You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

holy cow my nephew brought the cutest nerd girl to gaming last night. Total gamer geek from her "the sun is trying to kill me" t to her engineer boots. Great gamer, great roleplayer, too. I hope we see more of her.

Okay, so how much is a GM license under this package?

Hmm, that's where it gets screwy, it's a progressive discount that they give based on the number of copies you are buying.

Here's the spiel from their site if anyone wants to work it out:

Get a copy of Fantasy Grounds for your entire gaming group and take advantage of our bundle discount pricing! For each additional license you purchase, you get a cumulative 15% discount per item (up to a maximum discount of 60% per lite license and 45% per full license). The discount is automatically calculated when you add products to the basket. (Discount applies to up to 10 licenses, additional licenses available at standard pricing)

I'll chip in for a license on the off chance I might be able to join you guys some time.

edit: this is contingent on the spare hard drive you said you might have for me, ND. My poor little home computer doesn't have any free memory. Maybe I should start playing Baldur's Gate as this is what's taking up most of it.

Shoot, I just sent the order in Laga. I'll check and see if I can add a license to it when they email me back. The automated system didn't send me the codes.

Gotcha. Yeah, I've got drives floating around here, we just need to find a day to take care of it.

eh, don't worry about it. Chances were good I'd never be able to hook up with you guys what with the shared computer and weird schedule and all.

Having finished my deadline I'm back in Liberty City... and just saw something new; after jacking a car - the usual throw the driver out of the vehicle at a red light - the car behind me decided to go all vigilante and started chasing me & ramming me. Quel surprise. I ended up shooting the bugger.

I'm back in Liberty City...

Speaking of, Pete. Is Liberty City still pretty much the same, as far as general layout goes? I'm presuming there has to be some road changes, new construction and whatnot, but the basic layout is still there, yes?
