I'm about to npc yig if he doesn't post soon

See, this is why i never take more than 5 people even in IRL games. The more the people, the more the chances of something going wrong.

The problem with taking less people on PbP is that there is a very good chance a couple will drop and you will be left with 2 or so players. Its a hard thing for a DM but especially in combat I think a posting time limit is important. Sometimes you just have to push through and pick up the pieces when the smoke clears.

I'll keep all that in mind thanks. It looks like I'm going to have to find a reason to switch one or two of you over to group 1 regardless, so taking extra people may have worked out. As soon as I get home I'm going to update regardless, I think that I've figured out the map problem as well.

Cidolfas - I agree on the dropping out problem. It pissed me off immensely first time i got into on-line gaming a few years back (not forum, IM and RPTools stuff). Meanwhile i have started thinking of campaigns in series/book terms and not have the chars get into the strong stuff for a while, so i can decide who will be part of the protagonists and who will be sidetracked by the time i get to the bulk of the plot. Of course your results may vary... For instance i dunno how my approach would work in Cidolfas' game ( in which I also am).

Quick question for you guys. Should I just skip Gilded's turn or should I control a his actions for this turn. Not sure what the preferred method is for this sort of thing.

lsumuppet · #**175** 08-22-2010, 03:34 PM

Control his action. It's bad to wait, but terrible to completely lose an ally. If Gilded doesn't come back by the end of the encounter, you can just have Gilded run off or suddenly die of a heart attack.

I'll have to finish the updates later today. Sorry about all of the random delays the last few weeks.

lsumuppet · #**177** 08-24-2010, 12:05 PM

Any success with the map?

blesper · #**178** 08-24-2010, 03:09 PM

Updates complete zekö's turn followed by Muri. Map is uploading now

copatt · #**179** 08-24-2010, 04:48 PM

I would normally probably go ahead and post, but we're kind of at a critical juncture, and I want to see what happens on Zeko's turn before I go.

lsumuppet · #**180** 08-26-2010, 09:01 AM

Take zeko's turn?
