That's is do able but you'll have to bare with me. This setting was made for 3-4 players and we are down to 1 it looks like. I am going to have to improvise on some stuff most likely. This may result in some unbalanced play or mistakes on my part. I apologize in advance but by all means lets carry on.
Glad to see your back Dremich. I'm just trying to keep the game on track. If you guys get bored then I get bored and then I start to check less frequently and update less frequent. In the past this tends to spell doom for the game so I'm trying to keep things moving, not threaten or belittle or anything like that.
One thing I do want to say is that I don't feel I'm getting any solid actions. What I am taking away from your posts is that you want to do something like this or that. What I need from you guys are definite actions that can be performed in a standard round with any rolls already posted if your sneaking, searching, listening, things like that. If your attacking I need initiative rolls, attack rolls, damage rolls and things like that (what weapon your using etc.).
(not picking on you) For example instead of: "Hey," he turns and whispers to Asthelion, "this may be a rare chance. We have to strike before they light any fire, and there's only two of them. If we strike any later, we may have to deal with more of their friends. We may even get a few answers out of them."
If your really wanting to attack at that moment post: (character name) attacks (target) from (position) using (weapon name), he/she will be moving silently and listening (rolls posted).
Something like that will give me a solid picture of what exactly is being carried out by the player.
Roger Dodger... Sorry I didn't get a chance to get on last week and alright thanks for letting me know. I'll try to be more frequent but like I said if I go off the grid for a while just have Asthelion so something rational for the situation (I.e. Jumping off a cliff is probably not too rational)... But I haven't abandoned or gone MIA but I recently tore my ACL, broke my nose, broke my teeth, got pink eye, all within the past three months... So I'm a little scatterbrained right now.
I feel that the composition of the party makes it high risk if we don't communicate our actions first. Squishy rogues don't want front on combat . That being said, when my character does a useful action, I'll make it obvious what I'm rolling.
Wow that must be tough Dremich, sounds like you were in a serious accident or something. I hope your recovering well.
I totally understand were your coming from iCon. I would want to do the same if I were in your shoes. You can't just go running in and cross your fingers with a game like this. Well you could I guess but it hardly ever tuns out well. Anyway, I hear you loud and clear.
I just read your post about moving in on the second pirate. I am going to wait a bit to see if Asthelion has an action while your doing that.
