Cold truths (Part 1: The Missing Duke) OOC

Hey play him up! Nice to have some role playing.

Post all you want. I feel that you have some tension as a DM, thinking that folks are going to say..."Hold up, I didn't get my turn!"

I have no doubt that this is at least partially true. I dont want anyone "left out" or "left behind".

In full on. round for round combat, that may be necessary to wait. But in non-combat situations I'd feel safe assuming that we have some party continuity. Marching order is more important for that, and we should determine it for, I guess, two situations. Cautiously advancing, waiting to get jumped, and searching room to room. The first would involve a heavy hitter up front, the second, well it's all about Swipe. In situations like this, I really feel for the spellcasters and appreciate their patience.

Heh heh. Pry true. Swipe is the main sneaky, possibly followed by Aleran.

Other than that, I say pick up the pace, mps. In my experience, most will follow in suit.

Planning on doing just that.

And when in doubt.....kiss John Fourr's butt a little bit:

If you like, I have an article passed on by my LOTR GM concerning "Warring Status". It's pretty much a guideline for absent players to declare how they want their characters to be handled. If we're all mature players (and GM), this is fine, no one cries if you're two squares off, as long as you don't become some sacrificial lamb. So let me know if you want a link or repost of this.

I concur. Especially with a situation like the current one, exploring a dark house, I need that "reaction from the world". The characters (and hence the players) can riff off of each other much easier in other situations, but for now, they're mostly observing and reacting, so they need something to observe and react to. I check all my threads several times a day, usually, and my interest in this game has only grown since the beginning, so no worries there.

I am still here as well but as stated before creeping around a dark and scary house isn't conductive to conversation so Aleran hasn't said a lot as well as the fact that he really doesn't know these people that well and to him they are kind of weird.

Heya,

Just looking at the map, Gerard hasn't actually moved into the room. He's standing in the open doorway keeping an eye on the stairs and corridor (and an ear on the conversation in the room).

Cheers

I thought you were the talker for the group?

 

[taitzu52]

OH NO! Me and Gerard have 8's in Charisma. Aleran and Tyler should be the front men.

I was told to keep me mouth shut that's one of the reasons Gerard's hanging back at the door, trying to prove a point

He wasn't told, it was just a suggestion.
