IRC(Edit)

If you don't have an IRC program, click this link. When the page has loaded, enter a nickname and click *Connect*. Once you're connected, to join the IC channel, type "*/join #Dune_IC*" and press *ENTER*. There will be tabs at the top of the browser window to switch between the IC & OOC channels.

If you do have an IRC program, here are the details:

Server: phillipsuk.org

Port: 6667

Channel: #Dune_OOC and #Dune_IC

Nicks(Edit)

Nicks cannot be longer than 30 characters.

We appear to have settled on the following style:

Sietch_Name|Common_Name|OOC_Name

  • Hadiya|Zahra|Jen
  • Faris|Raghba|Dave3
  • Shihab|Mash-Al|Dan
  • Addawl|Mattis|DaveB

For the naib and reverend mother, I'll put the title first:

  • Naib|Hayawiyya|Rashad
  • Reverend_Mother|Samar|Marha

Internal Monologue(Edit)

The books are full of it! If you wish to let people know what you're thinking, use three dots on either side of the text, eg:

... Hmm, I think he's lying. Wonder why? ...

Dice Bot(Edit)

I've written a bot to roll dice for us. When you use it to roll dice, it will print the result in the OOC channel. To use it, send it a private message (double-click on it's name in the OOC channel to open a private message window). If you mention it's name in the OOC channel, it will open a private message window.

To make a success roll, type your basic skill level, followed by the modifier if there is one. eg:

12-4

12

To make a damage roll:, type the damage roll, as given on your character sheet. eg:

1d

1d+2

Either type of roll can be followed by a comment in brackets which will be included in the result, eg:

10 (firing at Harkonnen with laser rifle)

If you type something that it doesn't recognise as a success or damage roll, it will display help text in the private message window.
