[QUOTE="Nonlethal Force, post: 2796500, member: 35788"] Okay - one of the busiest weekends of my life is now over. So ... I'll be back to my regular posting habits now. We have a few things to discuss as a party: First, now that combat is over, please feel free to post conversation style and as often as you desire. Second, The party has now earned experience for the first time. So this is a good time to bring it up. How would you like me to handle handing out experience? After each battle? Periodically when the DM feels like it? Only at level up? Or somewhere in between these options? It matters not for me, personally. My other games only get it periodically, so if you want constant updates after each battle you all might need to remind me until I get in the habit, but I do not mind. Third, How did that combat feel to everyone - especially those of you new to PbP combat? Were you able to follow my lead as a DM and follow it well? [I realize a few of you didn't do much besides run alot - sorry. But that was effected by the tactical selection of the party, too.] May I add, I really enjoyed the verbal flourishes you all put in describing your actions. Assuming they do not go over-the-top (like something out of Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon) without legitimate reason (like a haste spell) I would greatly appreciate that kind of posting to continue. Big thumbs up to all of you. I also really enjoyed how many of you spoke during combat as well. The more you all describe your own actions the less I have to and the easier my job is because I only have to post the results of the actions. Anyway ... I hope that combat felt okay. Good job!
