1. I hadn't given it much thought but I would like to shoot for one post a day. If things slow I would try to keep things going.
2. I try to not do group combat. I do try to use a tactical grid when needed. I have been using excel.
3. I never know what to put for this one. But you can see my other game here.
As far as characters go play what you want.
Thanks.
Posting daily sounds good.
I was on the fence with either one (both are characters I want to play at some point). The summoner falls into more unique niche with the others, but with a larger party the extra healing would probably be most welcome. I was waiting to see what BinderFred might say, since it is his niche that I would be treading upon. He did not comment, so I will stick with the summoner. My previous post had her concept/sheet completed already.
Re: Maps.
If you are using the AP PDFs then you already have the meaningful tactical grids available. Google Image search will probably get them as well.
With about 2 minutes of image editing, you can upload the map to a site called Ditzie that will allow everyone to move their own tokens around. Making the tokens is pretty easy (30 seconds) to do with RPTools Token maker as well.
Ditzie.com is nice and it was made for PbP. The learning curve is not steep at all either. Bottom line, it would probably be easier/faster than making tactical grids in Excel.
Here is a game where we use Ditzie and you can take a look:
Barrow of the Forgotten King
For DMing, you would need to make an account to upload images to your personal gallery, but once you have it you can actually borrow images from other people too.
Would you be amenable to allowing the
Bodyguard Animal Companion Archetype?
I used the Charger Archetype on the cavalier I made. But then I was using a warhorse and it fit.
