(OOC) Transformers: Robots in Disguise!

[Brother Shatterstone]

Just waiting for a bit more information to come in before I post IC.

 

[Vendetta]

Yeah, your roll was low and you don't have much to go on to post IC at this point. But if you think of something you'd like Jackknife to investigate, you can roll it up and post that.

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

V if you want go ahead and just do actions for Jackknife... My wife has had the last 4 days off, a combination of being sick, but mostly being off for her birthday… Anyhow, I think I have two games up to date, but in all honesty I might have none…

Sadly she said she needed a break from work and I’m now at the point where I would pay them for her to work an evening shift… Anyhow give me a day or two I should be up to speed by then.

Since it takes an action to use your adaptive defense, we'll have you do that. It'll pump your AC to 19 vs. the Kickback clones.

Thanks boss! I'll be up to speed soon!

 

[Vendetta]

Sorry guys, my life went a bit out of control the last couple days and I never got to post the rest of the combat round. I'll post it up tomorrow evening. Sorry it's taken me this long

 

[Vendetta]

Hey, do you guys like this initiative method or should I toss it out and just get your actions and do up a round like the last battle?

I'm trying to "find my nich" with the PBP style of GMing and you guys are ending up my test bunnies. I'm hoping to start a D&D adventure soon using the world in my novel and a couple of adventures that I've DMed for my regular PnP group. I promise it will be better as I have MUCH more material

Anyway, I think maybe the combat is moving slow waiting for each person to post that is next (granted though, it was ME that was slowing things up there)... but I'm not sure... what do you guys think? How should I do this? (Don't say "what works best for you" please, as I'm new to the PBP GM battles and I like to figure out what works and get used to it, not just come up with a system and hope.) I kind of thought that last time it dragged waiting for everyone's actions to be posted before doing up the round summary... now I'm not sure which is better (or if there is a third, fourth or fifth option out there that works really well)

 

[Kalanyr]

I think everyone posting and then doing a round summary was faster. But in this case I don't think it would have been since Brother Shatterstone was absent, in general everyone posting and then doing a round is faster if everyone posts 1/day, otherwise the player by player method is probably better.

Aye, I agree... I'm also not sure if you want my next set of actions now or to wait till its Jackknife’s turn...

I'm caught up, so it shouldn't be much of a delay.

Also in my case, I needed the result of Stickshifts action, to post mine. I guantee you if Kickback had still been on my back, my actions would have been diferent. All in all, I enjoyed the battle this way. But it is slower. It appears that the majority would like to do it the regular way however. On another note, I would like to hear more about the D&D adventure you have planned.
