OK I usually wait until everyone post to continue


We're not exactly in the middle of a critical decision. I don't think anyone's going to be upset if you push the game forward despite lack of response. Sometimes, there's just nothing for the character to say or do, anyway.

Anyway, my vote is for you to take it forward.

I believe we said we were heading for the Rusty Dagger. Or at least that was the last thing I saw.

I'm just wondering what's going to happen next, since it's been a while and no one has posted yet... If it is a skip, then that might be good. It could allow events to occur the next day, instead of late in the current day, since that might be troublesome for those w/o darkvision or light sources.

Whats in the NE corner Catman? what do the buildings look like? Where is the church located? where is the Rusty dagger located? maybe a rough sketch might help?

One way I have seen it done is to draw it how ever you want and then upload it to a photo bucket account. You could just sketch it by hand and then scan it, or use paint and then upload it on photo bucket and give us the link, and password if necessary.

OK I'll try to get accessed to one.

You could also use deviant instead of photo bucket.


There are some folks starting to use GoogleApps spreadsheets for their maps, also.

Neither were they, but they seem to have figured it out pretty quickly (I'm referring to a couple of other DMs I'm playing with or watching).


The googleapps spread sheet is pretty simple to use. (It what I have been using in the game I run on the boards). If you have questions, just ask.

I hate to do it, but this game is Moving way too slow for me, I'm going to drop out and let someone else fill in. Sorry, it did sound interesting, just not enough posting.

Shadow Lodge

sorry for the slow posting but had to get a new comp. I'll try to be faster in the future.

I'm glad to hear you are still with us. I was starting to consider stepping aside, also, but I can be very patient if I know there's something to wait for.

do you go into the spread sheet and attempt to make a grid?

Typically, I will create the map in microsoft excel and upload it to my google docs folder. Of course you could just create the document in google docs. Of course you would have to resize the cells but that is easy enough to do.

Here is a LINK to a map that I used early in my Council of Thieves game, just so you have an example to look at or work from.

Thanks for y'all for waiting on me I'll get right on it.

Update Inn

Update Inn

It's all good. I see the map, it looks good to me. Is the square with the letters the table at which we are sitting and the letters representing our characters? Is the door to the room at the top of the map? Can the characters tell what the red area at lower left is? How about the black area at left? I'm guessing row 2 is sidewalk/boardwalk/street outside.

Shadow Lodge

It's inside the inn. the gray area is the stage, the red is the door, the black is the border, the off brown is the counter, and yes the letters does represent your characters.


Catman,

Sorry about this, but the posting rate in this game is just too infrequent for me to get into, so I'm going to pull out.

I'll keep an eye on the thread, so feel free to ask any questions you might have along the way about the google docs stuff or DMing a PbP in general.

Good Luck.

Shadow Lodge

Due to the holidays and finals I will not be posting until mid December.

Not to be mean, but at the current rate of posting, we've lost at least two of five players. I suspect there will be no one left that cares in a month.

Perhaps it would be best to just kill the game now and restart it when your schedule is more amenable.
