[WFRP] Through the Drakwald - OOC

[Catulle]

Give me tonight to look over your character and will let you know if I have any questions. At first glance, everything seems to be in good order and I don't see any problems switching to pistol.

OK, I'll keep my eyes peeled (and try to edit the background into something concise in the meantime).

Regards,

Barry

OK I updated Jurgen... the XP I spend to up his BS and Int. Take a look...

Ok, I think that everyone is set with their characters. I should have the first IC post up late tonight or tommorrow afternoon. I wanna try something with graphic based character sheets, so I am gonna hold off on the Rogues Gallery for the moment.

Let me know if there are any questions or anything. Also, I set up a Yahoo Messenger account with the username jglamere and try to remember to sign on when I am at home just in case anyone wants to chat it up.

Posting Style Sheet

Ok guys,

Here is how posting should be done in the in-character threads. By having a style sheet, things will read better, look neater, and provide a better overall feel to the thread.

First of all, in-character posts should be done in present third person. This will greatly improve the readability of the thread.

Second, character name in bold, and gender along with race and current career in parenthesis should be included at the beginning of each post.
For example:
Ragen (Male Human Intiate of the Cult of Sigmar)
at the beginning of each of his posts.

Next, spoken dialog should be bold inside of quotes.
Example: “I hope not,” he sighs. “The only ones looking for me want me dead.”

Also, unspoken dialog/thoughts should be in italics.
Example: Never going to hit anything like this, he realizes.

Finally, any out-of-character comments should be included at the end of the post inside of parenthesis preceded by an “OOC” declaration.
Example: (OOC: Tempo will use his Bardic Knowledge ability to see if he knows anything about the local history.)

If you have any thoughts let me know.

If you have any thoughts let me know.

The only thing I can think of is that the present tense can be tricky to get my head around as a written medium. I certainly prefer the past tense if I'm reading over previous stuff. Of course, the flip side is that it's more difficult to jump the gun in terms of action resolution if you're using the present... Just musing, really.

Renton - I threw in an allusion to Ragen's presence with the wounded in my post which built on an impression your post gave - is that OK? If not, I can edit out.

Regards,

Barry

Hey guys just a quick update.

I really enjoyed the first in-character posts. This is going to be good.

Also, I would have had an update by now but I am having some house troubles that need some immediate attention before they get outa hand. I should have an updated post within the next 18 hours.

Catulle - No problem at all.

I take Cat's point about the tense... it does seem a little stilted to write. No doubt I'll get used to it, though.

Looking forward to see how this turns out.

Just a quick clarification - do you want us to use an online dice roller, or are we using the honoor system?

Just use the honor system, unless you prefer to use an online dice roller. I figure a small part of the fun of RPGs is to get to roll those lucky dice, so I figure we may as well use 'em.
