A Newbie Game (New to Enworld PbP)

[CCamfield]

Hmm... I'm not keen on Marl exploring the mines entirely on his own. But he'll press onwards... Creamsteak, were you expecting him to react differently? Start a confrontation that the others would hear?

Speaking of hearing, I hope *someone* in the party will succeed at that last Listen check...

 

[Creamsteak]

Um... can't really tell you what I expected out of you until well after we're out of that corner. Sorry about that, but it's for the game.

 

[CCamfield]

Fair enough, I suppose.

What's the etiquette with regards to who rolls dice? I think till now I've been letting the DM roll dice (in the background, if need be) for stealth stuff, and I see that Jolmo (aka Jagos) is doing the same. But recently the rest of the group was asked to make their own Listen checks.

Darnit, I've forgotten how to use the die roller again anyhow.

This is what has been said on rolling dice:

If your going to make a diplomacy or move silently check, you include the out of character notes in your post for me to follow. I roll the dice, and tell you the results through the game. In combat, I will roll up initiative for everyone, everyone will post their actions, and then I will execute those actions and return the results.

I will roll dice when you don't call for them for things like spot, move silently, listen, diplomacy, bluff, sense motive, and spellcraft. There are other instances where I will do that.

Some methods for dice rolling are the "DM rolls all the dice" which I will use unless you call the dice using the Enworld dice roller. In other words, if you want to make a skill check, diplomacy roll, caster level check, or any other dice roll that only requires your own rolling, you can use this code. Note that the maximum is 3 dice per roll. The dice roller works like this:

{Dice=3}20{/Dice}

Replace {} with [].

I'll roll all uncalled dice, and any time that there will be piles-o-dice to roll (combats mostly). It's not a requisite to play, just a tool we have.

Thanks, Jolmo, that was a great review.

I'll be away, travelling, for about ten days starting on monday. I'll try to get a post in if I can get some internet access, but I'm not sure if I can. I hope this won't be too big a problem, and please NPC Jagos if I take too long to post.

 

[CCamfield]

So... what's going on with the game?

 

[CCamfield]

Well, I know this is really crappy timing, but I'm leaving for Japan tomorrow. AND I discovered only on Friday that my Internet connection in my room is not set up yet. But my roommate should have a connection and maybe I can plug my laptop into that, or perhaps I will be able to find a cybercafe.

Creamsteak, maybe you can run Marl as an NPC if you don't hear from me for a couple of days? I will be back...

I'll do so for a bit.

I'm closing this thread now. You should post your OOC questions and such in the game thread as this is a LEW concern now that this has gone on for a bit.
