What do i need to play? any programs i need to download beforehand?

Nope. Roll20.net is free and just need to make an account on that. We usually use G+ Hangouts for the video chat as it tends to be a bit more reliable (and, if you want, you can launch Roll20 as an app on the chat). Both free, just need to sign up.

Hi guys. My 13 yr old started playing D&D Encounters with me when she was 10. Now she wants to learn Arcanis. Would it be ok with you guys if she observed?
I'm not asking anyone to censor anything. Lothair is certainly not going to stop being the self centered, Jingoistic, skirt chasing jerk he has always been. As long as that skirt is not attached to a pale black haired beauty.

I have no issue.

That's fine by me and I don't see Nicole having issues either.

Finally finalized my guy; Milandesian Thug/Grand Master.

we'll see how it goes 2 days from now

Well my first impression from that description was Andre the Giant in the Princess Bride serving as "The Brute Squad". If I'm anywhere close with that guess you'll do fine.

think more inigo with a heavier weapon

All,

Nicole will not be able to play tomorrow night, as she's not feeling well. Sorry for the late notice. I hope that if there's someone interested in taking her slot they'll have time to notice and join.

I will still be playing as planned.

If nobody else can play, my fiancee Amanda will subject you all to her gnome.

Take that as a promise or a threat, whichever you prefer
