Re: Voided Moves Everyone has access to the rulebook, which is available here: http://www.wizards.com/avalonhill/rules/diplomacy.pdf Everyone also has access to the BOUNCED playing help page, which clearly explains the system of order syntax. http://www.dipbounced.com/help/playgame.html...

I've since received a message from a player who's not comfortable with this. Can I ask that Fenris doesn't post about the game here. If Fenris doesn't plan to become a replacement, by all means join the game as an observer and post about it at BOUNCED. If he does plan to become a replacement...

No. Observers can't join the game as a replacement (because they can send press they're already considered to be "playing"). Observers can send what they like in press, to whom they like. (So long as it isn't personally abusive, which would be in breach of BOUNCED rules). White press is press...

A replacement player can see all the previous players press sent and recieved. Whether he is bound by the previous players agreements is entirely up to him. Usually, he does restart his diplomacy from scratch (i.e. renegotiates everything on joining). I'm afraid so. There are two stats on...

Fenris; What happened is this. Someone beat you to the replacement position (depite my warnings). This puts me in a really awkward position. The place is promised to you. But if I throw the other guy out he takes a large commitment loss on BOUNCED, essentially for joining our game, out of the...

Austria has been replaced. Fenris, if you could find the postition (search for replacement positions) and join we'd all be very grateful. Send me a message once you've done so.

Fenris; Thanks for the message. I'm going to hit the replacement button as soon as grace times out (in - I think - 4hrs time). I look forward to you joining the game. Mark; I wish I had programed in a 24hr grace period. Unfortunately I left in the 48hr default, and it can't be changed once...

The info is all in the Red Wedding chapter cited above. Theon has been taken back to the Dreadfort by Ramsey Bolton (nee Snow), and is being flayed. Robb wants Theon killed. But Lord Bolton says it would be wiser to hold him hostage. Theon is the rightful King of the Iron Islands. Whoever claims...

I know exactly who's hasn't got their orders in on time, so there's no need to worry on that count. The GMs guidelines say not to reveal the name of the late power - in case it influences the diplomacy - that's why I'm being hush hush about exactly who it is.

Possible Replacement A player has missed the first deadline. If they don't show I will be putting them up for replacement about 24hrs from now. Fenris, are you out there ready to take over?

Have you read The Knight and Knave of Swords? You're right that Fritz Leiber has written some amazing stuff (Swords against Death), and is a superb stylist. But a lot of his stuff is dross of the highest order. Particularly the later Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser stories. That's pretty much the...

Game Started I know from here and there that everyone is about, so I've unpaused the game. Good luck everyone. I just wanted to make sure everyone was ready to go, before I unpaused the game. Technically, there was nothing stopping you from entering orders, though you'd probably just end up...

Once the game starts, send a message saying who you are. I'll then unpause the game for Spring 1901 negotiations and let battle commence. Is everyone happy with everything?

The game has been created. It is called ENWorldPrivateGame. The settings are as requested. To join, simply find the game name in the "Other Games" list on www.dipbounced.com, click on ENWorldPrivateGame, and then and hit join. At the bottom of the game's name page you will find a Preference...

Maerdwyn; I'd love to create the game. I'll do so now. I'll post details when I'm done.

My account name on Bounced is leederick. I'm actually a GM on the system, so if you want me to set up and GM the game there I can do that (I won't be able to play if I do this however).

I'm glad Joshua's sharing his views on Lovecraft. The board would be a much duller place if people didn't give their opinions on things, or if they stuck rigidly to the thread topic. I'm not sure I agree with Joshua's views though. One problem with them is that they evaluate Lovecraft as a...

I could do with everyone's opinion of this. What do you think about the balance of PC races with a +0 Level Adjustment, which have bonuses to statistics related to spellcasting (Wis, Int, Cha). There aren't any of these as "official" choices in the PHB, but they have been brought in as options...

From my experience the most usual time deadlines - for automated judges - are 48hrs for Spring and Fall turns (when the action happens), and 24hrs for adjustments and build phases (when negotiation isn't required as much, and they often process early). Orders have to be in by the end of the...

What's everyone doing with Frostburn? I know you can use bits from the book (monsters/magic/feats/etc.), but I'm thinking of running a campaign set in the snowbound North. What are the good campaign themes and arcs that you could use in that sort of arena?
