Message: <blockquote data-quote="FitzTheRuke" data-source="post: 8618355" data-attributes="member: 59816">I should warn everyone: When running PBP, to keep things moving along, I don't use Initiative (except in rare instances when it's really important to make sure something happens before something else). D&D combat exists in an abstract between simultaneous and consecutive actions. Here, it will be slightly more simultaneous than "regular" games. In practice, that means that I tend to have PC attacks "aggro" a response from monsters (though I will usually let ganging up on a monster take it down before it attacks, if that seems like the players' intent). Unless the PCs are surprised, they generally go first, and it's essentially done in the order that people post, though I have the GM's option of resolving the round in whatever order I feel like, when doing so is either more awesome that way, or doesn't really matter either way.In the rare case of conflict, we can discuss it here OOC and work it out. I've never had any problems with it. (I have had a player confused by it, but usually that only happens if they can't let go of how it normally works and just go with it.) It's important to keep things flowing. PBP is slow as hell at the best of times, and waiting for someone to take their turn is the worst of it, so we try to avoid that as much as possible.The OOC (which will remain this thread, unless I decide to separate Groups one and two) is for any conflict and feedback. I am an open-book type, and I welcome any discussion you might like to have. Don't be afraid to talk to me about anything. Oh, and if you have to quit for whatever reason, just LET ME KNOW. There will never be any hard feelings. We're here for the fun of it.</blockquote>
