In the case where an individual member  of the 'losing side' rolls better than all other individual members of  the 'winners,' that character may act first in the inital round of  combat (surprise or round 1). Otherwise, unless a players specifies that  actions are to follow another character / event, actions happen in the  order they were posted. More than 36 hours or so delay for posting  during your turn in a combat may result in my NPCing the character to  keep things moving. * Feel free to use Invisible Castle or the EnWorld on-line dice rollers  for your characters. In general, I may or may not be posting my actual rolls,  just results. I may use the EnWorld roller more than other GMs, so if the dice at the bottom of a post starts overwhelming, you can shrink that down to a text one liner by changing your user settings.  Settings->Edit Options->Thread Display Options->Dice Roller Display->Streamlined.  GM secret rolls like Perception and Stealth will be done by physical dice. * I tend to post at any time of the day or night.   I may post "mid-round" combat updates as needed or "short responses" to questions more often than the characters.  If you're going to be away for longer than a couple days,  please let me know if at all possible so we can arrange NPCing if  necessary. I will generally look at your wiki character sheet for a "Intended next action" or "Standard Operating Procedure" near the top of the sheet for clues as to what to do.  * If you do not post for a week or more without notice, I may  end up writing you out of the adventure. You will still receive your  share of the XP and treasure earned as well as time XP and gp to the  date of your last post. * If your character gets enough XP to level they may do so at the end of  an encounter. This grants the extra hp, but does not heal damage, and  grants any additional spell slots, but not spells prepared. A caster  capable of spontaneously casting could use these slots normally, a  cleric could only use them for cure or inflict spells, a druid for  summon nature's ally, etc. Prepared casters may prepare spells in these  slots as if they had left the slots blank for the day, if they are able  to do so. They can go through the appropriate spell preparation as if  they had already rested if applicable.  If you are adding a new class that requires special materials, like a wizard's spell book, please PM me a little ahead of time so I can work it in cleanly. PS: My PM box hovers at 16 of 20.  Too many projects I have to track.* Mini stat blocks (preferably including a link back to the wiki page  for your character) and a picture for maps are quite helpful.  It is nice if you can colorize the major stats like Total HP, Current HP, AC, Weapon in hand. * If you have an interrupt or immediate action ability, please list it in your mini-stat block so I can attempt to weave it into the bad guy's combat at the appropriate time the first time around.  If you can take more than one AoO in a round, please list that too.* I mess up sometimes. Everyone does. Feel free to point it out.  I will try to retcon to fix if needed.  Sometimes, I will need to use the "plot device or special circumstances overrides the normal rules" card. We're all here to have fun, so I'll do everything I can  to facilitate that if you do the same. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> I think I have overdone it by now, let's get started.
