[OOC] The Hivemind In Character!

[Jeph]

Perhaps Serai had brought a few small animals to the temple for some quick healing? Good place to meet up with the other 'religios types.' Just because she has divine spellcaster and monk levels doesn't mean she's religious! I look on her as more of a wilderness warrior, with the Monk level just there for unarmored fighting porpuses.

I think we should all post up:

Character name
Player name
Concept

And if each person adds the previous ones to his list, we'll get a good example of what everyone is, all together.

We have two more, so the total will now be eleven? That's a lot of people for me to get along with. i think we shall need scorecards!!

It's quite a number - but it should at least make things interesting!

But a few questions for garyh, creamsteak or similarly experienced PbPers?

1) What happens with die rolls? Do I do them all or do the players do them for themselves?

2) What happens if someone has to go offline during a combat or something? Do we wait? Do I take their actions over?

3) Equally important, what happens if I have to suddenly go offline or can't be around for a while?

-Someone who's just realized she knows next-to-nothing about how these things work!

 

[Jeph]

1) different GMs do this differently. Some say post the bonuses, I make the rolls, others say make the rolls yourself because I trust you, some do whatever's convenient.

2) Everyone has to go offline durring a combat. Combats take a day of four, unless they're 1-hit kill type things. I don't think they're ever done all in an hour, especially with such a huge player body. If someone takes a while to post, just do what you think they would have done, for the sake of alacrity.

3) Then we bump the thread every so often until you're back, or the assistant GM takes over if he has enough info. If you know you'll have to be offline, either tell us IC, via email, or in another thread; and maybe send some info to Creamy.

Well, that's what I've seen/inferred, anyway.

Thanks for clearing this lot up!

Mr Fidgit is online so hopefully we should see some character ideas from him soon enough. Haven't yet heard from Darkness though.

rubbing hands together

Looking forward to this a lot!

As it appears, whe have three groups that need to be combined:

arwink - male kobold cleric 2 of Xaine (CG) Takhop Hep
Horacio - male kobold bard 1/rogue 1 (CG) Horax -- entertainer
garyh - male goblin fighter 1/rogue 1 (N) Grashnyu Vix


Dragongirl - female elf rogue 2 (CN) Velandra
Sir Osis of Liver - male dwarven fighter 2 (CN) Grog-- warrior/avatar of chaos
Tallarn - male human rogue 2 (N) Marak De Vries -- burglar


Crothian - male orc paladin 2 of Brocem (LG) Gruchet
Knight Otu - male human sorcerer 2 (NG) Jepraith Marzail
Jeph - female human monk 1/ranger 1 (LG) Serei


that's the break-down so far...

so, i've been invited to play (ya! ) what kind of PC should i create? so far no one's picked barbarian or druid (probably tough to pull off in an urban setting) or wizard...

Hey there!

Barbs and druids might have some trouble in the big city, yeah. And Oashi is pretty much the biggest city around.

Wizard might be interesting, but again, it's (usually) a guild-membership thing. Just something to keep in mind. If you belong to guild, you will get instructions to obey and so forth.... note that, please, rogue types!
