Essentially, we can let our characters deal with the passing time while we click fast forward :P
I don't quite understand your statement. Are you talking about something specific?
talking about how many days it takes if we pack food vs hunt for it. if we're not on a schedule in-game then the only difference is "it takes X days instead of X"
That is from a player's point of view not a character's I have been a DM/GM as well as a player in games where time was an important factor. It isn't in every case but I find it easier to simply try and play my character's with their motivations in mind and decide actions from that stand point.
That's not always easy to gauge but in this case I think it is pretty straight forward. Ragnor would be worried about taking time to hunt and forage because the longer it takes the more likely something horrible may happen to the woman.
Without that motivation he wouldn't really care the number of days it took to catch up with the bandits as long as we where making our best effort.
However if we really where tracking a dangerous group on the run in this world a skilled tracker would likely use every trick they had to make up time. Using prepacked meals to eat on the move and minimize the need for a fire would likely be one of them. Just a little food for thought :)
and that's our "in-game schedule". yes we should hurry, but for future reference if we're just traveling we can probably afford to hunt some
I would certainly agree.
Just a quick update, I have not forgotten you but over Easter holidays my posting is limited. I hope to post today back I make no promises.
It is safe to assume this game is on hold until Monday. I promise to post then to get it going once more.
sounds good DM
Right, posting today to get the game off and running :)
Woot, lets get this party started!
are you waiting on something from us DM?
Right well I think we need to call this. I was worried when we had to wait so long to begin, and I think this shows the DMs not committed enough to make it work. Best of luck everyone I hope we get a chance to play together soon :)
im going to PM him
I hope that what ever happened that it wasn't serious Gethsemane. However I have to agree with Eladora at this point having waited a couple of weeks and not seeing any movement its pretty much a done deal. Hope to see every one around on the boards.
Yup, you guys looked pretty awesome. Sorry we didn't get a chance to do more together, and good luck to Gethesmane whatever happened.
