I have 2 decks built

The rookery seems to be having connectivity issues.  I'm going to call it quits for tonight.

The Rookery is running on one of my Macbook Air machines with Windows 7 Boot-Camped. I've resolved the power setting issues and it's been up quite regularly. I'm hostage to my ISP (Comcast), which has been problematic at times.

The Rookery is actually a .NET app, the exact same server code I wrote for Raven Evolved before GOT became an LCG.

I'm more than willing to give The Rookery to anyone who wants it. It's a single EXE, very small, and runs on Windows machines running .NET 4. 

With my latest release of Raven Evolved for iPad (yesterday), searching for cards is much easier in the Deck Builder. I'm building a few decks outside the Core ones and I look forward to seeing some of you in The Rookery soon.

Tam! Glad to hear everything is going well. Is there anyway I could get the windows version of this? Or are you only doing beta for ipad version?

The old Windows version actually still works through the same Rookery. It even works to play games between Windows 7 and iPad. But…

I threw away a lot of code with the iPad version, so I need to strip out a lot of that and sync the in-game commands that go between Windows and iPad. I also need to deal with card screen placement when you move cards around so it correctly syncs between the two systems. That'll take a bit of work. I do plan to do it, though, at some point.

awesome. So if I still have the old raven I should be able to update the images and have at least a glitchy game going on? what if two computers were running the old raven? would that work better?

The Card IDs have changed in the database as well as a more stream-lined version of the database. It also, of course, includes all Classic sets and all the LCG sets. Of course the release of this to the wider community is still under review by FFG. Up to now I've only discussed the iPad version, but I'm sure their ruling will also apply to the PC version if I do indeed complete that.

If you have an old install of Raven, you could actually join the iPad Rookery we're using, but if you play cards on the screen, they won't show up as the correct cards on the iPad side, and moving them around won't work, either. You would need the full LCG card images as well as the updated database, which I don't have for the PC version yet. Well, I do, actually, since I tested it one time and actually played a card from my Windows 7 machine and watched it slide out on my iPad, but it just isn't ready yet.

You could, of course, run the version you have on your PC twice and join it up to a Rookery of your own, or from 2 PCs. You could even join both PCs to the iPad Rookery and play games between those two PCs with the Classic card sets.

Man, that was as twisted as a Martin plot-line.

Is the rookery down?

this is soooo sweet makes me want an ipad sooo bad or a way to play it on the pc, i was just thinking today how awesome this would be if it was digital….. also i dont know if you want but you could possibly post on kickstarter and see if you can get funded so you could but other tablets/servers or w.e else to get started and spread the kickstarter aroud to every one and i bet most ppl would love to play this online just like so many people play magic online

everyone already does play online with OCTGN. This is just different because it would be the first iOS option.

yea i found that after i had made that post… is there a spot on the forum with ppls names?? would love to play with someone some time also have a cpl buddies who might be gettin on it to play also

Are there any availabilities left for testers? I dont go to the forums often, and just noticed this now.

I have room for 32 more testers before hitting my limit of 100.  Join from the link on the first post of this thread. 

What time are people usually on the Rookery?  Every time I connect nobody else is on.

I have found people in there sometimes, but it seems most Beta testers are using the Deck Builder and not playing games. 

I'm usually on around Noon to 1pm Weekdays San Francisco California time.
