General Notes:
Update pace: You have 24 hours to respond to a GM post, announce any prolonged absences you have. If you miss a deadline the GM may post in your stead or opt to delay until your return.
I will moderate my game M-F, with a bit here and there on weekends.
"Characters talking in quotes"
[characters thoughts in brackets]
Short out of character info / questions should typed with OOC in front, for very long OOC stuff, we'll have a seperate OOC thread.
Attach pictures, music, videos, etc! It adds a lot to the mood.
Don't include any text from old posts in new ones. This is just a cosmetic nicety to make the overall discussion more readable.
Godmodding: Don't put words or actions onto other PCs w/o their _consent_! I have run games were everyone really got to know their companions styles well, and everyone granted god-mod consent for non-combat - it led to some more immersive dialog IMHO. So I strongly encourage you to grant this permission once the game is underway. Snitch has suggested we formalize it, so go look over here:
shadowrunanarchy.proboards.com/thread/19/godmod
If you are doing dialog between two characters, put their names (or initials at least) in a running dialog:
--------------------------------------------------------
Ericka: "The squirrel god idol is stuck"
Sherpa: "They say only the faithful can lift it."
--------------------------------------------------------
Write in third person, present tense, and in general you can speak for any unnamed NPC, and add flavor text to enhance the scene description - please consider yourself ALL co-GMs. In all the online games I've run, I've never completely refused material invented by the players.
I will also post at the end of every message during combat the party's status:
Armor Lost/Max, Stun Condition Monitor Lost/Max, Physical Condition Monitor Lost/Max, Plot Point Used/ Max, Edge Points Used/Max, total penalty
--------------------------------------------------------
STILL TO GO:
*Oli Armor 6/6, SCM 3/9, PCM 9/9, 2/3PP, 0/3E, -1
ALREADY ACTED:
*Ericka Armor 6/6, SCM 3/9, PCM 3/9, 2/3PP, 0/3E, -2
*Frank Armor 0/6, SCM 0/9, PCM 0/9, 1/3PP, 1/2E
KO'D:
*Molenko Armor 6/6, SCM 0/9, PCM 0/10, 3/3PP, 2/2E 10/10 !!Knocked Out!!
--------------------------------------------------------
If your character is most likely going to stand and shoot until dead
say say so. This will hopefully speed up the PBM combats. Better yet, state some like:
--------------------------------------------------------
Erika stands and fires her pistol the closest pygmy, backing up to try to keep the pygmy in short range but too far for it to charge.
------------------------------
Built in dice roller
To roll dice, type the following:
roll=3d6
except put a [ and ] around it.
Example:
DPUG_pGG3d6
If you use a glitch die do it like this:
{roll=3d6}G{roll=1d6}
replacing curly braces with brackets
3d6G1d6
