.
Though I should probably pick up a couple of the new Shadowrun source books. Like, you know...magic or something.
eta: I would also not mind PLAYING Shadowrun, rather than GMing. I miss PLAYING.
