Hello everyone and welcome to the mega game. Just a few quick notes before we get started.
Posting
First off, the posting rule. The guide says one post per day and I would like you to stick to that.
However, most of us are pretty busy during the weekends (myself included), so if you can't make a post I'll understand. However, I do expect you to post once per day Monday to Friday.
I'm not gonna wait for slow players nor will I PM you if you miss an opportunity to post. As far as I'm concerned that's your responsibility.
Combat
I run combat as one round per 24 hours. Once combat starts you can roll your initiative and take your turn in a single post. You do not have to wait for anyone to post before taking your turn. Once everyone has posted (or the 24 hours are up) I will write the turns into an action sequence and post a combat summary at the end of the post. Please note that if your post is late your turn will be skipped.
I will build encounters as if the party were comprised of one player less than the actual number of players. So if everyone posts on time then combat should be a little easier. I count on most of you making the 24 hour deadline per day. If for whatever reason, real life gets in the way and you cannot make your post, don't worry too much about it. The team should be ok without you. The purpose of this rule is to keep combat moving and to avoid slowing down the game as we wait for late posters.
Getting started
Please read the first post in the Looking For Group thread. It will contain the games I am currently running and groups that have open spots. Try to actively make an adventuring party and once we've got a group I'll get you all underway.
I've created a thread for backstories should you want to write one. I really enjoy reading them but they are by no means compulsory.
Also, feel free to make multiple characters here and play multiple games if you like (or the same character at multiple levels).
If you have any questions about any of this feel free to post here.
