[QUOTE="DrZombie, post: 2339467, member: 15640"] A few more words on the DrZombie(tm) Gamesmastering style. This is gonna be a B-movie. Allright. You've seen quite a few of them. If not, go see a few. This means that, when you are in a living room, and something happens, dont go for: OOC:can I take cover behind a sofa? or even worse: OOC:I look for something to take cover behind. Just go: Johny blanches at the sight of XXX. With a yell, he jumps behind the sofa. On hands and knees he scrambles for the fireplace, racing to be the first to reach the firepoker. Or Jeeny screams at the top of her voice. She scrambles around, grabs the vase with flowers and throws it at XXX. Go with the flow. Try not to interrupt the game too much. If you're looking for small stuff in a room where it could be somewhere, it will probably be there. If there's a kitchen, there will probably be some big kitchen knives. But you'll probably will have to search for a few rounds to get it. Try to describe it, and leave it open so I can interfere. The difference between the two actions above are : the poker will be a pretty good weapon, and you might have to struggle to get it, the vase on the other hand will probably only 'stun' the opponent for a round, and I don't really mind that. I hope you see what I mean, and don't be intimidated or sumpthing, we'll work it out when we get there. If you do an action, or you want to roll for something do it like this: Spot 13=5+8 where 5 is your skill and 8 is your roll. mention any special modifiers you have. OK? Let's get this started then.
