Hmm, you make a good point about the work, Elocin. The reason I had been wanting to make all the rolls is because I like certain things to be unknown. For instance, you shouldn't know how well your Diplomacy check was. Maybe the people are humoring you, maybe they only want you to think that you've been persuasive, etc. Knowing the roll ahead of time kind-of takes the fun out of that.Elocin said:Hey Blue_Genie, woudl you like us to help out with the rolling of dice by using www.invisiblecastle.com or do you want to make them all. I only suggest this as it might speed things up and would take some of the weight of DMing a PbP off of your sholders.
In the end makes no real difference to me.

I guess for combat (where most of the dice rolling is), it matters less, because you can generally see the effects of your actions right away.
You know, Elocin, I've been convinced. Feel free to roll dice for anything where the result would be immediately obvious (attack rolls, damage, saves, and certain skill checks.) I'd like to continue making Hide, Search, and any social rolls (Diplo, Bluff, etc).
