JubalBreakbottle Posted August 12, 2023 Clone Share Posted August 12, 2023 Hi team I suggest we set some posting expectations. For example, if half the players have posted to the same next step, then the GM is good to progress to that encounter after 48 hours. Maybe bot characters in combat if not posting within 48 hours. While I want every player the opportunity to post, I do want the game to keep progressing. And, the opposite, i don’t want to aggravate other players, because I’m usually a frequent poster on the weekends and daily during the week. The most important thing is that our expectations are aligned. cheers Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I would like to see this moving ahead fluidly as well, so trying to keep about 5 posts a week would be desirable. If your activity is not affecting anybody else, I will post a response to it as quickly as possible, if it is things that affect the whole campaign, I really want to see all players having there posts in before i reply. Example I was waiting for all to get out of the coach and deciding on their destinations before progressing, but I'm perfectly willing to reply to dialogue more rapidly. I'm not overly fond of the progressing after only 3 people have replied, as I have been in games, in which I did post daily and the action still was running away from me, I will try to avoid this here. If you know that you wont be able to post for a certain time span (eg going on vaction, trips etc) please let me know and I will take that into consideration.

Siryuu Posted August 13, 2023 Clone Share Posted August 13, 2023 (edited) ‘Sup! Well, I can make a daily post, even more. Hence, 5 a week is no problem at all. Because of the asynchronous nature of PBP I think it would be nice having DM input whenever we talk to NPCs, at least as long as it doesn’t involve triggering a change of scene that affects all of us or that must be discussed among us (eg. combat). On the other hand, maybe we could define a waiting time; and past that waiting time the character becomes an observer (protected from both positive and averse effects, but subject to the general/final results/fate of the active players). In my IRL games we simply say that the character is “put in a bag of holding”, appearing until the major situation resolves, if a major situation is taking place. Otherwise, the character just spawns.

CraterShip Posted August 13, 2023 Clone Share Posted August 13, 2023 I can usually post every weekday, and usually multiple times each day. Weekends are generally the only time I have with family all home, so can be busy and I can usually only check / post from my phone, which makes formatting a bit difficult. That being said, I am entirely comfortable being puppeted along for a few posts if necessary, or I can at least hop into OOC chat and give a general update of what I would be doing without a full story-like post Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JubalBreakbottle Posted August 14, 2023 Clone Share Posted August 14, 2023 We're going on a family vacation this Wednesday to Sunday. My posting will be very limited. Please bot me as necessary.

Shocker Posted August 14, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted August 14, 2023 So from what i’m seeing everyone is heading towards town masters home, or does anybody have a different goal in mind, just post a reply if you are heading somewhere else.

CraterShip Posted August 14, 2023 Clone Share Posted August 14, 2023 sounds right to me. I believe the plan was to head there, then the midwife's house outside of town Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that's the plan. I'm assuming the location is rather close, so I guess we could skip to the mission ASAP (if we all are done talking at the town). If we spend the night at the inn, we are going to spend gold on it, so if we don't need to rest I'd prefer to start moving. @Shocker Before we go I want to buy a mule. On the same track as our friends, I also suggested acquiring a map. Given that you're concerned about it, I'm OK if it's an "abstract map", something to justify we are marking the hot-spots and our findings, I don't need you to draw a map. 15 hours ago, JubalBreakbottle said: We're going on a family vacation this Wednesday to Sunday Enjoy! 23 minutes ago, Shocker said: Ok somebody please give me a perception roll Noted, I could roll right now, but since I've got PER +1 I prefer to have a higher level player do it.

Akwehawk Posted August 14, 2023 Clone Share Posted August 14, 2023 Not sure how to read that yet. Does that mean I rolled 15? Doesn't show. In the mechanics prior to the roll I put +5. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
