Ivellious: Which spell are you dropping for CLW?

 

[Vigwyn the Unruly]

Sorry, Rathan, it would have taken two full rounds to do everything you posted for that round.

Retrieve potion -- move action
Take potion -- standard action
Stand up -- move action
Cast spell -- standard action

Ivellious: Which spell are you dropping for CLW?

I dunno why, but I thought I had one prepared CLW, but I'll drop divine favor, and sanctuary

 

[Rathan]

not a problem Vigwyn.. i didn't know if we were into combat rounds when he healed me.. I thought it started after that... my mistake... Laz will stand up and cast next round he's able to

Hello Vigwyn,

I apologize for intruding upon your game thread, but I hope you don't mind if I ask you a question about the maps you use for this game. Are you hand drawing the maps on graph paper, and then scanning them? Or, is there a computer program that allows you to use that blue tile background and draw in the map as you go? I ask because I think your maps look very simple (old school), yet highly functional and effective.

Again, sorry to interrupt. Thanks for your time!

-Sebastian

I'm just drawing it with plain old pencil on plain old graph paper, then scanning it in whenever the party sees more. Then I insert the image into PowerPoint where I add text. You can then group everything, select it, and save it as a JPEG. (Really, any number of programs would be useful for this part.)

In other PbP games, I have used more complicated methods, but I thought plain old graph paper would be more appropriate to the feel I wanted to foster in this particular game.

I jst use excel to draw the maps for my games. Not as old school as Vigwyn's, though, so they don't have that cool feeling to them.
