First off let me apologize for not being around much this last week or so. I am currently starting a new job is a very different field than my degree is in (I'm going from Accounting to Marketing...), so my free time hasn't really been my own. I would like to thank both Wyrmfire and Jayce for being helpful to the others and getting things going for the characters.
Now a couple of things on the game.
1. Characters - For those that have put points in Totem, reassign them to other backgrounds. I handle Totems a little bit differently. You will start with one, but I have a different method of setting you up with the totem. I know that this only really effects Wyrm and Merkuri, but it makes a big difference in your characters.
2. I would like to warn players that I do not always follow the book rules to the word. I have always been a fan of the Golden Rule, which is that there are no set rules and I plan to stick by that. I only put this in because I don't want arguments about how on page such and such it states that this is how it is done when I determine something else. It is a minor thing, but I have seen games blow up when this wasn't established early.
3. If you have a problem with something happening in the game keep it out of the game thread. There will be one thread that the game is run in that is in character. There will be an OOC thread that is for game discussion only. Any problems please PM me.
4. Rolling. For the sake of ease and speed I will be making all rolls. Results will be posted but not the actual die rolls. My reason for this is very simple. If the character is going to see if they are able to decipher an ancient language and they know that they botched the roll then they are not going to follow what it says, but the characters will react more "naturally" if they think what they determined is successful. Also, combat will be handled the same way. I will ask what you want your character to do and then I will post the result of the full turn of combat all at once. Again, this is for the sake of ease and brevity. I will be using real dice and not an automatic roller.
Later this week I will be posting some background material on area that you are going to be in (it's a home brewed area) and I will give you the totem information at that time. If anyone has any questions or comments please let me know.
