General Chat

A place for general chatting, about the game or other topics.

Outsiders can also post to this thread (so long as the game remains Public).

@Owlbeer: If you need help with site related details like creating a character sheet or submitting it to the game, don't hesitate to ask. I, or someone else in the game, will be more than happy to help you with that sort of thing. (Or anything else, or anyone else, of course.:)

Thanks for the invitation. I am sure there are still things to learn. But in my other game I just got on, it wasn't too hard to set up a character. This site is quite well designed.

I have changed the game name from Star Wars - Order 66 Survivors to Star Wars: Order 66 Survivors to keep with the Star Wars way of naming. Just in case this affects anyone.

I also welcome another name if anyone has one that works better. (I Survived Order 66 (and all I got was this lousy tee-shirt.) ... is more a t-shirt than a game name. (I don't recommend you wear that shirt...) :)

Nice t-shirt 😂

Kkkkkk

Gonna need a few days... pulled a tendon in my wrist and typing's a beach.

Almost sounded like you pulled a tendon typing! :)

Hopefully you recover soon. We will continue on, and assume you are following along with the others. You can add anything that your character would have done in the missed time when you are back.

Let us know if something happens that you would need to respond to and we need to wait, else we will keep going. Not too much should happen in 'a few days' in PbP.

Rest up and get well.

Wrist is getting better... slower than I expected... If all goes well I should be back in business by Friday.

Tendons are slow things to heal.

I've been keeping the heat to it and am wearing a wrist brace most of the time... It's feeling like its back to 90%... just being cautious as there's always the risk of re aggravating it.

I would applaud your dedication... but I don't want to suggest I would 'give you a hand'... :)

Seriously, taking the time to properly heal is such a hard skill to learn, getting to 90% and then re-injuring and having to start recovery all over again is such a common trope.

I was just doing some postings to get caught up in a bunch of games but realize I have a lot of reading to do to catch up in this game and its already late. My wrist is feeling good now so I will get my next post out tomorrow morning.

Great news!

That is good to hear. I wore a wrist guard for years after busting my wrist doing capoera

I started putting together a thread for chatting about how we roll dice, I had over 700 words written, but am finding it 'needless'. I can post my thoughts and 'simulations' if we really want.

But it boils down to:

If a situation is both risky and failure is interesting: Decide how hard it is to achieve our goal, decide what story factors come into play to adjust that difficulty, set a final difficulty from 1 to 5 and roll higher than that on a d6.

So:
"This is hard, 'roll better than 5'." (1 in 6 chance of 'success')
"This is easy, 'roll better than 1'." (1 in 6 chance of 'failure)

We don't roll when we don't have to.

We can easily change this simple rule later.

sounds good

Well done! :)

This way?
