Rolling/Posting Conventions

Mar 7, 2021 4:28 pm
Given that the D00-Lite system uses a D00 instead of a D100, I felt we might need this thread to figure this out, and well, might as well put in some guidelines for posting as well.

- Rolling a D00. Simply put a normal d100 on the dice rolling field. We'll read any result of "100" as "00" instead. In the case of Advantage/disadvantage, if the result can have its 10s and units inversed for a more/less favorable roll, then it will be read as such.
Advantage example: a roll of "72" could instead be read as "27".
Disadvantage example: a roll of "19" could instead be read as "91".

- Bold text: Used for dialogue, your character actually speaking, potentially with the use of quotation marks. Reserving allcaps for yelling.

- Italic text: Used for internal monologue, what your character is thinking, potentially with the use of quotation marks. Alternatively, could also be used for sound affects and various onomatopeia.

- Colored text: Not entirely sure what to do with this. Could be used for descriptive text (i.e. boxed text), perhaps a flashback, or a cutscene (a bit like the old d6 Star Wars game used to do), or could be used to differentiate NPCs in the case of a social scene with several NPCs...

If anything else comes up, I'll put it here in a new post...

For rolling initiatives, since you keep the highest rolled die, you should probably node your dice (if you roll more than 1) in the dice field as "1d10, 1d10, etc" to make it easier to quickly select the higher value.

Normally, in a tabletop game, you'd place your initiative die on the appropriate space on your character sheet to represent your current multiaction penalty to avoid forgetting it. Of course, we can't do this here, so we need another solution. Keeping a tab of it on your posts, either written as is, in spoiler, or even in a note to yourself could work. I could also do it in my own posts. Any other suggestions?

Some GM make a little chart with those numbers on it and when they write out the results and such of combat, the copy and paste it to that. Some even highlight what the next person up is.

Hmm, maybe if I reuse my whole battlemaps on google drive ideas, perhaps I could list those there as I do have a small section below where I can atcually write something down, a bit like how I did back during The Age of Shadow game?
