While I have been enjoying the game I do have a few suggestions that I have found make my PBP run smoother in combat.
1: A battlemap. Even if it's something done with dots in MS paint a battle maps is damned useful and cuts down on confusion during a round. I myself use an online table top calledTTop Which is made for playing games live online. However I used it as a mapper you an load icons and any image file up as a map. Then print screen edit in ms paint and upload to something like flickr. It takes less then 5 mins once ya save the campaign and such. It makes my life alot easier. You can also take the profile images from paizo to make pc icons
Forums like[urlhttp://www.dundjinni.com/forums/default.asp?C=4]Dundjinni[/url] and campaign cartographer are ideal to get images
2: During the week if a player has not posted in say 24-48 hours NPC his actions in combat. I don't like to but to allow a game to stall because of one player is a bad ideal.
anyhow just some thoughts

I understand the desire for battlemats, but I honestly hate them in non D&D games. I think they're useful for placement, but they tend to restrict creativity. You think in terms of squares rather than in terms of heroics. I'm not against using a map, but a battle map I won't do. Even if it would speed up combat, it's not an equal trade off in my minds.
As for the 24-48 hour rule, I'll think about it. Unfortunately I understand too well when life intervenes and slows posting rates. I work in a deadline rich environment; delays can occur without any fault.
Still, I'll go on tomorrow morning. Tonight I've got a game in real life that I need to prep for.
Thanks!

I am good; I am not concerned about battlemats and am good with your descriptions; your doing of a great job of bringing the feel of the situation and where everything is so I am comfortable without a map.
I took a few hits; how long does it take for these to be restored with my constitution; am still learning the game.
I am looking forward to our debriefing and melding as team.

Oh wow, I am sorry guys I could have sworn I posted a bow out of this one as I got super busy and lost posting time so dropped everything but the games I ran. It seems my post got eaten or just vanished in one of those odd forum moments. I didn't mean to just vanish I thought I left some notice. I am Very sorry about that.

I kinda though ya wrote me out man as it was first week of may or so when I though I bowed out. I just hated for yall to think I just stopped posting as I find that rude to both the GM and other players to do so. Life just slammed me real hard for a while there.
