OK, guys, here we go!

A few items of business before we actually start playing:

First, due to the way some success rolls are calculated (particularly damage, but also a few others) I'll need you to paste the individual dice rolls from Invisible Castle to your posts, like this:

[Character Name] rolls 3d6, getting [2,4,1] = (7)

You can omit everything except the dice rolls and the total if it's obvious what the roll is from the context of your post.

My plan is to get each of you a CD with information about the world (Calendars, Deities, Maps, etc.) and a few viewing programs so you can look at it all, but I need to make sure your characters are in their final forms before I burn the CD's so it may be a little while. Until then, we'll fake it.

OK, that should do it for now!

Welcome!

Hi all. I'm looking foward to gaming with you. I have been puttering around these boards for a while now, and I'm happy to help if you have questions. I recommend you play around with the "help" files at the top of the page and also the "my account" stuff. Click on "scotley" next to my posts and you can send me an email, or just post your questions in this thread.

Housekeeping

Just a few requests and pointers for those of you who haven't gamed with us in this format before.

In the title line for each submission just post your characters name -- there are no classes or levels in this system to further identify characters.

"Please put all dialogue in quotes," and all thoughts in italics. "It's also helpful to make your dialogue stand out by putting it in a different color, preferably one in high contrast to black since that's what your friendly GM uses for a background."

Dice rolling is done via www.invisiblecastle.com, which is a very easy site to use. Just follow the instructions on the site to roll your dice (don't forget to put your character name in the appropriate spot so you can look up your roll later if needed), and copy and paste the results to your post on ENWorld.

I think that's all for now -- check back for future updates!

Sometimes less is more. If you are having trouble getting your posts to come out the way your want go to "my account" at the top of any window. Select "my user control panel". On the left pane choose "edit options". Scroll down to "miscellaneous options." Select the "Standard editor" rather than the basic or enhanced. I think you get "enhanced" by default, but it is really more complex to use and less likely to be supported by your browser or OS. Good luck.

You're welcome. These boards are a little counter intuitive at first, but once you get the hang of them they make for great gaming. Just fyi, if you post to a thread it becomes a 'subscribed thread' and then you can go to 'my account' and select 'my subscribed threads' to see the ones you use. Much easier than going to each one from an external link and it will tell you when the last person posted as well as organize them based on recent activity. You can also subscribe without actually posting by using the 'thread tools' menu.

A few questions before I get started

Hey Mike.

Um... where's Athelstan Spilhaus? And what's with those pdf files on that first url you emailed me that I can't do anything with when I click on 'em.
