I'm not sure where we are in the order.
I'm on 3 Hearts. Someone just let me know when my turn is.
Human Indian : Parry 7 (with shield), Toughness 6(1)
Actually, so far no one has posted in the current round. My last few posts were made in the previous round.
Keeper - I can't remember if we've discussed this before, but how do you like to handle initiative actions in PbP? Do you want us to post more-or-less in order, or maybe let all the PC's that are in-between NPC's post in any order they want (in this case, Winona, Zack, A/J, Rufus), or what?
GM
I thought I told everyone to post in any order. I put the Init up so you can see when the enemy goes, so you know who might be acting before you. This moves slow enough so I am trying to avoid waiting for people to post. Just post your actions and if needed I can rearrange them.
Flying Eagle and Winonna have not went for round 1. While flying eagle did post, that was just an opposed roll for War Band 1's actions.
Human Indian : Parry 7 (with shield), Toughness 6(1)
No, I rolled a Free Action (on Tue, Feb 7, 2023, 06:03 am) to oppose the Grapple (and lost), and then I rolled a non-Free Action (on Wed, Feb 8, 2023, 06:05 am) to break free of the Grapple, which I did.
Sorry, I have a horrible memory about details like about what order to post in. But I'm going to wait until WB1 takes their actions, since I may be affected by that...

I have rearranged my Schedule. I am going to be able to post for sure On Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Fridays nights, well in the AM EST. I will update on those days and if folks have not taken actions I'll Move forward and pass them for the time being.
Human Indian : Parry 7 (with shield), Toughness 6(1)
So, if we do make a post after you've posted, you'll ret-con us in?
GM
Yeah, I won't make you lose an action like an actual hold action by being shaken. I am just trying to speed this up a bit.
Male Human Toughness 5, Parry 5, Notice d4; Bennies 3; Wounds 0
Just confirming in my mind, its spirit and wild to recover from being shaken ?

I just want to say, that was an amazing scenario! Like I said in GamePlay, I really thought the 3 of us were all going to die. And then, stuff happened, and...it all worked out!
male Human 8th level seeker/6th level gamer /4th level bad speller
That worked out well. I am glad you enjoyed

It was good - SWADE seems to be a system where things can look really bad but as you make the bad guys Shaken and they're less able to act, the odds slowly tilt back in your favour.

Hi all - I've hurt my back so sitting and typing is not helping right now. I won't be posting for a couple of days unless it's a short post from my phone.
Sorry to hear about your back, I have been there and even small movements are a pain.
Male Human Toughness 5, Parry 5, Notice d4; Bennies 3; Wounds 0
That is the reason that I am no longer serving in the army. Back injuries can be such a pain.
Pace 6 I Parry 5 I Toughness 7 (2 Armour)
Thanks - it's definitely easing now but my job is mostly sitting at a desk, which aggravates things.

You might wanna try cold packs. I used to only use heat but they got me using cold packs in therapy and then heat later. Cold may be helpful.
Pace 6 I Parry 5 I Toughness 7 (2 Armour)
Thanks! Ice has definitely helped with the inflammation, although heat is a lot more comfortable. Either way, I'm on the mend and sitting is easier than it was :)
Also a good physio (free healthcare FTW)

Glad you are feeling better, back pain is a mother. Unrelated but
Y'all should reset Bennies and take an advance after the ruins.

My home computer died, which is why I've been out. I'm working on rigging up a replacement, I have partial functionality at the moment and should be mostly back tomorrow.
Pace 6 I Parry 5 I Toughness 7 (2 Armour)
Blech, computer problems are not fun! Best of luck rigging up the replacement.

I'll move Shooting to d8 for my advance.
Male Human Toughness 5, Parry 5, Notice d4; Bennies 3; Wounds 0
I am going to have to figure what I am going to take for an advance.
Female Human Novice | Pace 6 | Parry 5 | Toughness 7 (2) | 4/3 Bennies
Looks like I've got my temp computer working somewhat reliably.
Advance: Brave edge.
male Human 8th level seeker/6th level gamer /4th level bad speller
Sorry you are having computer issues, that is a pain.

