Osric:
Ya some in-laws live in those parts, I know all about it. Do you have a tabletop group?
Yes we do if you want to call it that. I DM some of the time but am not right now. I am preparing a short term game for Bloodsworn Vale. We currently have a game with D20 Modern rules (sort of) for The Dresden Files another based on Star Gate SG1 in the 4th season and yet another set in Forgotten Realms that are all bouncing around and various weekends. So My game may wait awhile before it gets started which is fine because I'd kinda like to see the PRPg Beta rules first anyway, other wise just to be contrary I may use Rolemaster instead.

All,
For reasons external to the game, I'm having to seriously curtail my pbp activity. The first cut I'm making is dropping all 3E/PF games, preserving time for the 4E games I'm running and playing in, for the sake of only having to keep track of one ruleset.
This was a difficult decision, and my apologies. I hope Lyssa's not so integrated into the story that you can't find a replacement.
Apologies,
Pat

Before we carry on, here are a few guidelines that I will be utilising:-
COMBAT
-Posting. My hope is for people to post in (approximately) initiative order. At the start of a fight, I’ll roll initiative for all of you so that we don’t spend a whole day waiting of hear from everybody.
-Revealed statistics. At the start of any combat, I’ll supply you with defensive statistics for all involved monsters and NPCs, both enemies and allies. These will be formatted as follows:
NAME (number present): statistics and abilities.
As an example, using the sample NPC from page 339 of the PRPG Beta.
KIRAMOR, THE FOREST SHADOW (1): AC 18 (touch 14, flat-footed 14); Fort 17, Ref 22, Will 12; hp 45; evasion (on a failed attack vs. Reflex that still deals half damage on a miss, Kiramor instead takes no damage).
-Recording attacks. Whenever you attack a monster or NPC, record the attack roll and (if you hit) damage dealt. Then record the total amount of hit points that the monster or NPC has left. When recording the hit points of monsters where there are more than one of the same type (for example, 3 orc barbarians), please differentiate the monsters using numbers (Orc Barbarian 1, Orc Barbarian 2, and Orc Barbarian 3). At the end of each round, I’ll post an update with remaining hit points on all involved monsters and NPCs. Whenever a PC’s hit points change, from damage or healing, the attacker/healer should do the same and post remaining hp.
-Space. Generally, space isn’t an issue. At the end of each round, I’ll post rough estimates of each creature’s location, but I won’t have a grid in front of me, either. Generally, ranged attacks (including ranged spells) can be made with no penalty against any creature in the same combat (unless there is some obviously major distance in spacing).
-Attacks of Opportunity. These will really need to be made ad hoc. If you think that any action should provoke an attack of opportunity based on the active creature’s space, please say so. For the most part, I’ll fully adjudicate monster AoPs and when PCs get to make AoPs.
