[QUOTE="Dlsharrock, post: 4220904, member: 55833"] [SBLOCK=tidied up OOC about interrogation rolls]Might as well thrash it out here, then afterward if all concerned could just edit their posts into SBLOCKs that would be helpful in decluttering. Rollplay. Roleplay will deal with far fewer dice rolls (if any, to be honest) and require a greater element of 'roleplaying' the answers out of the NPCs, leaving me to give responses based on what I think the NPC would say/do, not based on the random roll of a d20. It leaves you open to a lot of 'not the Elf's business' and demands choice dialogue. I've given an option for this, or for use of dice in a way that determines time restraints on the length of a round, removes ambiguity and ensures everyone knows whose rolling what, when and why. I'm not ruling out completely use of dice in the roleplay version, just relegating it second fiddle to my own free will and roleplay talents of the players. Then again, if we're going to delve deep in characterisation I'll probably put the dice to one side for now and we can dust them off later for the next combat action. Clearer?[/SBLOCK] [SBLOCK=Fenris]Well, that's a relief :) But you obviously didn't get my last email with the introduction one-on-one scenario I devised to get you involved quicker.