My name is "Atlas." Of course I'm going to reference that book. ^_^
Male Human Toughness 5, Parry 5, Notice d4; Bennies 3; Wounds 0
Question, are we considered seasoned now, or still novice ?
Male Human Toughness 5, Parry 5, Notice d4; Bennies 3; Wounds 0
sorry i have not been on. dealing with a death in my family
Pace 6 I Parry 5 I Toughness 7 (2 Armour)
Condolences on your loss. Take care of yourself - RL always comes first.
male Human 8th level seeker/6th level gamer /4th level bad speller
My condolences on your lose. Take your time.
Male Human Toughness 5, Parry 5, Notice d4; Bennies 3; Wounds 0
Will be monitoring, but please don't expect any responses until after friday.
Thank you for the well wishes.
male Human 8th level seeker/6th level gamer /4th level bad speller
You take care of family stuff man, no worries.
Pace 6 I Parry 5 I Toughness 7 (2 Armour)
I'm around but waiting for anyone else who wants to chime in before I reply to Winona.
Pace 6 I Parry 5 I Toughness 7 (2 Armour)
I know Rufus is dealing with RL stuff, but is anyone else around apart from me and Winona? (and the GM, obviously)
Human Indian : Parry 7 (with shield), Toughness 6(1)
Me. I check every day, but only post when I think of something worth contributing.
Male Human Toughness 5, Parry 5, Notice d4; Bennies 3; Wounds 0
Well, I am back. But if you can give me a bit of time, I will be responding.

I'm still here but I can't get the character to talk to me. This happens sometimes but I usually can work it out.
I wouldn't be doing anything game-changing anyway so keep about it and I'll try and get the engine started.
male Human 8th level seeker/6th level gamer /4th level bad speller
@ Mal, I may have missed you trying to talk to him, sorry there.
Welcome back Rufus
Pace 6 I Parry 5 I Toughness 7 (2 Armour)
@seeker - I think Mal means he's having difficulty trying to get into his character's head and RP him.
@Mal - assuming that is what you mean, my sympathies. Sometimes it just happens, I'm afraid I don't have any advice to help here :(
Human Indian : Parry 7 (with shield), Toughness 6(1)
Seeker - have we gotten any Advances lately? I *really* need to add Survival and Riding to my skill set...
Male Human Toughness 5, Parry 5, Notice d4; Bennies 3; Wounds 0
As per my question on the 11th.

I asked this earlier, but I think it got missed in the chaos of other stuff.
Are we considered Novice, or Seasoned, or Other.
This will really impact what I was going to take for an advance.

Unless I missed something, we should still be Novice-rank characters.
Male Human Toughness 5, Parry 5, Notice d4; Bennies 3; Wounds 0
That is what I was looking for.
So my advance cannot be stats. :)
Will figure something, then update fully.
Female Human Novice | Pace 6 | Parry 5 | Toughness 7 (2) | 4/3 Bennies
The "level band" of Novice characters is 0–3 advances. Currently we have 1, I think.
Male Human Toughness 5, Parry 5, Notice d4; Bennies 3; Wounds 0
We got one earlier.
Now we got this second one.
But was not sure until I looked back.
But it does mean that I am restricted on some things.
Female Human Novice | Pace 6 | Parry 5 | Toughness 7 (2) | 4/3 Bennies
That means that I missed one somewhere. Means Winona should've already had the "Brave" edge when we hit the Fear checks at the burned-out farmhouse and would've has no reaction.
Male Human Toughness 5, Parry 5, Notice d4; Bennies 3; Wounds 0
So after much thought and internal debate, I came up with the following my my advance.
2 skills increase.
Notice to d6 (now equal to associated dice)
fighting to d6 (1 step lower than associated dice)
bennies are now fixed.
Winona, post 125 is where we got our first advance.
Now I might have missed a second one somewhere.
Female Human Novice | Pace 6 | Parry 5 | Toughness 7 (2) | 4/3 Bennies
That explains it. I wasn't in the game yet at that point, so Winona should still only have 1 advance as she wasn't around for that.
Human Indian : Parry 7 (with shield), Toughness 6(1)
I made a comment on my Paizo character sheet that we've gotten two Advances, but didn't note when they happened.
