[QUOTE="airwalkrr, post: 6202365, member: 12460"] I've decided to make a couple of changes (call them house rules if you like) to the original style of the campaign. The intent is to make book-keeping on everyone's part easier and let us focus on the action and roleplaying. 1) I have decided to use the Cost of Living rules with some minor adjustments so that I don't need to track specific calendar days. The rules can be found [URL="http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/airwalkrr-s-rise-of-the-runelords/wikis/cost-of-living-house-rule"]here[/URL] on the OP site. Please take a moment to look them over. 2) Rather than track experience by post and post quality, the adventure path offers guidance on the expected level of the PCs throughout the game. I have decided to use this instead to track when characters level up. This makes tracking experience easier for all. I may modify it slightly based on how easy or difficult the campaign seems to be, especially given that the AP is intended for a party of four characters and not six, but to be honest, I do not expect that after a few months we will still have all six original party members, so for the first chapter at least, I will be sticking to the guidelines quite closely. 3) Because I still want to encourage players to role-play and post frequently and substantially (because that is what keeps a PBP campaign alive), I have decided to use another tangible form of reward for keeping with the expected posting frequency/quality level for players: Hero Points. The rules on Hero Points can be found [URL="http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/advanced/advancedNewRules.html#_hero-points"]here[/URL] if you do not own the Advanced Player's Guide. You may take advantage of Hero Points even if you have selected the Core Rulebook Only Option for your character (but not Hero Point feats; those who did not select the Core Rulebook Only Option retain the right to select Hero Point feats). I have not decided upon the EXACT method by which I will award Hero Points, but the guidelines for awarding Hero Points in the APG will be a barometer. In addition, each real-time month for which I feel you have put forth a good-faith effort to contribute to the game by quality and quantity of posts, I will award your character 1 Hero Point (I may decide to alter the real-time based award if I feel it is too little or too much depending on how things go). In addition, those of you who have written a background story for you character receive 1 Hero Point at the campaign's beginning. I encourage you to use your Hero Points regularly as I intend to award them quite liberally. A single high-quality post may impress me so much that I will award a Hero Point on the basis of that post alone! [/QUOTE]
