[QUOTE="dave_o, post: 2772653, member: 2933"] [size=4][b]Welcome to Rivets Eternal: Metal Men and Fleshy Cogs![/b][/size] This'll be the OOC thread where you can discuss metaplot stuff, in-depth rules questions, character motivations, etc. I really hope you do use this thread to talk about character/plot stuff in a meta way so we can work together to make this game awesome. :D [b][u]Post Formatting![/u][/b] I'd like your character name and their current location at the top of each post in bold.

Each post will likely have a little OOC footnote. Basically, in italics, you'll ask for rolls and post your checks, make clarifications about just how you're divvying up your action, etc. Lengthy stuff should go in this thread. But for an example of what I'm yammerin' about. [b]Dave of Oh, The Hoghead Inn[/b] "My, what a fine day to aimlessly murder the innkeep," Sir Dave intoned, pulling on his metal undies.
