Star Wars - Interlude IV: The Detritus of Destiny (CLOSED)

But there is a built-in dice roller right here on ENWorld. Why go offsite at all?

Quoting from the first post in the thread:

The dice themselves are an interesting concept and will require a bit of accommodation for the game to work as a PbP on EnWorld. The way it will work is the player will describe the actions they would like their character to take. Once described, the GM will roll using an online roller and post the results, at which point the player will post in the IC thread.

So that was my plan. You guys tell me what you want to do, we assemble a dice pool, and then I would roll with an on-line dice roller and post the results in the OOC thread. For example, if you were to tell me that your character was going to pilot the Sarlacc through a thin asteroid belt, I would determine that to be an Average challenge. The dice pool would be built based on your characteristics, skills, challenge, and any other modifiers. I'd roll and post an image of the roll:



Two successes and an advantage.

If you guys want to roll your own dice, we can use the alternate option contained in the book for using standard dice to achieve the same effect; it won't look as pretty, but has the advantage of using the roller here on EnWorld and lets the player's luck/probability to determine success or failure.

You guys can decide which you would prefer here, just post a response to that effect.

I'm all for letting you roll all dice, FF. That way we have someone to blame when it all goes to hades in a handbasket.

 

[gribble]

I'm happy for you to roll all dice as planned FF. Although it probably wouldn't be so bad for a PbP game, I'd prefer to see the results in FFG dice as per your previous post than have to translate to/from standard dice rolls.

 

[KahlessNestor]

Yeah, I'd rather not try and translate. Your proposal is just fine

 

[perrinmiller]

Sure, roll the bones, FF. I forgot about your proposal and really don't like that translated solution using typical dice.

OK, it appears that we're just about ready to go. I'll be creating an OOC thread sometime today. I hate to ask it again, but if everyone can repost their character sheets in the OOC, I would appreciate it. I know that formatting doesn't carry over, so if you would just like to do a placeholder post for now, that works as well.

I'll post up the OOC thread post and then add a few posts reserved for GM use. After that, please post your character sheets and then wait to post further in the OOC thread until everyone has had a chance to post their character sheets. Having them on the first page is helpful in my opinion.

Here's a link to the OOC:

Done. Also, note that you can preserve formatting if you edit the post, copy the text that shows up in the edit box, cancel the edit and then make a new post in the OOC thread and paste the contents of the edit box into it. Note that things like dice rolls and maybe image attachments won't be preserved, so you'll have to redo those if you have any.
