OOC Chat and Planning

divide evenly, any specials items we call dibs on, and so far the players have been pretty chill if two people want the same item.

Ok cool so just the dibs method and not really anything if person A got two more items than person B last mission so person B gets priority or anything regarding rarity of items.

Just thought I'd check before starting thank you.

We’ve been pretty fortunate that people don’t argue too much. I let the players decide who gets what items. Money is split evenly. I also try to have something specific to characters needs available, which helps.

👍

I'd watch that orange haired guy, he looks like a trouble maker :)

Sounds accurate

Sorry about the delay. My time zone is CET and I mostly have time to post in the evening. I would like to write a bit about the performance, so I will write it tonight.

If only Laulalith had a mike to drop now :-)

That’s a nat 20 performance in my books!

It was excellent!

Absolutely.

Looking for some input from the group.

I’ve historically posted some side quests as private notes. That way players have something that’s only theirs. However, that has come to bite me in the butt a couple times. Would everyone prefer to know everything that happens in the story? I know we can all avoid being meta about it.

Thoughts?

Also, the holidays are around the corner, gimme your Santa wish lists :D

I am ok with things being private. I agree that we can (probably) all avoid meta-gaming with the knowledge, but I don't need to know. I know sometimes it can feel nice to have a Secret Thing, and if people want that little warm fuzzy who am I to prevent it?

That said, not sure how it has bit you but I trust it has. We've been doing this long enough, I trust your judgement. Handle it however works best for you.

As for Christmas... I honestly haven't thought about what 37 might want. He's pretty self-contained. I can give it some thought though.

Oh man, what does the DM want for Christmas? VICE wants Cyre to be able to transform into a walking mode, but he may have to come up with something more reasonable.

I prefer to keep everything public. I think it's more fun to be able to have the option of reading what's going on. If a player prefers to keep their part of the plot hidden, then it certainly fine by me.

Maybe the default could be to use public spoilers? With the option of using private notes if a player prefers that?With a public spoiler, players get to decided if/when they read the spoiler, and I like that flexibility.

I do like the option of knowing ( and of others players knowing what my character was doing) comes in handy if someone forgets something.

Maybe spoilers tags are the way to go?

I also like keeping side quests out in the open for others to read and enjoy. I like the spoiler idea.

I don't think I have a preference, but I supposed I would side on spoiler tags as well.

For Christmas Torhak would like an Official Red Ryder carbine action two-hundred shot range model air rifle...or a fun set of armor, or a shield...or a quirky wondrous items. He's a big fan of novelty.

You’ll shoot your eye out!

😂😂😂 lol. No preference hidden vs out in the open. Hidden makes more role play available so we can talk about it what is not known to all more likely than if it's already out in the open. But good role play can happen either way. Thats more on the players than the system the game is setup. So it makes no difference to me.

Hmm maybe a mechanical eye in case madclergy shoots out my eye with his Official Red Ryder carbine action two-hundred shot range model air rifle. Lol

No but I can't think of anything off the top of my head but I'll think of something. Although a mechanical eye does sound interesting now that I think about it. And you can have fun narrating how I might have lost the one it's replacing. Hmm
