Post Standards
I'm not one for picking out mistakes in other's posts. I do enjoy too read what has been written. To that end, please...
- Keep your posts written in past tense, third-person
- Use speech marks to denote speech
- Use a colour other than orange to denote speech
- Use Orange for OOC notes
- Use italics for thoughts or internal monologue/dialogue. Colour is optional.
- Post more than a sentence or two. Please make it interesting to read.
- Please use punctuation =).
Combat
Initiative will be managed by DM, either rolling for you or using his fiat. This does not make your initiative score useless - it is simply easier to post in 'rounds' in this sort of a game.
You do not need to post in initiative order.
When a combat begins,
each round will be between 24-48 hours, depending on '
things'. If no post is made during that time by a player, I will assume they are holding their action. This is to ensure that the first combat the game ends up in isn't also the last scene of the game.
When making a combat post, please make a normal, narrative, post first describing your actions, thoughts, feelings, etc. put a < hr > tag and underneath, in orange, give me the following information:
Action: (standard, swift, free, immediate etc)
Move: (the grid location on the battle map provided)
If you are attacking, post the enemy's number/letter too. Just in case I get confused and it isn't obvious. Roll damage on every attack you make as I won't be disclosing the enemy's AC.
If you're casting a spell, please use the full name so I can check it in the book should I need to. I'm slow.
Please copy and paste any rolls you make, too, to save me a little time.
Note, the most important part of the post is actually the narrative. If it is amazing - if i can feel real 'Hollywood' quality in it, I'll add a +something to the attack or damage roll - which is why it makes sense to roll damage as well. Again, this is an ad-hoc and inconsistent award that largely depends on how much I liked the post and if the characters are mowing through my baddies or finding them a bit of a match.
XP
There is no XP. XP is a lie. Characters level up when appropriate and at the DM's discretion. It is highly likely that everyone will level up at the same time.
