Rules, yes they have been interesting to say the least, but we will try them as they are and work on what we need to adjust, just like any other system. I think combat will be quick and deadly. Which may or may not be good for pbp.
So far I think it will go:
DM: I will describe the area, the threat, and then based on your class/lvl or if you have encounter the creature before, give you hints as to what actions they may take.
Players: Everyone will tell me what their character wants to do, and make any attack rolls, ability checks as needed. Last player to post will roll the groups INIT (just a d6)
DM: I will then roll the encounters INIT and narrate what happened that round.
If the fighters have two attacks they don't need INIT and can go ahead with their first attack for the round. Old AD&D was looser than a lot of systems today, it may just be a fit for pbp. Only thing I will regret is rolling ties during combat, but we'll work through them when we get to them.
So now just need characters in the RG - I would quote jmucchielllo's character then switch the info around, not hard for TallIan, same saves, THACO etc. and I will work on our opening post.
Game can start this time next week if everyone is ready.
