Oh...there is a die roller...just needed to scroll down further...

Here's hoping this roller is better than the Rpol roller!

Rolls

Attributes (or point buy) - (4d6h3, 4d6h3, 4d6h3, 4d6h3, 4d6h3, 4d6h3)

4d6h3 : (5664) = 17

4d6h3 : (5255) = 15

4d6h3 : (1116) = 8

4d6h3 : (2131) = 6

4d6h3 : (3453) = 12

4d6h3 : (6543) = 15

Money - (1d10)

(6) = 6

17, 15, 15, 12, 8, 6...I definitely can't complain :)

@Sardis @TheAbyss in order to assign you to a team I would like to ask you answer - how do you feel about:
1. Seldom DM posts story progress too soon and you missed opportunity to contribute to previous scene
2. Seldom Story narrative ignores the action your PC performed (not because of a bad roll but because DM just think it is nor relevant for the story)
3. DM do not let me try alternative solutions after my initial attempted action failed

Oct 31, 2023 1:11 pm

1. It happens. In PbP, sometimes its necessary
2. DM is in charge of story progression, so if an action is unimportant, its unimportant.
3. Sometimes I'd like to try alternate solutions, but most times we're probably pressed for time and can't.

Oct 31, 2023 1:14 pm

I'd like to either play a paladin/fighter in the second group or a rogue/artificer in the first.

1. If the story progresses before I've had opportunity to contribute then it means I haven't been available (given I should be able to post many times a day most days, I don't see this as an issue...but if I miss a day and things move...I'm good with that; as I've played in too many games where the GM sits and waits on all players to post and a week+ goes by before a post moving the game along occurs. Excessively slow pace of game is one of the major death knells of a "play by post" game.

2. If it isn't relevant, it isn't relevant. If relevant actions were being ignored that would be a concern, but if it isn't relevant...ignoring it allows the pace to remain. Will you state in an ooc message that you didn't feel an action relevant? and if not, do you mind receiving a private message seeking simple confirmation of that fact...to eliminate the possibility of an action being overlooked? as that has been a bigger issue for me in the past in games I've played in...GM's overlooking an action vs simply deeming it irrelavent/unnecessary.

3. The DM is the DM. If additional attempts to resolve a problem/challenge are not permitted, so be it. One has to be able to roll with the punches.

Also, is it rolled HP or average?

DM

HP Average.
I've just failed an insight check with my questions, LOL. OK you can chose a group yourself based on this:
One group will have DM waiting for all players before continue, but compensate less post frequency by railroading (stay close to my original story idea)
In another group I try to adjust or even tailor the story around player actions, but I don't wait for more actions than enough for me to move story forward

Oct 31, 2023 4:04 pm

I prefer whichever group has the faster posting rate.

I guess my question then would be...what is your average posting rate...will I need to be able to post numerous times a day just to keep up?

DM

Oct 31, 2023 5:47 pm

Ok looks like I'm putting @Sardis intro a faster group, though due to numerous reasons (mostly due to my vacation) we have not yet established a peace, but I hope it would be a post per day in faster and every other day in slower, but I will try to adopt to player peace.

Oct 31, 2023 5:50 pm

I'm fine with whichever group.

I'm going to be a paladin 11/Fighter 4. I'll be a tank and face.

Sardis says:

So, when I first saw the game my plan was to go with a Warlock using the "Raven Queen" Patron, but then quickly discovered Unearthed Arcana isn't permitted...so then I was going to go with a Ranged focused Warlock (Eldritch Blast, Eldritch Spear, Eldritch Agony, Lance of Lethargy, Rappelling Blast, Grasp of Hadar) but it seems we already have a couple of warlocks. I'm open to going a different direction; what do you guys see as a need for this team?

The other warlock is a hexblade focused on melee and while I am also a warlock it is only 3 levels as my emphasis is on Aberrant Mind Sorcerer. A dedicated range warlock would work fine IMO
