*Loki coughs*
well, erm.... my backstory is a few hundred words

I see. Well then. Aha,,,

I look forward to seeing how it pans out once we get this show on the road.

Edit: increasingly more excited and looking forward to everything starting via the post below this one

First post will be up tomorrow! my weekend was busy but good (came in 3rd in a warhammer tourney ) and tomorrow I have the day off from work so i'll start working on it as soon as i wake up so you guys can hopefully have it as soon as possible. next monday I will be updating it, and if you guys can't get a post in by that time then PM me your actions, or you'll be npc'ed. But I don't expect any of that to be happening as it'll be the opening post.

Also! The game JUST started so anyone else who wants to join can do so, as it will be very easy to write you in. But the longer you wait the harder it'll be so get moving! (If theres anyone even lurking )

Would everyone be able to send me their back stories so I can add them to the sheet? I seem to of deleted the wrong sheets from my PM box so I need them again, and btw I'm working good on the post now, so it'll be up today!

I'll send you my back story just as soon as my film has ended.

I'll also start planning my post then.

YAY for the game start.

Sweet, thanks! Also, please if you have any comments on the post or suggestions or anything, please leave them here. Also I hope none of you mind that I kinda god moded your characters on trivial things, i didnt think it would matter much.

lol, well i'll more than likely just lurk to figure out how to play better, I'm guessing backstory is like their background and appearance.

Very happy to have the game start.

Working on the intro post now; cannot wait for the adventure to get underway!

Edit: Also, welcome Zyphuer. I'm sure none mind if you lurk our little gathering here. Feel free to ask any questions you have regarding our game in this thread. If you feel up to it, create a thread in the Coming and Goings section just to say hi to everyone.

I'm glad your already workin' away at it, I'm pretty hyped up for the adventure too! ( I might of catapulted your characters farther than I wanted to in the opening post, but if you guys are alright with everything then I am ok too!)

Also, remember if you want that high rez tethyr map then just PM Me your email and i'll send it to you.

I like your introductory post, this is shaping up to be a good one.

Are we going to have an order to post in or are we just free to post whenever?

you can post whenever, it doesnt matter with RP and when it comes down to combat, we can do it three ways.

1) I can roll initiative for everyone and then that will be your posting order (which might be better but it relies on certain people posting before others wich could hold people up. This will onlywork if everyone is ready to post when they are needed.

2) your post is your initiative kinda thing, for purposes of who goes before who in the party

3) You post your posts in any order, then I roll initiative and try to accomodate everyone as close as they wanted to their actions. For example if you wante dto attack ranged, but are going last due to initiative, i can make a judgment call or you can tell me whatyou want to do incase something happens, like "Ok, want to attack ranged, if i can't or get in close combat, i'll either cast a spell or withdraw from combat." Something to that effect



I vote for 3 honestly, i think it'll work out the best.

We could post our combat actions in a Q&A thread and then at the end of each round each of us can do a write up of actions directly relating to our character?

It's a bit more complex but I think it might work... Or at least it can't hurt to give it a try

EDIT: but otherwise I vote for 3

couldn't everyone post their intent and the dm do all the rolls and post the results in one large descriptive message?

Loki's method may get a tad confusing, as we'd be using both threads
what Zyphuer suggests seems to be a more refined explanation of 3

ex.:

I lunge into combat towards an enemy who is approaching me and Loki shoots the same one with his bow (with precise shot; oh thee gods with precise shot - please).
dependent on initiative Jozan either explains how the enemy attacks me (we're in melee.), or I reach the enemy (we're in melee) [where precise shot is important] or an arrow whistles past my head into the enemy I'm moving to/is moving towards me (no precise shot needed)

a sum up of each rounds combat makes sense.

<(don't shoot me)>

now 3.5 runs with a set initiative order in each combat; will we be doing that or adopting a more 2ed approach where it changes each round (combat being a chaotic event and such)?


(~3 has my vote)

-T_O

I'll try not to shoot you...

OK, mine could be more confusing. Three would be better.
