Any chance there will be Descent at your LAN?

X2!

Sorry, don't get me wrong.
I like that you're having a LAN and all, but how does this LAN fit in with Descent Multiplayer?

whoa!
I wasn't aware there was a clan for us rogue valley gamers.

If Descent was listed as one of the games I would be there in a hot minute! But since the only thing I play from that list is Texas hold-em I will most likely pass on this one.

I might mosey on down and check out the action just for grins tho!

I understand that you guys only play Descent, but it was worth a post!

I do know that if you guys come and start playing descent, others will start playing with you. Is the game cheap or free online since its an older game?

To tell ya the truth I was very excited to see other gamers from the medford / grants pass area and had to say something! We started a gaming group quite a few years ago here in the rogue valley. We generally play whats listed, but again we are open to new and old games as well.

Did I forget to mention there will be console gaming there too? Maybe some of you play consoles? You bring your own and just have fun! The first event we had I brought my nes and there ended up being a contest of high score on.. cenipede... or however you spell it At our LAN you never know.. on the computer side someone brought worms mayham and we all got that game quick and played it with the person who brought it! Now that was FUN!

Again, I'm just excited to know there are gamers out there in my area! I wish you guys would reconsider! I know if you play it so will we!

Is it Descent, Descent II or Descent 3 you guys play?

Anyway, take care guys and have fun!

[RG]Rogue wrote:Is it Descent, Descent II or Descent 3 you guys play?

All three for me.

Same here, though mostly D3.

A funny thing occured to me today...

A while back, I picked up Baldur's Gate 2, having played the original I was very excited! After installing the game loaded its preview game.. which was.. Descent 3~ I just remembered that after talking with you guys! Man, memories.. lol.

I chatted with another RG member and we are looking into finding D3, being an older game we shouldn't have too much trouble. If we find it and can make it available at the LAN, would you guys sign up and join us?

We'd love to meet you guys! Any ideas?

If D3 is beeing played, the Medford gang shows up, and I can shuffle some appointments around I'm interested. Could bring a D3 server too.

If D3 is played I will most definately be there!

I only play GW and D3 and I don't own a console at all. I would be interested in the Texas hold-em tourny too!

D3 is extremely cheap to buy online. Also we might be able to hook up people for free by using the no cd crack on the same install disks.

Waddya think Gren? is that a doable deal?

I am itching to get some good old fasioned D3 lanning in!

GW as in Guild Wars???

yep

I'm all excited now!! But before I go on and on about GW I need to let you guys now something!

-------------

OK, there will be people at the LAN that have or can get D3. This I can assure you. If you guys could bring the D3 server that would be great. How does that sound??

--------------

GW. Polaris and I have all 4 expansions. There are a couple others who only have the first one, prophocies. We have a small guild, but no guild hall. Most of our members havent played in a long time. Do you play with a guild?

Characters you can add to your friends list (if you want to) are Celina Foehammer (me), Neomi Northstar (Polaris). Those 2 characters are 20lvl proph characters. They just made accension last weekend at PDXLan X. They can both visit the other expansions and have heroes, so no henchmen are needed!

Most of my characters are factions and Nightfall characters. I havent picked up the latest expansion as I've been real busy showing my animals this summer.
I am currently in a guild called IKQs, but I'm not real active because of show season.
You probably wont see much of me until winter when the show season ends.

Go ahead and add the character Ritual misery to your friends list tho, I love to help out when I'm playing!

I've got A Ranger, Nuker, Monk, MM, Rit and a Dervish. All lvl 20 and pretty good characters

I'll probably make it to the Lan if there is a good chance D3 is gonna be played.
I'll also check with the other RV Descenters. I'm pretty sure they'll be up for some LAN action.
Maybe Grendel can stir up some of the Northern oregon peeps and get them to come. IMHO Descent is the ultimate LAN game!

Sounds good, if we see ya online we'll give ya a whisper.

D3 will be played, I made a post about D3 and you guys in our forums already, and will chat with some of the people I know! If you guys could get a group that'd be awesome!

There will be quite a few people from Portland and Washington driving down, so if you guys need to set up car pools and what not just post in our forums! I'm sure that there'd be room. Deathe (kyle) usually brings around 10 people or so and I know that there's another group from Eugene coming but not sure about numbers with them yet... just thought I'd let you guys know!

what's RG?

RG stands for RogueGamers. We are a group of gamers started here in the Rogue Valley! Our philosophy is \"it's all about having fun!\" We decided as a group to start up LAN parties and that's how [RG]Lan came to be. We've had 4 so far, all been fun and each one with sponsors! We're just a bunch of people who like to get together and play games.

FYI, if Gren doesn't make it with his server:

A dedicated D3 server is very easy to set up, and even a Pentium III can run multiple games at once with ease. I won't be there (spent enough money getting to two small LANs already this year), but I would be willing to volunteer some time remotely setting up a D3 dedi server if needed.

