Game Rules

Posting.

In exploration and down time mode, A consensus is not needed I will push things forward and retcon actions as suitable when required. This is to keep the game going forward if you missed posting just let me know and we can sort it out as required, as we are in exploration or downtime mode this shouldn't be too difficult as long as it doesn't cause great rifts in the story. eg the new player joining as a monk, easy to recon that she was a female elf not a human male.

When I ask for a roll during Exploration or down time.  ____________? time will be given before I roll for you, and npc the result.

Again this is to keep thing moving.

Game Rules

FOR COMBAT

Rules will be posted soon once all players can agree to how long we wait for people and what default actions will be. My usual rules are:

Initiative: This will be called for and 24 hours will be given before I roll for those that haven't posted.

I will call players to post based on location in initiative it will either be before or after monsters who get one roll for all monsters and one roll for a boss.

I am happy for you to post out of order once called but the actions will still occur in order of initiative. Again I will give a day for this.

This reduces a round of combat to 1-3 days based on posting regularity. Max time = Day 1 peeps who act before monsters, day 2 monsters, act day 3 peeps acting after monsters.

How do you all feel about this?

This looks good to me. I have done in the past that when we roll initiative, we also roll our first turn in the same post just to speed it up. Our actions would still happen in order of initiative, but this can really eliminate the time between.

I am going to give 24 hours for this roll to be made and if I must NPC the result it will be what is best for storyline not always most advantageous for the party or direct benefit of the player.

Re: Game Rules

No issue with any of these I suggest that when we post our actions if you think there should be a roll (attack, damage, skill roll etc.) that we make the roll and include it with the post. The DM can choose to use it or not but this way we won't be holding anyone up. that may be waiting on a roll.
