In my experience, and given that the difficulty pool and the skill pool are completely different and separate, it makes no difference to the outcome if, not knowing the difficulty, a player rolls his skill pool and the difficulty pool is rolled afterwards, either by himself or by the GM. That might speed things up a bit, I guess.

I mean, it sort of makes a difference because the difficulty pool can cancel out successes and advantages for what the player rolls. If they roll x successes and x advantages, they may include what they do with those results, which involves a retcon when the GM posts. Does that make sense?
You're right, though at least you'd have an idea of the outcome when you post, if not the player (and he as well if he scores 0 successes with his pool). But yes, I get it.
Sorry gang, I've caught some kind of flu bug, thanks to the joy of New England winters. I'll try to get a post up tomorrow.
Sorry for the delay,... haven't had much time over the last couple of days.
Hey folks!
I just wanted to give you all a heads up that my girlfriend will be arriving this Monday to visit me and will be here for about two weeks. My posting will be pretty infrequent but I'll do my best. Feel free to bot me if necessary.
Yoricks, aka Rae'dalla Twi'lek mechanic: glad to see you started another EoE game! Looks like you had a great number of people into it as well.
I didn't see if you caught something for a dice convention, but we are using Orokos in a game I am playing in right now.
A sample of what it looks like.
Going to head over to the Gameplay and start reading!
Yep, I've used Orokos in the past and is pretty useful. Yorick expressed an interest in using the messageboard's tools, though, so I restrained from commenting. But if you're willing to try, Yorick, Orokos is quite nice.

OGGM! I miss your game a lot, it's a big reason why I started this one. Pop in any time!
With dice stuff, I'm still leaning towards just using the number conversion on here. I try not to rely on other sites since I do a lot of posting from work and never know what the firewall is going to decide to blacklist.
I'm glad you liked it! It was a fun game and group, I wish that things didn't go as they did and I could have continued. At least we got to an ending point that made sense (sort of).
I'm going to dot in so I can keep up if you don't mind.
I can totally agree with staying with the dice as you have them if other sites can be sketchy. Nothing is more frustrating (and more work) than trying to make another site work when the firewall says No!

Absolutely! And of course give me a shout if you decide to run another one.
Sorry for the delay everyone. - I've been busy at work catching lizards throughout the wilds of Tasmania (PhD work).. Things should be slowing down a bit now, although I've got some visitors coming in from interstate next week so posting will be a bit tricky. Feel free to DMPC if I take tooo long between posts.
No worries!
I'll be back to regular posting soon, my girlfriend leaves for Texas tonight.
Hey all, I stopped receiving notifications for the games I'm in. You guys might want to check yours, as well.
Yes, that has been a problem for a bit. I wonder if they fixed it, because I'm getting notifications now.
Looks like they fixed it, and we should be back on track!
Hi guys! I will be stepping out of the game. Have fun! GM, thanks for having me and I apologize for leaving. Would you please be so kind to put me on the inactive list? Thanks!
