A Newbie Game (New to Enworld PbP)

OR a CN half-orc (or full orc) barbarian?

I have a CN half-orc fighter almost finished, but it might prove
interesting to have 2 half-orc tanks in the party. Especially
since we both chose CN.

Hyrag is the chief good aligned deity in the region, followed by Chennet then Grendath.

Hey! Who says...Grendath would (Cartmann voice) 'Kick Hyrag's Butt!"
Honestly, Grendathis one of the few Deities to have a Cleric so far...he is way cooler than (snore) Hyrag and Chennet...

I got my character accepted and am ready to go. I also figured out how to post my character form, thanks for the advice. By the way, I am all for having two large Half-orc's to fire my bow from behind.

Heh... gotta say, GaryH's deity needs more spark. Mine is lame, but at least he has a world creation mythos around him.

Good to know that we are getting ready to go. Does anyone need any instructions on how the game will flow before we start?

What do you mean by "how the game will flow"? Obviously I'm in need of instructions since I didn't understand the question.

I guess I intentionally asked a vague question cause I wanted to detail things a bit.



Basically, I assume your all familiar with posting and such. 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.

In the case of extended inaction on your part, or when I feel that it is necessary to speed through combat, I may assume your actions. You can tell me if you disagree with these actions, but I will try to be as reasonable as possible. Sometimes it helps me to know what you plan to do next, because of things like this...

Works for me.

Well, I think for a party of this size, we need at least 2 straight tanks. If the other tank doesn't pan out, I will make a tank, otherwise, I will probably go ranger, so we have some track and survival.

Will this thread be moved to "playing the game" or will you start a new thread? Just so I'm clear, also, we write our posts as though we are the character, not by saying "my character does this"?

This thread will stay in this forum (and I'll pull off the attention tag for a different one). Then, I will open up the game thread (the In Character thread) in the Living EN World forum and provide a link. You can continue to use this thread to ask the "big" out of character questions if you have any. Or you can ask in the general discussion thread (just say, "I want to know x" and someone will chime in to answer you).

Type it however you like. "Cid goes to the bathroom" and "My character Cid goes to the bathroom" and "I go to the bathroom" are all the same to me. I've found it easiest to say "Cid goes to the bathroom, and attacks the ogre with his giant oversized great vorpal keen sundering spatula of maimin (+178 to hit, 1d2+1 damage)" is helpful for the DM in quickly resolving your actions. That is, putting your modifiers up for skill checks attack rolls and such can make the DMs reply just a bit quicker.
