I roll my physical dices at home, much faster than typing on that damned rpol dice roller. And if I fudge dices, its 90% of the time in your favor ;)

Don't get me wrong, i totally trust you...  it just threw me off that you had us roll perception and then suddenly we had initiatives...  my headache addled brain was having trouble making a connection between the two...  lol

If you tell me everyone's bonus to initiative, I can make you a dice roller link that'll roll everyone at once.

I actually kind of like rolling my own dice...   If the DM (or your dice roller) rolls a 1 initiative for me, that is more annoying to me than if I roll the 1 myself...  i know that may sound weird because rolling a 1 is the same no matter who rolls it, but if it was my own fate that rolled the 1, it seems to be easier for me to swallow...  My $.02

I'm in a game where the DM rolls all the dice, for everything other than Death saves. It bugged me to start, but actually lead to increased RP since nobody knew their results when they posted. If someone has crap rolls, they tend to drop one-liners or put almost no effort into it, so not knowing the rolls gives you a clearer view of what the character is thinking and trying to accomplish in the moment, with an in-the-moment perspective from the character.

I think we all enjoy rolling dice. Initiative is quite a hold-up PBP format, though, so I'm happy to save time on that one. It only really effects the first round of combat anyway.

The mobs had the drop on you guys, so this is an exception,  you will 99% of the time roll your own rolls

Actually...  and maybe this is just me, but I tend to put MORE effort into a failed roll... There's all kinds of fun ways to describe the role of the fates in a failure... lol

Hi All,

Apologies if you receive this multiple times through multiple venues.  I'm going to be away this weekend (Queen's Birthday public holiday means a long weekend).  I'll have my laptop and internet access, but my activities are unplanned, so my posting may be unreliable.

Feel free to NPC my character until I return (evening 13 Jun Sydney Time); I will cheerfully deal with any IC-decisions upon my return.

Cheers!

Oh, that hurt to RP those questions, which I'd never ask IRL.  It therefore needs to be said that's a separation of player and character...

Gamemaster:
The rope is herself knotted every feet and lead ten feet down, to a kind of platform jutting from the wall of the chasm.


A female rope??? How gender inclusive!  =D

Um...  did I miss something?  Where did it say there were only 4 rats? And what platform are they on - lowest only or both?