That will be nice..

maybe Gren can let us know if he does plan on coming and bringing his server?

I can definately make that, and I can bring a server.
One thing though, You better be ready if you're letting me into your lan because I am a known maniac

Oh yeah -

P.S.

No more pussyfooting around and deciding IF there will be descent... THERE WILL BE DESCENT IN THE ROGUE VALLEY! DESCENT INFILTRATORS: PREPARE YOUR VARIOUS INPUT DEVICES!!!

o_0 uh.. hehe.. we are the mediocure of evil! muahhh ahhh ahhh

kk - so you're coming and there'll be Descent 3 there! Awesome!

Looking forward to playing with you guys..

You'll have to be patient and teach me how to play, I haven't gotten past the tutorial.. probably cause I'm used to mouse/keyboard combination and couldn't get the controls the way I wanted them! LOL

Oh and get yourselves signed up on the site and registered so we know how many of you guys there'll be and chat up descent so we can all practice! And so we can all chat too!

I Talked with Rover and Klasher. They will be there also!

Ifany of the RG clan has IRC access we have a chat channel on the gamesurge server channel is #Descent3.

Jump on in and say hello!

I'll be signing up for the lan shortly.

If it weren't for the fact that I don't get home until 6pm, I'd be interested... if there were D3 offered. My last LAN party had a dismal turnout(# of physical bodies), but had good time. Psionik, you're over by Rosevelt(sp?) High in PDX, yes? Peharps we can rig a carpool or something?. Let me check w/my work's time off hours, I might be able to get my boss to let me use some sick time hours in place of my vacation, which I need to save up on for another time.

Edit: Hatt, it would cool to cross paths w/you Rover and Klash...

Fus

Hope you can make it Fus!
It would indeed be cool to meet up with you again!
-Hat

Count me in, I got the time off. (10/19-21) Need transport to and from tho. Dad says there is a commuter flight From PDX to medford, don't know for certain.

Edit: registered

Sorry, No Gonzo at the LAN Fus. He is smack dab in the middle of getting a new job going for his company. No time for Lanning.


WOOT!
almost LAN time!!!!

Got my new LAN comp up & running !

Hey Guys..

It was excellent meeting all of you who came!

A special thanks to Grendel and Fusion, without them I would have been playing with the keyboard instead of a joystick and adapter! That rocked even though I was bad and couldnt last 10 minutes without being virtigo!

I have a request for pictures any of you guys took at the LAN! Please send them via email to delanie@rglan.com! That's me! I'll be posting more once we have a link up for [RG]Lan 5 gallery!

Thanks for showing up! It was a blast!

PS. The name Gonzo frightened me because i happen to know a Gonzo. What would his name happen to be? Not Mike Gonzoles?

Was that one sweet weekend or what?

It was indeed a pleasure meeting y'all. I enjoyed every minute of the LAN!

For those of you west coasters (and those hardcore LAN attendees)you missed a heck of a good time at a nicely put together LAN. The sponsors sent some very sweet swag for the contests and the drawings!! Thanks to them Noone walked away empty handed, Well if they did it was their fault! I ended up winning a sweet power supply and ended up trading it for the Antec Sonata case another guy won!
Thanks again to the [RG]folks and the sponsors!!!

For those of you sorry peeps that didn't make it, Cheer up! you will have another chance coming next June!It may even be a 21 and over LAN. Can you say Drunk tourny??!! I will most definately be practicing up on FEAR! I owe Rogue a few deaths! I think My character has developed a complex he died so many times at her hands!

I will get some pics up soon and will send my random photo's sent to you soon also!

It was great meeting up with y'all! Look forward to seeing y'all again next June!

**EDIT** Nope, not the same Gonzo. Our Gonzo is my Father. A long time Descent player.

Thanks Hattrick! I look forward to the rematch in Fear!

Also, there's a very good chance that Unreal Tournament 3 will be a big deal at the next LAN. It's not a free game unfortunately but the demo is out right now, which is free.

Wade and I will be practicing Descent as well. We were discussing getting me a usb joystick and having me set up the keys how he does it, since he and I are used to fps keyboard configurations he had it set up similar. I'll give that a try. What online servers do you guys usually connect to?

Ok, I have to ask.. Grendel where are you from? I was listening to your accent but couldn't quite figure it out

Most of us use Vortex to chat and find games. It has a very good tracker.Finding and joining and/or downlownloading games is the easiest with it in my opinion.

You can also just browse to the Descent.cx tracker and find a game, Write down the IP addy and join thru descent multi player via tcp/ip.

There is also Kquery. It requires a little set up. Luckily Suncho has a tutorialto help get it up and running.

All the above will get you to active games, But as I said earlier I prefer Vortex as it has a descent chat area so you can find peeps to play against and ask questions if you need to.

Hope to see you and wade in the games once in awhile!
