Re: OOC

I updated the maps thread with a link to a new map for the bandit hunt. The big grey area is "fog of war", that you shouldn't yet be able to see. Can everyone see the map?

Re: OOC

Oh wow. Nicely done.

I edited my post a bit. Let me know if you want me to roll or if you want to do it secretly so I don't know the results heh.

I can't zoom in on Google Doc pages on my phone (tho image files are fine), so on weekends I usually won't be able to see small details on that site. I can see it fine on my PC tho.

Hm, interesting - I can zoom in on my phone ok (iPhone) in the safari browser, though that may be because I'm the author of it. Google Docs has a separate app too which might let you zoom in.

I've just got an old BlackBerry phone which doesn't work on sites that don't have backwards compatibility, so I may take a bit longer to respond on weekends.

Re: OOC

Ok, Jak's moved into a spot where he'll be able to see basically the whole area.

I'll give it a day or so IRL in case anyone else wants to post - a move, action, etc. - then we'll roll initiative =).

Re: OOC

Reminder on posting in combat - from Posts thread:
DM:
1) When combat starts, the DM will roll everyone's initiative, just to keep things moving. It will be posted in a list to show who goes first.

2) You don't have to post in initiative order - but your actions will be resolved by the DM in initiative order, so keep that in mind.

3) You can only post once during a combat round.

4) When posting, roleplay out your actions in the top section per normal posting guidelines (see separate thread for Posts).

5) Put game details in the bottom section of your post, including things like your Action, Move, Bonus Action, etc. Be very specific about these details. For instance:

- Be specific about where you're moving to. I'll try to make sure every map includes grid coordinates to avoid vagueness.
- What target are you attacking?
- What specific area is your spell going to affect?
- What are you doing for your Action vs. Bonus Action vs. Free Action(s).
- What spell are you casting, at what level.
- What type of damage does your attack do (piercing, slashing, necrotic, etc.).
- What happens if the creature you're attacking is killed first by someone higher in the initiative order - e.g., do you attack the nearest baddie that's still up?
- Remember to post your rolls at the very bottom - and remember to be specific in the Dice Roller about what the attack/damage is, who you're attacking, what is the damage caused by, etc.

6) If you don't post enough information & you don't update your post in a timely manner in response to questions, your character does nothing but stand there. The DM will not assume, nor decipher what the character is trying to do.

7) Once the majority of players have posted, the DM will wait a minimum of 24 hours and then resolve that round. If you didn't post before the DM resolves the round, your character just stands there doing nothing.

8) The assumption is that characters will end up standing around doing nothing with some regularity - to make up for this we'll have more than the usual number of players.

Sorry for not posting. Life has been... not fun, over the past couple of weeks. What are we doing now, exactly?

Check out the Day 2 thread, and the Cairn Road Bandit Hunt link under the Maps & Stuff thread to get up to speed.

Re: OOC

Going to apologize in advance if I'm a bit rusty at combat. Despite being in several campaigns on this site, I've only played a single battle as of yet, so I'm a bit clumsy with some rules.

Re: OOC

Hmm. not knowing their initiatives makes player choices very difficult so will likely require some post editing later on. shrug.

How should I denote singing versus talking or yelling in a post? Hmm.

Any one want to be Inspired? lol

Singing, maybe use a different font? There's only three options but at least it'd stand out.

Singing you could do in italics, like "I'd like to teach the world to sing..."


Yelling you could do IN ALL CAPS.

Take comfort in the fact that you won't be the one serving as a pincushion for crossbow bolts :)

Hey, if I can get in Melee range, they're gonna get a taste of Thunderwave, which will be fun.

I know, right?!? I checked the dice roller 3 times with those attack rolls to make sure I was doing it right.

Re: OOC

Well, at least two of our potential healers are conscious. That's something, haha.

Blech, mad I wasted my hex, though. Silly me thought the disadvantage affected ALL rolls with the chosen stat, not just ability checks. Guess that's a lesson I now know for later. :P
