Default All-Voldur campaign (OOC)

Original thread.
IC thread.

Time to start! I'll set up the IC thread once we sort things out here. Some rules I propose for the IC thread:

1) All dice rolls are spoilered.

2) Spoken text is in quotes, thoughts are in italics.

4) Everyone gets a color for speech and thoughts. NPCs will use this brown thing, unless someone else wants it.
Spoiler

5) All rolls, including mine, are public. No fudging of dice. Sorry if you get critted early on and have to reroll.

6) Minimum post once every other day. You won't get kicked from the campaign, 'cause hey, stuff happens, but you will get NPC'd.

6) Maximum post, none. I personally don't want to post all the time for two reasons. I can only post in the morning and at night (I'm GMT -5), and furthermore, I want to give everyone their chance to participate, so if someone doesn't have internet access for one day, they don't come back and find themselves in the start of a battle with everyone waiting on their initiative when the last they knew they were talking to the innkeeper.

7) Double experience, but beyond that I'll try to calculate it the official D&D way. Leveling up mid-dungeon is fine, but no filling new spell slots or healing or the like.

8) Metagaming in here is fine. Discuss strategies and whatnot. I assume you all would talk about strategy out of combat (like, as characters).

9) Regarding combat, I'll update the map at the end of every round.

Anything else, let me know.

Also, for reference, characters:

Hmm, I've been using the color green for all my campaigns so far, so this time, I think I'll go with Blue

Great! As soon as WyvernLord/Harfil and hoverFrog/Klar'ith roll around/checks in (no pressure, no pressure), I'll get the IC up and running.

Also, I coulda said my mindset is that of a team game. I ran a campaign once where the feeling was like DM v. players, and that wasn't cool. I'll just try to run things, but I plan on doing as little DMNPCing as possible.

EDIT: I go to bed kind of early, by the way. Like before 10pm, but I'm in my office before 7am. So if I don't get to making the IC tonight, for sure tomorrow morning.

A dark olive green for the one with the toad familiar then. Just to let you know I'm in the UK so I'm GMT+1 till daylight savings changes again. It's 6:30am here in not so sunny England.

Well, I may be looking at the wrong sheet, but you've got no ranks in any skills.

Hey, will everyone post their time zone and about when they're active?

For me, GMT -5, active from like 7am to 10am, then 8pm to 10pm, with maybe a little in between.

The inactivity is due to teaching Calc 3 on one campus from 10-11, then Calc 1 on another campus from 12-3, then I go home to my wife and son, and I pretty much don't use the computer until he's asleep.

-4.5

I'm usually active 12pm to 3am my side, but it varies. And it also depends on if I feel I can post or not.

GMT+1.

I'm typically active between 6am and 7am and 9pm to midnight local time during weekdays and all kinds of odd hours at the weekend. I can also stop by to comment during the day from work but not for long as, you know, I have to work.

GMT -4

Usually active whenever I'm at home, but sometimes I do end up going out. So my active time frame is pretty random... Generally on all day though if I don't go out

If anyone wants to slow the pace down a bit for whatever reason, just say so. Also, if anyone missed an opportunity to say/do something, also just say so.

I couldn't even get on the forums all morning. I'm guessing technical difficulties. The pace is fine for me.

BTW I'm using the dungeons and dragons dice roller for dice rolls. Is there a better way?

There's an on-forum dice roller. For example, [.roll]1d20+4[./roll] would roll 1d20+4 for you. Make sure you get rid of the periods first though. For example...

(1d20+4)[22]

This is the example from above without the periods

Awesome. Maybe that will net me a result greater than a natural one. ;)

Hey that's good to hear. You mean inter-party or intra-party?

I'm easy either way. We know where he works now so we can always go back and find him if we need to.

Alright, here's Birch. Don't mind that thing in the top right. I can't figure out how to get rid of it.

1 is the big house, presumably Lady Thyri's. Currently the party is nearing the house numbered 2.

Just testing the dice roller. It isn't working for some reason (that's probably me) [roll]1d20+4[/roll]

OK, what am I doing wrong? I've removed the periods but I'm just seeing the text. [.roll]1d20+4[./roll]

EDIT: It must have been me. Never mind.
