I don't think it's nearly as hard as you think it is, but it's your game so we'll do it your way.
Just let us know who's up then.

There's an initiative order in his gameplay post, and my post referenced it, you're up! :)

Yeah but I think the GM wants to make sure nothing strange happens (he mentioned AoO, etc.) so I'll wait for his 'go ahead'.
No worries! I only posted what I do because you seemed interested in some alterbate ways of keeping up a pace. I have no issue posting in order. That said, I do have limited posting times on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays so well see how that works for me x.x
I'm going to go ahead and post something. Won't be really long but detailed enough to get the ball rolling.
For things like AoO i will halt you, if I don't, just go ahead following the initiative order ;)
I've slept on the problem of the combat system and this is my conclusion: for this combat and until I won't state otherwise we'll follow the traditional combat method. As you proceed, I will be thinking about alternate systems that could improve our experience and allow the game to flow faster. If I choose an alternate method, I will publish a GoogleDoc to describe how the system I've chosen works: I'm beginning to understand how difficult is to manage a combat in PbP and I'm getting my mind at work to find the best solution possibile, but since it's an important matter I will make sure that if a choose an alternative system, everyone has the right tools to understand it.

OK. look around to see what works best for you and let us know.
Alexite, next time remember to move your own token on the map after posting.
Guys can you please add the traditional line of information (AC, saves, etc.) under your nickname? It would spare me a lot of time. Thank you.
Jesari is your turn now.

Sorry, GM! I thought I had done this but I hadn't saved it I guess.
Updated though!
Hakeem both you and Alexite have 10 hp out of 11 and 12 hp out of 13 respectively (this damage was dealt by the sea scorpions).

Got it!
After 24 hours from the last turn are passed, I will bot any character that hasn't posted yet.
In regards to what my character said...you may now begin the Red Sonja and chainmail bikini jokes now. ;P
And update on my dog, she's doing much better now. A little bit swollen but she's doing a whole lot better.
Sorry for the slight delay, I had a very busy day. I'm going to post in the next hours ;)
The plot thickens!
Me and my lady have a doctor's appt in the next hour or so, so I should be able to post with Hakeem this evening. ( Probably around 5-7, eastern time)
I'm really appreciating the quality of your posts! Keep up the good work!
Sizara and Jesari can you please add the traditional line of information (AC, saves, etc.) under your nickname? If you don't know how to do it I'd be glad to help you out.

Miscalculation there, yesterday kicked my butt, I'm sorry folks. Working on a response in character now though.
There we go! I also added skills to make it much easier as well.

Yeah, I don't know how. Sorry, still pretty new around here.
No problem Jesari. So, you need to copy one of the stat lines of your companion (choose the one you like the most). Then edit it according to your stats and put it in your profile, in the race or class entry. You can use the entry you didn't use for adding a spoiler in which you can list your daily spells (i.e. 1st level: 4/4) or special abilities that have a limited amount of use per day (such as you r serpent's fang ability). This way you can track your spells and abilities and allow me to speed up things when rolling for you or comparing an enemy's attack to your defense. If I haven't been clear enough just let me know ;)
Hey everyone. Try always to post at least once every 24 hours please. This was in the recruitment requirements, so I suppose everyone can do it. I don't want this chapter to last for years, so a little more frequency in posting would be much appreciated :)
Hopefully my late night posting isn't too much of a hassle! It's just the best time for me to get my posts out :) Nothing like getting the creative juices going at... 3:30 in the morning good god I need to go to bed. >.>;;
It's not a problem at all, since your nights are my mornings (time zone). The important thing is to post every 24 hours from your the previous post, and you've always done it.
I usually work at night but I do try to post as often as I can. Just been busy with work lately.
Sorry for the silence guys, Yesterday was my lady's due date. No kid yet, but we spent some time at the hospital this morning. Real life's likely gonna keep me from being super diligent for the next week or so. Bot my character as necessary, and I'll try to get a post up today .
Sorry for the inconvenience GM Giuseppe. I'm super grateful you chose Hakeem to play in your Serpent Skull, and I think this will turn out to be a solid game ( has been thus far). But I just want to make it clear that this is not me abandoning the game, just a fair warning. If it becomes a drag on the game, I'll happily bow out.
But thanks again!

