OOC Discussion

Thanks for the heads up. I suppose the most important part is just being able to keep up with the game and post something when you've got it. Honestly, even if it isn't profound and game-changing writing, feel free to put something simple or "boring" just so we know you're there and that there's no protest to moving forward. :) That is, of course, assuming you've got the time. Sometimes we're just too busy.

Make sure to let me know if you get too busy, though.

I will be extremely busy the next three days. I may be able to make short posts now and then, but can't promise anything. Go ahead and move my characters along and roll for me if necessary. Thanks!

Thanks for the heads up!

Of course! There is also an Absences thread for this sort of thing. Being in so many games I usually post notice there instead of in every single game's OOC thread.

I doubt I'll want notifications for that thread, but if ever someone isn't posting, I'll make sure to check there before I get worried.

Seems like it was a relatively slow day for us anyway. Everyone still doing good? Please be sure to let me know if things are not 100%. I wondered if my attempt at song scared people off. :)

All good. My schedule is just getting quite busy. I probably won't be able to post as frequently as I have been...

I desperately want to add something to the story this evening, but am so close to falling over from exhaustion. I'll be able to add something tomorrow evening. Apologies for the delay and the lack of notice, Today mostly sucked.

No worries! We've been going at a pretty quick pace. Slowing down here and there is toootally fine.

I've had a crazy and immensely busy past couple days, so I'm sorry if the post quality hasn't been up to the typical standard. I'm running on one hour of sleep taken within the past 50 hours, so I'm going to head to bed now!

You guys are a blast to run a game for, by the way, so thanks for playing!

Sleep! And then sleep some more. Life seems to be happening for all of us.

I've been busy too, so that's why my posts slowed. I'm content not doing much else for the time being. I'll just chill until the next big thing.

If your characters are wanting to do the expedition on the next day, just have them go to sleep whenever and we'll pick up with them all packed to leave!

So I'm going to do the EXP calculations. When I award EXP, it's for social encounters, fun RP, evading/disarming traps, etc. It's not just combat, so typically I'll just calculate it all up when the PCs go to sleep.

Additionally, in my other games I usually just keep everyone at the same level and people all level up in unison. Do people like this, or would you prefer that I calc. exp separately and PM people, since you've been having separate encounters and discoveries? I'm okay either way, so I'm just checking to see if anyone has a preference.

Generally, I prefer party leveling. It keeps things pretty fair and in general is just less hassle

With this format, party leveling sounds more fair and useful to all players. A whole day is so far 8 pages here. Having a single party member who is a lower level for even 5 pages because he or she didn't do enough encounters doesn't sound as enjoyable for that player and may make things a tiny more difficult for you when stat-blocking.

Party leveling it is! And it is easier, so I'm grateful. Thanks guys. :)

agreed!

OMG! I love how Tarrasque is actually asking and I'm totally just jacking the book. That's perfect.

I was hoping to have the time to post this evening, but had a deadline with work that stretched lo anger than I wanted it to. I will be posting morning/early afternoon tomorrow.

Haha, I'm loving the differences between the characters.

And no problem. Thanks for the notice!
