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
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 evading, and wasting their second 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 1: (movement, or attack, or focus, or evade... or something else.)
Action 2: (movement, or attack, or focus, or evade... or something else.)
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, the rules allow me to make it so you automatically succeed on an Opposition roll. Again, this is an ad-hoc and inconsistent award that largely depends on how much I liked the post.
Sending an RTJ
I am looking for a few things from prospective players who are looking to join this game. I don't think any of these requests are too much to ask, but perhaps my head has gotten a bit swollen with all the power. Who knows.
- I would really like players who buy-in to the setting, who read the sketchy background information and who use that as their starting point to create a character.
- I hope to find players who enjoy role-playing, combat, exploration and who won't be put off from my low posting rate when my Real Life gets complicated. I'm a teacher of children who have exams, important ones. Sometimes work consumes my every waking moment. This is unavoidable but I hope not something that destroys the game every time it happens.
- I would like to find creative players who add things to my game world. Creativity breeds creativity, after all.
- I would love players who have their characters follow up on plot hooks and get involved in the adventures I write. I write all my own adventures, and this takes time and effort. I really love players who reward my work with actually getting to see me run what I write.
- I would love players who are social and see a game as the totality of interaction. What I mean is, we can talk in OOC too and have a laugh, share things and talk. Yeah, I know. Lame, huh?
What you can expect from me is...
- Original adventures unseen anywhere else in the world
- A keen DM who will do his best to
kill your characters give you an exciting game - Someone who can improvise when you totally miss the plot hooks
- Cookies. Magical tracking cookies.
