[QUOTE="hbarsquared, post: 2120553, member: 4550"] [b][size=4]Posting Requests, Guidelines and Requirements[/size][/b] All posts are to be written in third person, past tense, narrative. I hope for this thread to be written in novel style, so I request that everyone playing to please maintain this consistency. Please use proper english grammar, punctuation and spelling. I am not an English Nazi, so I won’t kick you out of the game if you spell color, [i]colour[/i]. But please make it readable with quotation marks around dialogue, capitalization at the beginning of sentences, etc.. Thoughts are to be written in [i]italics[/i]: [i]I guess I’ll just have to go over there[/i], he thought to himself. Please use the following color codes when speaking languages. Because of the large number of different languages, and the varying abilities of people to communicate, it will be easier to keep track if we are all on the same page with what language the characters use. You may also include modifiers in the text to explain what language your character is using, but pleas always include the color, as well. [indent][color=darkred]Black Tongue (darkred)[/color] Colonial Courier [color=orange]Erenlander (orange)[/color] Halfling [color=cyan]High Elven (cyan)[/color] Jungle Mouth [color=olive]Norther (olive)[/color] [color=blue]Old Dwarven (blue)[/color] [color=red]Orcish (red)[/color] Patrol Sign [color=yellow]Trader’s Tongue (yellow)[/color] [/indent] [b][size=4]Combat[/size][/b] Please use descriptive actions during combat that still accurately reflect the actions, whether it be a move, a full attack, or a grapple attempt. If the action taken is not quite clear, or you would like to clarify it, please include an [color=slategray][b]OOC[/b][/color] description. For any actions that you would like to make that require a roll, please include those rolls (including all applicable modifiers) in an [color=slategray][b]OOC[/b][/color] aside. Include damage rolls and successive grapple checks, as well. You may either intersperse your [color=slategray][b]OOC[/b][/color] comments in the text, or gathered at the end. Again, your prerogative, as long as it's clear. Please use color to offset your [color=slategray][b]OOC[/b][/color] writing. I will always use [color=slategray][b]slate gray[/b][/color], as well as [indent] it, but your format is up to you, as long as it's clear. You are responsible for including all modifiers yourself, and rolling your own dice. I will trust all of my players. Here is an example combat player character post: [sblock] Ulfgar swung his greataxe in a great arc, aiming for the exposed shoulder of the orc, then swung again toward its mid-section. Instead of pulling back for third hit, however, the dwarf instead held his weapon in place as he reached out to grab the orc around the throat with his gauntleted hand. [color=slategray][b]OOC:[/b] Full attack action. First attack: 26, damage: 20. Second attack: 33, damage: 13. Confirm crit: 27, crit damage: 27. Third attack (grapple attempt, melee touch): 22. Grapple check (for lethal damage): 23, damage: 7 Ulfgar will take a five-foot step backwards if the grapple does not succeed.[/color] [/sblock][/indent] [/QUOTE]
