Recruitment is now over for this game. This thread will now be for OOC discussion once the game gets under way.

Okay, so I'm curious to find out how you guys want to handle dice rolling and combat sequences. Do you prefer that I do most of the dice rolling?

Plus, what about using maps? I don't have a PDF version of the module I'm using, so I would have to recreate the maps in CC2 Pro, which would be a major investment of my time.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Well, I have nothing against either ways of dice rolling, but I prefer somewhat for the GM to do it.

Voda Vosa · Feb 27, 2009

I don't have any objections in either rolling system.

I'm assuming that it should be either one way or the other, correct? Either I should do all the dice rolling or each player needs to be responsible for rolling dice on Invisible Castle. Would a mix of both be too confusing? :hmm:

In the game I run here, I use both, the PC's roll most of the dice rolls. I take care of Initiative (for speed) & Search/Spot/Listen (for surprise reasons), but I'm ok with either one or the other.

Well, I'd definitely want to do the Search/Spot/Listen rolls, regardless, and I can handle rolling Initiative and other skills checks if you guys want.

I think, at minimum, I'd want each player to be responsible for rolling their own attack rolls and any opposed combat rolls using Invisible Castle. I can roll damage rolls, however.

A Little Background
The Lady Elisabeth Pendour has hired the PCs to recover a lost key that husband had on him when he died trying to clense a befouled tower on the coast near Carnell. (The tower is known to be infested with harpies as the beasts often attack and kill livestock.)

The adventure assumes that PCs are already in her employ and I'm assuming that your PCs all know each other in one way or another. However, at this point you have the option of posting a short descriptive narrative of your PC on the In-Character thread regarding appearance and mannerisms. (Assume that you are just outside of Carnell and that it is raining.)

While I'm still waiting for a confirmation from Thanee, I'm assuming she's ready since here character was the first posted to the Rogue's Gallery thread.
