Beside the Forums where you can talk and trade with people, you can also go on the official TPPC channel. You can go on the TPPC Chatrooms at http://tppcrpg.net/chat.php (requires Java installed on your computer), or you can go on it with an IRC.

What's an IRC?

Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is a protocol for real-time Internet text messaging (chat) or synchronous conferencing. It is mainly designed for group communication in discussion forums, called channels, but also allows one-to-one communication via private message as well as chat and data transfer, including file sharing. (Wikipedia)

Java Applet

You may access the TPPC Chatrooms directly via TPPCRPG, that is, if you do not wish to use an external program.

you can use the java applet here: http://tppcrpg.net/chat.php?Rules=Read

1. As soon as you get there, READ rules first THEN click on Continue onto the Chatrooms

2. If you have a page telling you that an applet missing, go on http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp and install Java

3. Back in the chatroom, repeat the step 1.

For people who are using Firefox, if it doesn't work after you installed Java, please go unable it: 

   Firefox > Tools > Adds-On ; Click on the Plugins tab, Enable the 'Java (TM) Platform'

4. When there's a pop-up about JAVA APPLET by PHILIPPE DETOURNAY, select RUN.

5. Then there will be another pop-up asking you if you want to block it, select NO.

6. Then you will get into the server automatically, for channels, see 'Joining TPPC official channels' from the mIRC part.

mIRC

mIRC is a commercial program, it expires after 30 days of use. You can still use it but you have to wait a little bit when the program starts.

Installing mIRC
