Combat Map - Turn 57

Only a few encounters left ...

Only a few encounters are left before we are done with this scenario. If we want to get it done in any reasonable amount of time, we need to get better about posting. I expect we could be done by the endo of the month or the beginning of October if we keep up with posts.

I am ready to start the third part of First Steps, A Vision of Betrayal, when we are done with this one assuming that everyone is still game.

  1. I'll try to be better about it. Been working 10 hour days and driving back and forth from Toledo every day. I just never sit down and think about making these posts happen once I get home, and posting from the Toledo location isn't really possible. I expect this to go on for another week for me, I'll attempt to improve my response time.

    1. It's all cool. I get being busy. Not trying to single anyone out.

      I was just trying to make sure folks were still interested. We have not managed more than a couple turns over the last few months. That is ok too as long as everyone is still having fun.

      In theory we have another player wanting to play but I told him not until we were done with this adventure.

  2. I think with summer winding down it should pick up.

    I also think we should have a dice pool and a standing orders. Max of 1 week for a turn.

    1. I am all for it. How would we implement? I think I only need standing orders/default action. I do not mind rolling as long as I know what to have the character do.

    2. one we submit extra rolls every turn. Keep them or before we start have everyone roll 20 * each dice type. Put them on a spreadsheet and if you need a roll just grab the next one.

      I mean standing orders include:
      Give Flanking
      Attack Target (new or already attacked)
      Detect Magic
      if Spell caster, 0 level spells first, (Ray of Acid) at any opportunity.
      Move with party
      Check for traps / Magic

      We can add / subtract off the list.

      Another thing. If one of the posters above the monster is going to kill it we really don't have to wait until everyone posts.

    3. I am good with accepting a standing order but I need the players to supply. I can add it to the template (but not everyone uses it).

      I agree that we do not need to wait for other posts if a combat is about to end but sometimes there are other actions that players may wish to take. I do not want to discourage participation.
