General conversation/OOC commentary

Sounds good to me!

I like it. I'm fine with my character being frustrated, but player frustration is a game killer

yes; i agree

I am still actively here but had a horrendous situation unfold yesterday (can this year get any worse? I don’t think so at this point) so if I misunderstand a post or don’t communicate clearly, please let me know. My brain is a bit … muddled as I cope with reality. My husband lost a his best friend since high school; a man I had also become very close friends with. They were basically brothers and were living together when I met my partner. Life is exhausting.


Vignettes are great

I'm very sorry to hear that; losing loved ones is very hard.

Take care of you and yours.

It occurs to me that, while it makes for easier reading/review later on, my practice of combining all the results of a given combat round into one post can be a little confusing and hard to follow while the turn is actually happening. What do you think?

I'm thinking about trying to do a bit more of a hybrid, with an initial post that presents all the results of a given round but also creating a post for each combatant's turn in the round. OK?

Sounds good to me! I knew what you were doing but it was still weird to see you summarize the post I placed later in the thread, lol

You could try just making each person's post a different paragraph in the main post if I'm understanding the conundrum correctly? Then people can easily see what each person is experiencing while also not having to do 20 posts for one summary (yes, I know that's an exaggeration).

I know, for me, your summaries are easy for me to read and I do like them a lot because it makes a lot more sense to see what all is happening at once when it's done like that, but I'm a heavy fantasy reader so I'm used to reading fighting scenes like that and I can decipher it just fine. I'm down for trying something new too, though!

I actually refer to the summary post to understand the order of events, so unless we're changing the way initiatives are done, I quite like the summary posts, otherwise I'd have to make sense what's happening myself, and it becomes difficult, such as handling things like when the Temp HP goes into effect and when it goes away (e.g. maybe it's cast before the attack, or maybe it's after, which makes a big enough difference).

That said, I'd also be fine if we change to using group initiative, which would simplify everything.

I to like the summery posts

I didn't know that, thank you for teaching me how to make my character public. I did so, you're welcome to take a look @runekyndig! Just ignore my section of items that are donations... they're definitely not things I stole... nope... *looks around innocently*

Yes, i like the summary posts, but sometimes I have problems finding the post I need to act, if that makes sense.

It have been a while since I used the standard d&d sheet, but I think your attack mods should be just +6, not 1d20+6
Example

I'll try switching it to that the first chance I get. Thank you!

I'm back! And I am sorry!!

The past two weeks were an absolute cluster... I had double shifts with no cellphone signal, my "other mom" had multiple strokes and hospitalizations, pet euthenasia, almost had to shoot someone at 5am last Sunday, my mom's birthday, and a highschool graduation.

I'm hoping this week goes back to normal. I'm burned out on excitement.

Sorry that any one of those happened, @MaJunior, much less all of them! Welcome back!

Thanks, I'm glad to be back. I miss my boring, uneventful life. Lol

Happy Midsummer! It's a big deal in Sweden with dancing around the maypole and singing songs about little frogs.
