I am about to start the game thread for the first sequence, and I'd like the characters to introduce themselves here, and say a bit about how you know each other. So far, we have a boccord Shadow Warrior from the forest depths of Glounda, a human-raised crugar Querrid, and a crugar warrior (ex-militia), all working together to become citizens of Ardoth. They've worked together before, either as a trio or in separate pairs, and so know one another. But for our players' benefit, introduce yourselves!
-------------------------------
On an administrative note, I need to talk about time. Time in the Skyrealms of Jorune RPG is measured in sessions...but that concept doesn't really apply to PbP here on Gamers' Plane. Instead, I'm going to present the game in a cinematic way, breaking up the action into "sequences:" a sequence is one series of connected, contiguous scenes, usually one day's worth of activity.
As we begin the game, decide: does your character learn by succeeding with a skill, or by failing with a skill? Post that as part of your introduction.
At the beginning of each sequence (such as now), you will assign your foci to skills. Include your foci assignments as part of your introduction (read more detail about foci). Then, when I announce the end of a sequence, you will get to choose whether to attempt to improve skills with a focus, or to save the rolls for a future attempt.
I will announce when enough time has passed for you to regain stamina (read more about combat and healing), usually every few sequences.
In general, I will post system information (game mechanics and setting details) in the Jorune information forum. You may want to visit it periodically, but you might not want to subscribe to it (in case you don't want to receive constant e-mail updates).
Finally, we have at least one other player who signed up for the game and may yet join us; any players who join later will be worked into the plot as they arrive. Let me know if you think of anyone who might like an invitation to join us.
