Since, as explained in the forums, I've found a fix to the DMFI UI problem, the registration page for the October 21 session is now up. Please sign up if you can make it, or post a message in the Session Availability forum if you can't. The sooner the better, but in any event no later than 7 hours before game time, please. Regarding the DMFI fix, it is something all of you will eventually need to apply locally. I've posted instructions here. You may want to wait a few days before applying it, in case an official fix is released. If no official fix comes, then later this week I'll post those same instructions in the DMFI thread in the forums, and ask you all to apply the fix.
We have three votes to play Sunday now, so assume that we are playing, and sign up if you are available. However, if it turns out that a few of you report in soon that you can't get your hands on MotB before Sunday, then we might end up still postponing if we don't have enough players. Also, please check here leading up the game, as I will anounce what patch version we will be using. Right now, there are three different versions of patch 1.10, so that could be a bit confusing.
A follow-up to the news item just below this one: I popped over into the DMFI guild forums, and learned that the UI issue mentioned below is in fact something broken by MotB. There were no suggestions there for a fix, just word that it will be looked at (possibly after the first post-release patch, which should be very soon).
So, I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but we will need to postpone the session today. As I mentioned below, not only is DMFI almost essential for any session, but there is an encounter that you will probably get to this session (or possibly early next) for which I absolutely need DMFI. I can't say more without giving things away. After reading the great roleplay in the forums this week, I was really looking forward to it, too. But, this is the sort of issue that I feared earlier in the week. I guess this is the price we pay for being "early adopters" in a sense. Keep an eye out here for any word on getting this fixed.
On Monday, I posted an article and a poll asking whether everyone wanted to play on Sunday, or take this week off to play MotB and let the inevitable bugs get worked out. We've had two responses so far (1 to play, 1 to wait). Half the group has not signed on to the site since Monday, so I'm concerned that several of you might not be aware that you will need MotB for Sunday (and therefore might not be ready). Based on that, and seeing some of the bugs reported (e.g. someone reported that the DM avatar now has a glowing halo, even when invisible, although this is unconfirmed), I'm leaning towards not playing, but sound off by 1:00 p.m. Eastern today if you have an opinion. I will announce this afternoon whether or not we are playing.
