Re: Re: Everyone please read <<Character Generation info here>>

Sounds great!! Buuuut....



...did you mean to include an attachment? Or were you just refering to the two points above?

Oh, and one Dunadan Noble coming riiiiiiiiiight up!! Well, probably by tomorow.

I actually did mean to include the 2 advancements. I want to get things moving fairly quickly and I'm justifying the advancements by assuming that just getting to the Rendezvous will warrant some experience being awarded. By the way, it is optional, but I'm assuming folks will want to take advantage.

I'm down with starting XP. Makes sense, too.

One thing, also - we'll need to divy up the PCs to be made for those without books. I'll work with Darth Ecks, as I know him and can IM with him as I design the PC. I'll do others if needed, as well.

How many are we talking about?

 

[garyh]

Book - Arador, ColH, garyh, Doug Justice, Daiymo (I'm pretty sure)

No Book - Darth Ecks, mirthcard, rangerjohn, Inez Hull

I'm not sure which of Daiymo or IH you were going to add as the 7th...

Actually, I think I missed that there were two extra potential players. Who asked first?

 

[garyh]

Daiymo, by 3.5 hours.

Daiymo, by 3.5 hours.

So, I could handle 8 in a face-to-face game. In your opinion, are the logistics of character management and story flow more demanding; less demanding; or about the same in a PBP game as in a real time game? Also, what do the original players think (you can send me private email at arador359@hotmail.com if you want)?

I'd say PbP is less demanding than face to face. A relatively fast game has a post per PC per day. As a DM, that still gives you a good deal of time to digest and reply to the player's posts.

I'm in several games with eight people, and it works fine as long as two don't just sit on the thread chatting for three hours in character, and leaving the rest of the group behind.

Another thing to think of is that sometimes a player will disappear from a PbP game with no warning. If you start out with 8, a dropped out player or two still leaves a good sized group.

OK! In for a penny, in for a pound; as they say!

We're capped at 8! the player list as I understand it is as follows:

Narrator: Arador
Player 1: Garyh
Player 2: ColonelHardisson
Player 3: Doug Justice
Player 4: rangerjohn
Player 5: Darth Ecks
Player 6: mirthcard
Player 7: daiymo
Player 8: Inez Hull

Does that jive with your list, garyh?

 

[garyh]

Does that jive with your list, garyh?

Indeed it does, arador!!

Eight companions, to counter eight rid-

Oh, wait...