Ugh. I need to fix my sleep lol!
Sorry about not posting for the last few days. I just got through moving and haven't had much time to do anything. I'll try to get caught up tonight or in the morning.
Hey, good job on the sounds you put into your maps!
Can you put a link for the Roll20 website like the ink to the campaign's gallery or are those links individualized?
Game on!
Unfortunately I can't, as that would let anyone join our campaign ;) But thanks for the compliment.
Oh and good job with your quick stats, Jesari!
Campaign's gallery updated. Go check it out after reading my post in the gameplay thread please ;)
If you make a handout in Roll20 that we can edit, it'll keep loot and maps in the same place without needing to worry about Google Docs permissions.
If that isn't your cup of tea, I'd be glad to start up a loot document myself in my drive.
Good idea Kali'da. I created the handout and gave you permission to edit it. It should work fine. I'm planning to create a XP tracking sheet as an handout too.
Perfect. Loot sheet is updated.
{Edit} I also just noticed I don't have control over Kali'da's token on this map :P
Fixed!
*Using laptop to get on Roll20.*
O.o
Oh wow! Cool sound effects! Also I forgot to move my character's token over to the wardrobe yesterday. Hope that was okay that I moved her today. Didn't realize you could add sound effects to the maps!
We're in combat now. Also, I've uptated our map. Game on!

Alright folks. I recently had the chance to speak to some of the best GMs on these boards in terms of PbP experience, and I came up with something that I would like to share with you. There's a shared convinction among those who managed to lead an AP to his very ending that to reach that goal in a resonable amount of time (we're speaking of around 2 years), every player (and the GM, of course) need to post at least 2-3 times per day. Now, I agree with this thesis, and I was starting to think about the future of our campaign.
I believe I have a strong group of players, and I'm really enjoying playing with you, so I'm asking you: would you like to play this AP until its end or are you satisfied with only playing the first module? Depending on your answer, I've got to say this: if we want to play this AP to the end, we need to increase our posting rate, and I'm here exactly for checking if you were willing to accept to post at least 3 times/day, and even more often in most situations. Otherwise, we must accept that we could only play through the first module, since it will take around a year to complete it. Just let me know what your wills are.
I'd like to finish as much as we possibly can but I'm not sure if I could do 3 times a day every day. I could probably pull it off most days if I really put my mind to it but I'm also afraid it'd start to feel like work instead of a hobby. Really don't want to get in a situation where I feel like I have to post something. I also go back home to visit family and friends every second or third weekend and I'm stuck with just my phone for internet. Definitely couldn't do three a day on those days.

I would echo Jesari's POV.
I also don't want this game to feel like a chore. I would also caution about campaigns where players post 3 times per day. Most of those posts are 'one liners' instead of a well thought out and descriptive post.
I don't want to participate in a game where quality was brushed aside for the sake of quantity, but I understand if other feel differently.
There are many other ways to speed up the game without requiring that players post 3 times per day.
I'm fine with good roleplaying and am not so concerned with finishing books.
Just my opinion.
The choice will be only yours :) I'm fine with both solutions. Just want to manage your expectations and be realistic about what we will be able to play.
Our little dude was born Sunday and he's been a wonderful little handful, but I think I'll have a good amount of time to post while he feeds.
I'll spend this time catching up, and then I'll likely post in the next few hours. Sleep is happening a little more sporadically now, so my post times might be too! ( as in, I'll probably post after midnight some days, which is weird for me)
Thanks for the understanding!
I'd love for the game to continue as long as we're all having a good time, GM included.
I'm not certain I could do 3 a day everyday, but honestly I should be able to check in every couple of hours now, so I'll do my best to at least try to keep my post rate high.
I'm with the others on this as well. I've been in too many adventures did before reaching the end so I hope we can reach the very end of the campaign. I already have one campaign I'm in where two players quit because there wasn't enough fighting. I'm actually enjoying this adventure and you've done an excellent job in making it entertaining and exciting.
And I don't mind posting multiple times. Next week I'm on vacation so that'll give me a chance to post more often.
Congrats Hakeem!
Please, before posting notice that I left your PC behind to justify his absence. You can begin to post again when (if) the others manage to get away from the wreck. Hope this doesn't bother you, but I chose to leave Hakeem instead of forcing you to post frequently :)
Congratulations Hakeem!
@GM I'm sorry about the mixup with the rolls.
Congrats Hakeem!

No worries, We had a few posts in my absence so it gives me plenty of time to read over them thoroughly.
Did anyone get a chance to create that google doc of found items?
If not, I can do that while Hakeem waits to post!

>>>>>> Here's a doc with those items, let me know if I missed anything!<<<<<
There's actually a loot handout in Roll20 now for loot :) Keeps everything in one place as much as possible!
Hey everyone, I would like to know your time zone please.
