The first game post will be in the tavern where all your characters will meet each other. In-character introdcutions can occur (with the aid of alcohol, if needed, lol). From there, I'll present a plot hook with a NPC.

Silver Team's first game post has been updated!

Blue Team's first game post is ready, but will be updated once all characters are finished.

Thanks for starting up the threads, will post in a bit.

Could you by any chance get us a bigger map of Elsir Vale in the information section so that I don't need to lean in and squint like a crazy person to make out the names of locations?

[Lixy Parmenter]

Yeah, that'll do, thanks

I think I'm done as far as I can tell, I may adjust the story slightly before I get too far, but mechanically I think my character is all set. Sorry about the delay!

Also never done this campaign.

This is actually starting off well, I love the setting and the mood, also I feel both teams were equally balanced. This should be an awesome ride.

[Macross]

I hope so ... if at any time anyone out there is not having fun, please let me know. Thanks for the good remarks so far...

I am a little concerned, my last post says I deleted my roll, but all I did was change it to show a spoiler button because I am unsure how to change it so the roll shows in a mouseover.

[PopCultureBard]

[t t=what you want it to say]dice stuff[/tt] is the format for the text tag, minus the space between the tt. The dice roller is really sensitive to changes made before the dice roll in a post. I've had trouble with it in another game here. I make it a point to avoid editing anything prior to a dice roll in posts because of that.

[Macross]

No worries ... here's how to imbed your roll in text...

Say something in a sentence like this long statement for the sake of an (TT=example) type here what you want to say ... or a roll like (dice) 1d20+1 (/dice) (/TT).

replace the ( ) with [ ] gives this:

Say something in a sentence like this long statement for the sake of an type here what you want to say ... or a roll like

Dice Roll:

1d20+1

(11)+1

Total = 12

example.

Apparently the Blue team has a gifted performer amongst their ranks ... a Perform(Sing) roll of 28! Wow!
(and it wasn't the Bard!)

@ Everyone -
If you see the spoiler shown below titled DM Note ... it is intented for everyone to read. I use this to tell you stuff you need to know, for example call for initiative rolls, perception checks, etc. Also, I'll provide OOC notes that are directly related to the current post. I hide it in the spoiler tag to tidy up the post so it flows as a story better. I also use red text for it so it stands out and is seperate from the rest of the narrative.

 

DM note on taxes ... it is not uncommon for some communities to charge a small, modest fee as sort of a customs tax to merchants as they enter or leave the city borders. Typically, this is set up in the form of an outpost on the road. None of you encountered this upon entering Nimon Gap.

DM Note on initiative ... In some cases, I may take the liberty of rolling initiative on your behalf, if needed to speed up combat posting. No worries ... it's not out to get ya or anything.
