Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sparky" data-source="post: 4566084" data-attributes="member: 13681">Happy Thanksgiving everyone! D&D is a very special hobby to me and I'm glad to be able to share it with new people all the time. Thanks to you all for taking part in Toranthar. Thanks to EN World for a place to meet. And thanks to everyone who's kept D&D vital over the years, from Gary decades ago to all the good folks at WotC today. I'm thankful! * Tallarn - welcome to 'properly managed' pbp! I hope it feels 'properly managed' rather than 'needlessly draconic.' I'm constantly trying to refine how a game is presented, stealing from other DMs and ditching what didn't work in the last game to try something that does. You got the raw end of one of those unrefined elements that I'd had success with in a previous game with the whole no-repeated-letters-name thing... sorry about that and thanks for working with me.  * I'm not sure what you mean by designating yourself on the page? Bolding your name? I've seen that used effectively. It seems most effective when you bold the name of every PC and NPC so it can be a trifle burdensome in a long or inclusive post. That what you meant? * Quotes and using the Quote function for responses - If you do use them, edit the quoted post down to just the piece you need for context. Just to keep the IC thread tidy. * Tracking combat stats in the IC thread - There will be no need for you to track combat stats in the IC thread, in every combat post I make I will put links to two shared Google Docs, one with combat stats (HP, AC, conditions and the like) and one of the map.  * I didn't explicity state it, but I encourage 'table talk' in the OOC thread. More vigorous tactical discussions, plans, you know, table talk. A good portion of it can come out in the IC thread and I encourage this as well, but it can be difficult to wrap realistic speech around mechanical rules (though I'm in a game with nerdytenor where he does a very good job at that). EDIT: Forgot, picking a language later is just fine.</blockquote>
