Fallen Angel [OOC] - Calling all my players!

Rybaer · Jul 3, 2003

First game I've played in, so I can't speak much for formatting and turn structure. I guess I'm cool with you chiming in whenever you think it's appropriate. Once in a combat situation, timing might need to be a bit more structured around initiative order.

I don't think there are really any hard and fast rules for the frequency of posting by the DM. My opinion would be to give everyone a fair chance to react before posting a DM update. This will make for a slightly slower game, but will keep everyone involved and avoids consistancy mixups due to people not getting the chance to get a post in with their actions.

In this case, I think everyone should get a chance to post their first reactions. Once everyone is involved in something, you could give short updates for each character. You could just play around with it, see what you like best.

Also, a suggestion: Would it be possible to set up a thread in the Rogue's Gallery, where we could post our character info? This way, we don't have to dig around in this thread to look for our stats.

Sure here is a thread in Rogues Gallery to post our characters;
http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=55465

Please post just your character sheets over there. Char Sheet or Stat block format, not picky really.

I have not run a Pbp game before and the first one that I am playing in is about to get off the ground so I am unsure of the protocol for the frequency of my posts. Would everyone like me to post whenever I feel like it? or would you like me to wait until the entire party has posted to the thread before I reply?

That´s more an art than a science. If you feel you should give everyone a chance to react, then wait a day. For situations where speed is important (say, exploring a dungeon and choosing if going left or right) then read the answers so far an follow the majority.

In the pbp I´ve played, it´s rare the situation where everyone agree. I´ve been days in fron of a door debating if opening it, and how. It´s up to you how to solve that situations, either doing what the most people want, making charisma checks, or otherwise.

Note that this will be a really short game (its only a 9 page module) but I can continue it if there is interest. With that note, lets begin!

That´s probably the best way to start a campaing. I´ve seen many DMs that started with campaings too vast and ambitious for pbps.

Okay well then for atleast the first part I will let every one post once before I post. Then after that I will play it a bit more by ear. Say around once a day, depending on the situation.

Posted my character with the changes you added in, and a few minor changes in my equipment list. Mainly, I sacked a potion of truth and added in a Wand of Unhand (BoEM II) (Disarms from a distance), tell me if this is ok.

Erekose13 · Jul 4, 2003

yup all looks good.

Erekose13 · Jul 4, 2003

question to those in the game, as you know i am not up on pbp etiquette, but i dont know how to respond to the person who has just dropped their post in our game.

Sollir Furryfoot · Jul 4, 2003

er, yeah, I kinda reacted to that thinking that it might have been someone who didn't post their char in the rogue's gallery, but seeing as they haven't, i'll edit my post.

Generally that doesn't happen, it's a bit rude (although it may have been a mistake on the part of the person) and I think the best course of action would simply be to ignore it, and at the bottom of your post ask the person why they did post.

Edit-if necessary, you can email a mod or ask one (in the meta forums or this one, I'm guessing) to delete the post.

Edit-Looking over the other chars myself, Michael's init should be +5 since he has II.

Heh, glanced over the Rogue's Gallery and we seem to have 5 human males out of 6 characters. That's pretty odd.

EDIT: You mean Agudo? It's his first post, so I assume it's a newbie mistake. You should report the post to a moderator (using the link in the post), saying a newbie accidentally posted there. Also, you could send an IM to Agudo, telling him to read this thread: http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=44778 . I'm saying you should do it as the DM to prevent 7 people from all sending the same messages, but if you want, I can do it.

Also, could you rename this thread to 'Fallen Angel [OOC, Full]' or something along that nature?
