TinyChat

okay,.. im off here. severe thunderstorms rolling through including a tornado watch, it looks like it's going to be a doozy. May lose power & internet any second. Chat with y'all tomorrow assuming we still have a starlink attached to the house in the morning. lol

Be safe

Seconded. I know Florida t-storms can be rough.

Im turning in for the night. feeling a little under the weather. Y'all have a good night.

Greetings all. Just submitted a character and will await our GM's comments on the same. Looking forward to see you in-game!

Welcome aboard, palemantle!

@fnlyre,@LizzyPinkHood,@palemantle : The Patrol thread is just kicking of HERE. This is for newcomers and will walk you through the site, setting, system and game. Expected posting rate 3+ times a week but this is flexible as needed
Preslynn is already on the thread talking with Danoll. Tuit Naverson and Emilla should join him

@Marmy49,@GooberMcSnorford : The Library thread is an ongoing quest delving into the city ruins. I am recommending you go HERE to join the quest.

@Psybermagi,

My last post in the Tunnels thread was a request for clarification. Once I get those answers, I will state Skeeve's next actions. (Most likely attacking again.) Thanks!

Cheers, @ForeverDED.

All a bit new to me but I'm enjoying your guiding hand and the descriptions of the environs on the swampy trek, so thanks @Psybermagi.

You're welcome :) I am still working out a system to make sure all the relavent point of the site, systems, setting, and game are introduced so speak up there are any question.

Just a heads-up to say that I don't understand combat mechanics at all and so, by (my) necessity, Arry will wait and follow everyone else's lead in the Patrol thread. Will try and take a peek at the Library and some of the other threads in the meantime :)

rThis system tries to keep things smple. The Refference \ What is Tiny D6 page and ~Tiny Info~ sheet have a information to help. This is the secton from the info sheetBasically things are broken into
Time : Rounds where the party and enemies take turns. when it is the parties turn everyone gets 2 action and players can post in any order. I do this so that players can post when they have time and find it speeds things up.
Space : Zones (near, far, vary far) where moving around inside a zone is free. So running up to atack an enemy in the same zone as you does not take an action. Ranged attacks take 1 action to ready/load and need to be against enemies not close to you. So if the party is surrounded by enemies in close and there is no where to retreat then you can not shoot. If you want to evade attacks yo need to declare so during your turn, and then on any attack that hits you get to roll at disadvantage(1d6) to negare the damage

@palemantle, check out the Tunnels thread. There have been several combats in there, including the goblins, the ghoul, more goblins, and the not-mummy. (Oddly enough, I think we've avoided the derro.)

In those examples, they are usually very close in (after all, tunnels) and everyone pretty much just does the two attacks. However, the primary other options for one of those actions are: focus, evade, and move.

Focus means that the following action will succeed on a 4, 5, or 6 instead of just a 5 or 6. Statistically, in combat you are pretty much always better off just making two attacks. The border cases are very rare.

Evade gives you a chance to avoid a hit. If you have the Shield Master trait, it is likely you will use this frequently. On the other hand, a duende will never use it because they basically are evading at all times for free. So, if you make only one attack and evade, then for each hit that turn you can roll a single die and on a 5 or 6 you will not take any damage from that hit.

Move lets you move however the GM defines it. I believe here that basically means moving from one zone to another. To run away, you are pretty much required to move for both actions.

Does any of that help?

Makes sense, thanks @Psybermagi.

Many thanks for penning all of that, @daryen. I think I understand what you're saying. I'm going to go away and spy on the Tunnels thread to see how's this done in practice, especially moving.

Don't know the best place for this. I'm away a couple of days. Will post before the evening of the 10th at the latest. Apologies for holding the Patrol up a bit.

Thanks for the heads up. Here or as an ooc in the story works, though I do prefr thinks like this here.

I am going to be gone for most of tomorrow and part of Wed. I'll repeat this next week, too. Please feel free to have him scan, perceive, talk, and shoot in NPC mode if needed.

Noted, thanks for the heads up

I just realized my post on Tiny D6 missed some information on how ranged weapons work. Here is the updated/corrected details
If you picked ranged and would like to change to light I am fine with this.

I’ll be honest I was pretty sure it was only one attack per turn, but others were doing two so I started doing it too 😂. But yes I would like to switch to light.
