The Reconquista OOC

[Hypersmurf]

My character is totally done, Hyper, and is not being revised. Branding said 1/3 is outdoor by the book, and he would modify to have even more outdoor, with %50 outdoor, I am perfectly happy with my choices.

And I'm just glad I didn't decide to go with the mountain plate. 15 foot move in an outdoor adventure? Yowch

What? Otherwise we might have to wait a few months to find out if we need to make new characters to storm the castles with Statistically, any party I'm playing with probably has less than a 50% chance of surviving anyways. So, you know, just trying to help things out.

I really like this idea. That way if people's descriptions didn't quite match up, we could iron that out and then I could post all the finished intro on the IC board.

Works for me

I was originally going with mithril full plate and a mithril shield, and said, hey, my horse does my moving, who cares!

And now %50 ofthe time, I am SLOW. =) You wont slow us down any more than me, at least? =)

Hell, if I'm in my masterwork PJs, I move at 40! In Battle Plate, I still go 30. And Tumble, albeit badly

Oh yeah! Barbarian Dwarf! Hehe, ok, I am totally slow indoors.

[sigh] Now I'm looking at my equipment list, trying to figure out if there's a way I can come up with 9k in gold to make my Battle Plate mithral and keep my 40 ft. speed while fully armoured... but I probably won't bother

In answer to your questions. I perfer to do combat round by round. If the pregame is any indication this group will be posting frequently enough to may combat move along well. I too like the idea of posting the summaries of previous adventures here and them moving an edited version to the IC.

In answer to questions you didn't ask. I agree that is one of the all time greatest Dragon covers. And finally, given the repeated revisions I think Seeten should start and kill off characters in every past adventure summary.

Most posting has been hindered by my travels with an ancent laptop and only dial up speed. Once I return to my highspeed connections at home and work next week, I'll be a more frequent poster.

I am fine with round by round also. I can post frequently, even while doing other things, I have dual monitors, and this site is up on the second.

What's your preference for combat? Players giving general ideas of what they will do 2-3 rounds at a time, or fighting it out round by round?

I greatly prefer round-by-round (players posting actions at the beginning of the round, DM sorts them by initiative and lets them resolve, possibly changing them a bit to fit, in case they make no sense anymore, due to the resolve of any previous actions; players should be encouraged to consider what the other players have posted in terms of actions for the round already, even if they go after them in initiative, when posting their own action), since otherwise it's more like DM playing with himself!

As you said yourself, there is way too much change happening in a short time.

If you make maps for combat, it's even more important to go round-by-round.

Do you think these should go in thread, or in the IC thread?

I would make it a special IC thread, afterwards, we start another one for the "real" IC.

I've changed the current date to CY 591.

Isn't that the current year, anyways?

Bye
Thanee
