I'm not overly concerned with it all other than to figure out who these characters are.  Officially, it will have to all follow the story... but you don't have to hurt the ole noodle to make it all fit.  Fill in the blanks as you can some time when you're bored waiting for someone to post.  (Which, hopefully wont happen, but will, realistically)  With the basics in, I can then work more of the character's history into the actual adventure down the line as well as provide you with "insider" information when it comes up.Die rollers.I have various ways that I do dice.  I like to roll in combat because I like to get everyone's input for the round then do one big ole honking combat RP <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forums/showpost.php?p=1833511&postcount=170" target="_blank">Like this (from my, now dead, Transformer game)</a>  For me, its just easier in combat to have all the dice sitting in front of me and rolling when I need a number instead of scrolling through player posts for their rolls.Other times, I'll ask for die rolls, which means, you go ahead and roll the dice yourself and post your results.  If you want to use the die roller, sure.  (Heck, make up the roll in your head if you like, I don't care <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> (Though, i'll become suspicious when you've gotten your 4th straight natural 20)  I don't like to require people to go off site, though.  I'll trust players to make the rolls in these situations.  I won't ask for your bonus on something... if I need that for a roll, I just get it from the Rogue Gallery (So keep the characters updated when you get items and such that affect a bonus/skill/stat/etc)It sounds like players like character names in the title bar... so lets go ahead and do this at least until the game really gets rolling.  I personally don't really find it too needed because, when I read the post, its pretty obvious which character is acting <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />  However, in combat, it would be good to post your character name with "HP: Current HP/ Max HP" and possibly any other temporary modifier.  I'm usually pretty good at tracking it, but I do forget to write something down sometimes.Hope everyone likes the RP post and is anxious to get started.  Darn my luck that the forums will be going down in a couple hours and posts will be lost.  PWEASE COME BACK AND PWAY WIF ME WHEN THE BOARDS ARE STABLE AGAIN <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" /></blockquote>
