Fate, no worries.  Weekends are hard for me too.  And when I have a day off.   I usually check RPOL a couple of times throughout the day at work because with 6 kids I don't get much time at night.

So... after I posted calling for initiative I realized that not only is it unnecessary, but also makes a big bottle neck. So, from now on, we'll just skip it. Most of the time it should be pretty obvious which side should get to act first and you guys can just go in post order. When I posted I had in my head I'd average all your initiatives and make it more fair... but I think it'll be fine without all that extra work and waiting.

So, in short, sorry for the delay. I've learned that what I had in mind isn't so effective so I'm changing it. :D

At work we call that "continuous improvement thinking" :)

Well that turned out better than I had hoped, for now...

How does one play Krzzt?

What should I roll for Neil?

Hmmm, up to the GM but I'd assume you make an unarmed strike against him, and he makes an unarmed strike against you, and whoever is on their feet buys the other a drink. Or gets the shit beaten out of him by angry orcs. As the case may be.

Hmmm...but just the one angry Orc... potentially...

Well, since this is a "game" and not a fight we won't use attack rolls since one of the rules is that you keep your hands to your side and allow yourself to be punched. As well, I think despite it being of Orcish concept, the game isn't meant to be lethal. So here is what we'll do:

The half orc will let Neil go first. Roll 1d6 and add your strength modifier like you would to a melee attack. We'll add 10 and this will be the Fortitude save the Half-orc has to make in order to keep his feet. If he fails the save Neil will have won. If he passes he stays on his feet and he'll get his turn, where he'll follow the same rules and set the DC for Neil's Fortitude save.

The question is, what do we do if they both pass their saves? I'd prefer this not to become a back and forth for multiple saves. Anyone got any ideas on how one might judge this sort of contest fairly?

Personally, I don't mind the GM rolling stuff out if it saves time, as long as we are allowed to use any rerolls we possess.

You could just roll it out yourself and figure out who wins.

That's a good idea.

Works for me.

Yeah, maybe have the GM auto-roll until someone fails.

I think that would be best

Sorry guys. Weekend + Father's Day = Zero Posting time. I hope everyone had a good weekend and Father's Day. I'll get the post up within the next little while.

No worries.

I fell asleep on my bed after an exhausting and hot day out at lunch.  My 8 year old girl came in and found me asleep and says to my 7 year old girl "Daddy's asleep we should take his glasses off."  I stayed asleep and helped her to move my head so she could take them off.  So cute.

Then later my 7 year old girl came in and said to my 8 year old girl "Daddy's still wearing his shoes." So she then took of my shoes AND socks.  She was a brave little girl :) LOL

What does "ROOM DC" mean in the GM posts please?

That is the default DC to beat if you guys want to make a roll. That way you don't have to ask "What's the disable device DC for these three locks?" you can just tell me you're rolling Disable Device and make the roll.

Just makes things a bit more streamlined. :)

I like that.  Thanks :)

So sorry guys! I know that I've left you hanging for the last couple of days. I *really* thought that this OT thing would have wrapped up by now but it's only getting busier for me at work. If I had the time that I would want to devote to the game I probably wouldn't have the mental bandwidth. Unfortunately, lacking either, I have to withdraw. The game and the world both seem *great* though so I hope you guys have a blast!

Good Luck Gorlash!!

FYI, I'm waiting to post any replies until others post.  I don't want to be a hog.

I am so sorry for disappearing. It has been the week from hell at work and it doesn't look like it's going to end until after the upcoming long weekend. I will get back to posting I promise, I just wanted to take a minute on my phone during the only break I've had in the last 12 hours to jump on and let you all know what is happening.

Again, I am so sorry and I appreciate your patience with me.

It's all good GM, summer is always a weird slowdown for Rpol, plus the holiday weekend just passed, so a sort of double whammy there.

Still here and still kicking!

Yeah, we are in the dog days of RPoL for sure.

This and Christmas.

Also still around, whenever you get back.

It's all good.  Work and Home have been busy for me too. :)

Still keeping track of this one.

Hope you are doing better, Fate!

Hi all.  I'm sorry to do this, but I have to withdraw from this game.  I've had changes in my work lift and my personal life that are not leaving me any room to visit RPOL and little mental capacity to write good posts.  Good Luck.
