[OOC] The Tavern - General OOC Thread

[DaMavster]

Correct. You can either do it in the post itself like so:

"Please sir,

Dice Diplomacy:

1d20-5

(14)-5

Total = 9

I'd like some more," pleaded Oliver.

Or you can put it in a spoiler button at the bottom of your post.

[FrozenTear]

Hm, that's handy. Make things neater too.

I will try that when I have the chance to do so.

[DaMavster]

FYI to both groups: I'll look at and reply to your game threads (if applicable) within 24 hours. Then I'll be back to a normal schedule for the foreseeable future (July 4th, holiday weekend, visiting relatives, etc: all throw me off).

[DaMavster]

Sorry everyone. It was a rough day at work and now it's too late for me to post anything worth reading. I'll reply to your posts tomorrow as soon as I can (probably lunch break at work).

Trying to keep a schedule where I post every 24 hours. Missed it for today. Sorry again. >_<

[JasonWFD]

No worries, life happens.

[DaMavster]

Posts are up for both groups. Have at it!

So, how's it going so far? We've been in game long enough now that you've probably got a good sense of my writing style and non-combat DMing.

Any concerns or things I can do differently to make it better for you? I'm a Technical Writer in real life, so I have a tendency to make my posts short and to the point. Which in my opinion is fine, so long as I'm giving everyone enough detail to work with (the potential problem).

[Muggins]

Fine with me.

[Monsieur Durtal]

It is working well for me.

[Qerps]

I'm no genius with adding fluff myself, so no problems so far.

[Hitman]

It's working great for me. The ambiguity leaves me plenty of room to put in my own fluff.

[JasonWFD]

No problems or comments here. Enjoying it and can't wait to see what happens next!

[DaMavster]

Cool. Onward and forward then!

FYI, I've been having some bad headaches for the past few days. I couldn't stand looking at a computer monitor more than necessary, so I might have been slow with replies. Sorry for that. I promise not to make a habit of this. >_<

I just know how I feel when a DM doesn't reply right away. I promise I won't let the game die, but I can't promise constant posting apparently. >_<

Quick recommendation: Anyone here play Shadowrun Reutrns yet? I am absolutely in love with the game. It's on Steam for $20, and it's made by an indie team with the man who made the original Shadowrun pen-and-paper in the 80's in charge. It's simultaneously a modern re-imaging of the IMHO amazing setting of Shadowrun and a throwback to the classic tabletop and video games.

If you aren't in the know, Shadowrun is essentially near-future noir cyberpunk with fantasy meshed seamlessly together.

If you like:
- Great storytelling
- 90's PC styled RPG
- Turn-based tactical combat with a good range of character customization and (in most parts) strategic party management
- A built-in editor that gives people the tools to make their own stories, missions, campaigns, etc.

. . . then you'll love this as much as I do.

Just trying to spread the enjoyment around. Can't wait to finish the game, and then see what amazing content the Internet will create.

[DaMavster]

Ack!

Sorry everyone. I rely really heavily on the email notification and it went out this week. I'll catch up on posting tomorrow.

[Hitman]

No rush on the posts, 'Mavster.

It sounds weird, but I kinda like the slow pace of this game. Having a post pop up once in a while with some new and interesting twist is like ordering something in the mail, forgetting about it, and then opening it like a week later!
