Game Info and House Rules

Some generic thoughts and game info.

I've not tried to run this via Play by Post before so we may encounter some kinks or other issues which we'll need to house rule around - I'll keep a log of that here.

Posting Rate

I can normally manage a posting rate of every couple of days. I have a full time job and two small children so this can be variable - sometimes it's a bit less and sometimes, when the baby sleep Gods are with me, it's daily.

Dice Rolling

I think PbP games work best the more players pre-empt things like dice rolling and, thus, things keep moving. I would say when in doubt if you know you're making a move roll accordingly with whatever Ability you think fits the situation best and applying any Conditions which might reasonably impact it. If I really don't think it fits then I can always come back and tinker with it but as this system leans more towards collaborative fiction than many others I suspect I rarely will need to.

Equally if you have any ideas for what would be a good outcome for a success (or failure) of an action feel free to include that in the post either worked into the body of it (ie. "Sebastian feared that if he didn't make the jump he would fall to his death on the cobbles below") or just as an OOC at the end.

Threats and the Mastermind

It's my intention to set up individual boards to save details about each threat and information about the Mastermind as you gather it. Not entirely sure how those boards will be set out yet but I'm working on it!
