Go ahead and dot in here and we'll get started tomorrow.
Oi...
Yowsa
First post is up!
Ogamisan offers some great street food, keeping an ear out for injustice.
That's fine =)
Kevin is ready!
feel free to post!
It made me chuckle =)
As long as it's easy to read, I'm fine with people rolling however they want.
I know that, but it can also be applied to foreigners in general, so that's what I went with.
Good deal. Thanks for letting us know.
Okay, so here's a real quick primer on how initiative works in Feng Shui (you can find this on pages 100 - 102):
At the beginning of a combat round, everyone rolls initiative. We then look at all initiatives to see where the shot clock starts at, based on the highest initiative. in a physical group, the GM would start by calling the highest initiative (for example, 14) and then working his way down to 0. When a player's initiative is reached, they would take their action, subtract the shot cost for that action from their initiative (in most cases, you're looking at a shot cost of 3) and then if the number was still positive, act again on that shot.
As an example, let's say we have 2 people punching each other: A and B.
A rolls a 15 for initiative, and B rolls a 12.
The Shot clock would then start at 15. A would punch B and hit or miss would subtract the shot cost of his punch (3) from his initiative and act again on that shot.
If someone is acting on shot 2 or 1, they can still take a 3 shot action without penalty or carrying over to the next round.
Since we're doing this via PbP, I'm going to be clumping up initiatives within the standard shot group, so I'll post initiative for 12-10, then 9-7, and so on. If you initiative is in that range, post your action and shot cost and I'll subtract your shot cost and post your new initiative.
If you have questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
Ya, no worries.
Guys, I didn't mean to ghost. The past couple of weeks have been real humdingers, and I just don't have the mental bandwidth to pick up a new system. I'm going to have to withdraw.
That puts us down to three people. Did we want to keep going? I'll leave it up to you folks.
Uncertain. If the others are wavering then let's wrap it up. If they're definitely committed then sure.
I'm still feeling the rules out.
Let's do this: I'll give it til Sunday for people to post either way. If everyone posts before then we'll go from there, but if no one else posts before Sunday, I think that's a good sign to call it.
I'm not sure. On one hand, I don't know how work's gonna be now that we're slowly unwrapping after the quarantine. On the other, the game is super cool and a Vrog is a more than decent GM.
All in all, I have found that usually games with a srd or similar page are way easier for me to keep up with.
TL;DR: up to you, guys, but if we keep it alive, don't expect a daily post from me right now.
I'm good with either result at this point. I'm happy to continue, but understand if attrition eats another one.
Why don't we go ahead and call it. As much as I love Feng Shui, I don't think it's necessarily all that great for PBP.
Thanks for playing folks, and I'm going to deactivate the game. Cya on the boards!
