What kind of features does Obsidian have?
Obsidian allows players to create accounts on the DM ‘server’-clients. Or, in otherwords, the mIRC client running the DM script has a database for players. Players log in to their account (or create new ones if the DM script is set to allow). From here, they can create a character or participate in a game. In game, players are subject to the DM’s ruling — after all, this is following in the ways of pnp RPGs. The DM can initiate combat at any time. The DM has dice functions at his/her disposal at all times, as do the players. Player dice functions report to the DM script for authenticity. In combat, initiative is automatically rolled by the script each round, and the order for combat is displayed in the combat window, along with the player’s stats and the player’s allies’ stats.
