The silver-masked sorceress shoots the second demon a distrustful glare, then moves to join the attack, placing herself prudently so that Halleck and Brenwar are between her and the enemy before lobbing a dart of seething green ectoplasm. Move: E3 Standard: acid orb vs impaler 1, 17 vs...

Quagmire stands, shakes his head to clear it from the previous blow, and gets ready to charge when the wolves return. Move: stand Standard: ready action to charge when one of the wolves moves up to rank BE. The ideal scenario would be for DW1 to come back up and attack Sir Ex, then I'd...

I don't particularly have an opinion one way or the other on this, so I'll pass for now, but keep an eye on this.

Hmm. Well, we need a way to distinguish rows that have one approval from rows that have two approvals. I suppose I didn't actually say so, but it was in my mind that this last workflow preserved the list of who was approved and by whom. Hidden by filters, yes, but retrievable. I don't...

Hmm. Interesting. I think we're getting closer. How about this: 1. Alice submits form. 2. Barbara finds mistakes, comments on the wiki (emailing Alice) and marks the row as Not approved. That row is done and gone; and can be hidden by a filter. Barbara does not get any emails. 3...

Hmm. How's this: (thinking out loud here) 1. Alice fills out the form to submit her new level 1 character, Noobicus Maximus. Yay! Nobody gets emailed. Noobicus gets added the the spreadsheet, which looks like this (it can have more columns, but these are the ones I want to see as part of...

I like the entry form. The spreadsheet... could be useable, with some tweaks (e.g. need the current approval status to be visible; dont' care so much about race/class). The hard part would be managing the workflow. What do I do when I want to approve a character? What if I'm the second...

Quagmire pauses to survey the battlefield before moving in. Seeing no opening to get through the front line of wolves to the downed leader, he moves to shore up the left flank instead, calling out "Keep after the big'un, lads. I'll keep these off ye." He feints a heavy blow that would leave...

ooc: which one have I been talking to? Number 2?

I've been thinking about this a lot recently. Some points: with the exception of DMing, character judging is by far the most labor-intensive thing we do. It would be awesome to spread that load around some. To my knowledge, we've never had anyone try to gain an advantage in L4W by...

ooc: Quagmire gets initiative 21. That includes +2 from Andras, which I'm not completely sure is legit. If you think it's not, then 19.

Sure, why not. I'll at least give it a try, and maybe ask for clarification if I need to.

This has come up before. IIRC, the rule is that you can start your 2nd character as soon as the xp is awarded that would get the 1st to level 2. In practice, there's nothing stopping you from putting up a wiki page and entering the tavern even before that. You just wouldn't be eligible to...

Yes, you can level up in an adventure, at the discretion of the DM. Which basically means the DM can hold off on awarding XP until a suitable time (e.g. an extended rest or a specific plot point), if they see fit. Note that you don't have to re-submit your character for approval when you level...

Been there, done that, know how you feel. :) DMing is hard. I'm having more fun in the adventure, even slow, than I would be sitting in the tavern waiting, so I'm happy to continue... But I'll certainly understand and respect it if you want to cut things off, too.

Let's see. From a quick look, Finnean, Jesse, Cyrus, and Ixen all still need a judge approval. I think they all have a non-judge approval. (thanks, horticulture!) I'd like to help you guys out, but I'm in an awkward position here. I don't currently pay for DDI, and all of those characters...

"Well, now, that just ain't no way t'treat a lady," Quagmire rumbles. "Just set that whip aside, bub, and we can talk this over like gentlefolk. Otherwise, I'd have t'conclude that ye be on the wrong side o' what's right, here. An' that'd be just a shame." He doesn't sound like he'd be...

No worries. It was an awesome turn anyway. :)

Quagmire's eyes widen, impressed despite himself. "Not sure you lads need my help after all... But, eh, might as well join the fun." He wades in and deftly slices across the back of the creature's arm, aiming for the tendon. "That oughta slow ye down fer a minute." Move: to G6 Standard...

"The difference is, you're losing. If you don't do something to demonstrate your good faith, you're going to die. Soon. What you get out of standing aside is the possibility that we may choose not to kill you. If you interfere, you will die here. If you stand aside, you may live. Do you...
