DM OOC thread for Loex'edar

[scout989]

Hello, I'm scout989 and I'm currently running a game here on ENWorld PbP. This game, which has dragons as PCs, was supposed to have two DMs when we began recruiting. However, my co-DM ran into a few spots of trouble and is no longer able to help out. So, I am recruiting another DM who really understands the ins and outs of aerial combat to help adjudicate and track all things combat-related for that game.

There are seven PCs in the game, so it gets very complex very quickly (as I have been discovering so far!) to track everyones' position on a three-dimensional battlefield hundreds of feet in all three dimensions. Anyone who would like to apply for the job, please be aware- having some good mathematical abilities and a lot of attention to detail will be important!

The only other job requirement is that you be able to keep up with all of that and post 2-3 times a week minimum, when combats are under way. Something that is not a requirement, but will look very good on the resume, is access to some method of creating maps for the players- and if anyone shows up with the capability to make three-dimensional maps they are hired on the spot!

Compensation- the undying gratitude of all of the players and I. Anything beyond that, we'll have to negotiate.

Thanks in advance to anyone who applies for this position.

Applying:

I can keep track of three dimensional points very well but not so much on the dragon's actual form, I can not export 2D or 3D graphs but have them where I am.

Check out the IC thread here. If you can do at least as well as the (horrible, slapped together, almost useless) map that I came up with in my limited time, we can talk. Also check out how the combat is going, see if it's something you think you can do.

never mind tailspinner did it already...
I can still help if you want though

Thank you, Tailspinner, for a very effective system! Are you applying for the job, even though you're playing

 

[Guest 11456]

Sure! I can do that. Just let me know. Anything to move things along.

Well, I like the system you have. If you have the time to devote to maintaining the maps, I'd love to hire you on. Tell you what, would you care to post up a map showing everyone's new positions, based on their stated actions? If so, let me know and I'll furnish updates on where the DK are going to be as well.

Thanks so much, Tailspinner! This would be a serious weight off of me.

 

[Guest 11456]

I think it would be best if we repost the map to allow the players to better understand the play field. Also, it would help if they were to decide on a location that they end their movement on.

 

[scout989]

Sounds good to me- go ahead and post there (I'll explain in the OOC thread), and we'll get this show back on the road.
