*Tinker-Tinker-Hammer-Torque*
***Ka-Boom!!!!***
Froud staggered outof the Lab, covered in blue-black soot...'That wasn't it...maybe a bit more Sulpher...'

<BUMP>
 

Forge looks on in amusement. Fraud ya silly git. It's na the sulpher.. it's the way your doing it. It goes *Tinker-hammer-tinker-torque* every Dwarf worth his beard knows that! Oh and BUMP.
 

Okay, IC thread up here.

As I said, please roleplay amongst yourselves for a bit, I'd like to get everyone posting before I go on too far.

James Asmuson will have Herodotus Fallmere as an academic advisor.

None of you necessarily have to know one another, but you have at least seen the others around campus.
 

Okay, it's feedback time: I'm wondering what happened to everyone and how the players who are still playing feel about the game.

What stuff do you like? What things could be improved? What am I not doing that you'd like to see? Like I said, this is one of my first attempts at PbP and I'd appreciate any comments you can give me to help me improve. What do you guys think about the pace of posting? Too fast, too slow? Is the narration too dull? Are the characters uninspiring?

Please let me know.
 

Well, it would be nice if the posting was more frequent from everybody, but otherwise I think the game is going pretty well.
 

Another question: I've been doing a lot of rolling behind the scenes and just telling you the results of it in the narration. Do you guys mind that, or would you rather all the die rolls be listed?

Yes, I expected a slightly higher frequency. I don't mind the pace too much, as in the end it's just a game and it is moving along, albeit at a very leisurely pace. But I'm not sure what happened to some of the players since they haven't posted in weeks.
 

Once again, I'm soliciting comments on how the game is going. I am curious on where you guys see the game heading. Currently my plan was to keep the game wide open. I don't really have set adventures or modules to send you through, I try to drop a lot of hooks and you guys are free to investigate. So you are free to investigate the murders if you wish... but if you don't, the world won't come to and end (not directly, anyhow ;)).

So here's another question to add to those I ask above: is there anything any of you would like to see? There's a lot that's going on in the city, and I can easily add requests (which might be tweaked, of course).

That's another thing I suppose I should mention: I may mess around with the stat blocks and even abilities for certain monsters. No guarantee, for example, that a griffin won't have the ability to summon air elementals or poisonous talons. I will let you know if this is something you should know, but you should only assume that the core races will be standard.

I also would like to keep a mix of playing modes - some combat, some character interaction, etc. Please let me know what your preferences are as well, so I can tailor accordingly.

Finally, I will be handing out a certain amount of experience based on encounters overcome and a bonus will account for activeness, characterization, and anything else I feel like. The first time I award xp, everyone will be given the same amount. After that, I will be doing xp for each individual character.

Ok, that got much longer than I thought it would. As always, feel free to ask any questions.
 

I'm enjoying the game.

As for style, I personally prefer Roleplay over combat, and have been pleased that the game has been taking this route. Not that I don't like combat, but character interaction is something I find much easier to do.
 

I am having fun as is. Some of the games I am in are very combat heavy (which I love), while some are very Roleplaying oriented (which I love as well).
This one has a lot of character personality/ies coming out from the various players, which is very cool.
All in all, I am enjoying it very much, although i think that Argent Bribed you so that his smelly Dwarf would beat Froud in the drinking contest...:D


Off-topic: Sixchan, the 'Dungeon' game is back up,<waiting on Aska, hint hint>. :|
