Greetings Players!
Welcome to what hopefully will be a fun filled time.
Per suggestion and I think it was a good one we're starting with a clean board. It looks like the process for starting this has been improved so no more issues!
Expectations:
Have Fun Seriously, if your not having fun why are you playing? If for some reason you are not having fun, message me and I'll see if I can fix the situation. Most of you have my phone number.
Roleplay This is possibly an old Cam adage that follows me, this is a roleplaying game not a "roll" playing game, we do both but one helps the other. Try and describe a bit of what you are doing, this is one of the advantages of PbP -- you can internal monologue, you can describe your weapon flourishes, ect and your not slowing down the game. Talk among yourselves in character - it's fun!
Vital Statistics This is to make everyone's life a bit easier, this puts everything in your tagline to help adjudication situations where the GM rolls for the whole party. I've added a how to guide for joining on the main page.
Posting If we don't set this out this will take a really long time. I'm going to aim for non-Weekends once every 24 hours. I also know we have people with crazy work schedules. This doesn't mean I ignore you on the weekend, or it will take 24 hours per round of posting. If everyone has posted, I'll move things on.
If we need to adjust it we can.
Rolling This is an automatic dice roller (and it's not broken!)
How rolling works [ dice=Roll type]NdX+K[ /dice] "Roll type" is replaced with the roll you are making (i.e. "stealth", "attack bab+1 str +1" "damage 1d6+2") N is the number of dice and X is the type of dice (i.e. "1d20", "5d6") K is your modifiers if you have any.
Other rolls can be done by the players as you wish in the scenes, I will roll the following to set up things and only really to keep things moving.
- Initiative
- Perception (hidden)
- Saving throws
Formatting/Writing Style This helps this not be a wall of text. I've added some suggestions that are common place.
"Akk! I've been stabbed Bold text is usually speech.
There is an ooc tag specifically for ooc comments.
I wonder if there's a trap there? Italics are normally internal monologue, which can either be random thoughts, or set up for actions that you are doing.
Writing Style, there's no hard fast rules on this but to help keep everyone on the same page, 3rd Person Limited (i.e. from your character's point of view) and present tense helps a lot.
