General Posting
For posting I will be doing the following:
- "Speech is bolded" to help make it pop. I know some people interpret that as always shouting but that isn't the case. The purpose is that if you're skimming the thread you can quickly pick out what is being said versus is thoughts or other descriptions.
- "Speech is colored by the target's opinion of you.". If someone is speaking to you as a friend or ally they will talk in blue. If they are hostile it will be in Red and neutral is just black.
- Out of Character is Orange Orange is a reserved color for OOC comments and mechanics. Battle damage, reminders about this or that, asking you or letting me know that you are ready to move on with the game etc.
For players I highly encourage taking up a color for speech so again when scrolling it is easy to pick up on but you can post however you would prefer. I will ask that you post in 3rd person format as that tends to be the norm and I find 1st person posts from different people to be difficult to read.
Combat Posts
So I'd like you to use the following format for combat posts:
Underneath your descriptive post I would like you to clearly spell out each action you are taking and what you're doing with it. If you take a Move and a Standard action it should go like:
quote:
OOC:
Move: I move to B7
Action: I attack blah, hitting AC 12 for 4 pts of damage
<dice roll from log>
If you do make an attack please append the AC that you hit and the amount of damage (as well as the damage type if it's doing something unusual like fire or cold etc.) Then append your dice rolls below it. For example:
quote:
OOC:
Move: Pass
Action: Scorching Ray at Bad Guy #3 hitting touch AC 15 for 5 pts of fire damage.
All in all it should look something like this:
quote:
Gnomey the gnome lets out a fearsome roar and moves next to this guy and stabs that guy.
Move: Move 20 feet from Q5 to Q9
Action: Attack that guy with dagger, hitting AC 17 for 2 points of damage.
09:21, Today: Gnomey rolled 17 using 1d20+3. stab that guy
09:21, Today: Gnomey rolled 2 using 1d3. dagger damage
