*MEOW!*.... *BARK!*..... *HORSE NOISE*
Sorry I'm here, I have just been told in one of my other groups that I am the DM to a Star Wars Saga Edition Campaign... Evidently with that group whenever someone new joins they make them GM the third game the group plays after that person joins.
I choose Star Wars Saga Edition because I like Star Wars and wanted to use Saga Edition. I had already thought of a time period to set the campaign and I have made the first session for it (more or less I still need to make the maps but that is just the little stuff and I still have over three months to have the first three sessions done and ready to be played with more sessions getting cranked out by each week).
*MEOW!*.... *BARK!*..... *HORSE NOISE*
Alara giggles. "It's *NEIGH*, you silly horse!" ^^

Piper rolls his eyes and writes on his chalkboard. When he's done, he flips it towards Duty. It says: 'NEIGH'
Dear Random Number God,
Please stop giving Sharrd terrible rolls.
Sincerely,
Alara Dawnchaser
I may not post much on Saturday. I got a long day with a State bowling tournament in Wausau.
Okay. I'm done with bowling. I took 3rd place in my division.
Nice job!
Thank you! And it was at the State level.
I get the feeling that weekends are a slow time for Bill.
More like a weird busy time. Did a bunch of shopping (for Xmas) yesterday, roller derby at night, and my wife's birthday today.
Oh. Well, happy birthday to your wife, Bill!
So, who has an idea of how to get into the house? I could try Diplomacy again.
Happy birthday to Mrs. Dunn! :)
I'm still sneaking around in there. This might not be an issue.
I checked 'em out already. Liking the posts! :)
You gonna make some posts? It'll be fun.
Posted on Merisiel's thread. Couldn't think of something for Lem's thread yet.
Very nice. Very cute. :)
Trying an experiment. Hope it works. I've created another role play thread and stuck a link to it in the campaign's header. Let me know if that works for engaging in supplementary, not directly in the storyline, role playing.
I hope that will save you feeling you should put flex time RP in spoiler tags too.
Actually, that should work. Nice idea, Bill. So, who wants to try it out first?
I'd like to give it a shot!
Alara, Merisiel responded!
Yep, I saw. ;)
Dang creaky floors... this might not end well.
Just a quick question, Bill:
When combat breaks out, what is your ruling on critical damage?
Because I've seen them handled in different ways: one by rolling, then adding Strength to damage, then multiplying it, and the other by just rolling damage with Strength modifiers as many times as the critical multiplier.
For example:
I prefer the roll multiple times method. It generally creates a bell curve that produces a good mean and a bit less lurching between feast (rolling highest and multiplying) and famine (rolling 1 and multiplying). In effect, barring variable add-ons like sneak attack and energy weapons, a crit is very much like hitting again with one or more additional attacks. And I kind of like that approach.
As far as notation and simplicity, if you crit with the club, go ahead and plug it into the dice roller as 2d6+4 rather than 1d6+2+1d6+2.
Alright, then.
Sharrd, just what are you doing? No offense. It makes sense in some ways. But now it's starting to get silly. Again, no offense. :)
Just amusing myself in the garden. Trying to remember what it was like when I was a young teenager. Never did this with a snake but I remember a snapping turtle we found once we tried to feed frogs to. Actually if he wasn't pretty sure this was one of Walthus' snakes, he'd probably just kill it.
Oh. Okay then. Sorry about that if I somewhat called your childhood silly. I didn't mean it.
Also, my work schedule for this weekend is 9:30 am to 2 pm on Saturday and 2 pm to 8 pm on Sunday.
Requested access to google drive file.

I've got another link in the play thread in a follow-up post. Does that one work?
My first real experiments with setting up Google docs myself...
That one works.
Wow the people down stairs prepare for a fight except for the "tank" as he is trying to calm down the person who might fight us... Granted I think with that roll he fails but you never know.
Um, Piper, I think you jumped the gun.
Ash, Sharrd & William post, then Walthus, then you, Masamune and I.
Oh, whoops. My bad. Sorry about that.
Oh. Okay then. Sorry about that if I somewhat called your childhood silly. I didn't mean it.
No problem. And Bill had the snake react the same way the turtle did :)
Went and saw Hobbit II yesterday. Good movie.
Thanks. Also I want to see that movie so bad!
Also, a reminder. I work from 2 pm to 8 pm today.
Wow, that's one ugly dude!
OK, first combat over. Is the method we're using working OK for people so far? Anybody foresee any problems they might have with it? Or too early to tell yet?
How did the map look to people? As long as I have a base image, the GoogleDocs image tools were quite easy for me to use.
I think the method is working well so far, but I think it's still a little early to tell.
We've only had one battle, after all. You wouldn't get data from one source and base a hypothesis on it. We need to put it through more battles before I can make any real judgement on it.
The map, I thought, looked good. I'm using GoogleDocs for maps in my own campaign, and it's working out fine.
I thought everything was fine.
So far so good on my end.
It looked good to me. Well done.
Fine by me.
I love how the bard got a better heal check result then the designated healer.
I suppose Piper didn't fall asleep during First Aid class at the White Grotto.
Poor Jacen. I'll have to work on that.

Apparently.
