So, I downloaded the vassal core thingy, and then just the stuff from the dropbox link from that one forum post. I have the starmap open in single player? (i think), and am confused on what I can actually do. All the card text and other stuff is blank, and the dice just opens a separate window with a picture of dice and no interface.

trying to quickly skim some guides has me more confused, because they mention stuff that I don't see/understand

So tell me: How do I vassal?

All the cards will be blank, you will have to know what they do or have the cards in front of you.

As far as interacting with things, it is mostly through right clicks. So for the dice, you move your cursor over the color dice you want to roll, right click, it will give you options (such as roll 1, roll 2, etc). Once you roll, you can then right click on the rolls and you will be able to do different things, such as delete (spend) a die and change the face of a die (such as using the effect of screed or h9)

right, I see ogb is helping me through this.

we are starting our vassal game if you want to watch

gg, thanks for everyone who showed up, next time maybe we will have Teamspeak where you guys can hear us talking and understand what is happening.

I was mostly tabbed out anyways.
