As a grumble, I've been following these threads for a bit, mostly quietly, but got behind when w*rk got busy at the end of last week, thinking that I'd look at the weekend when I had time. When I caught up with the first thread though, I was too late to join in as Doublethink had said no more people on Saturday on the linked post, so I haven't put in a character, and nor has someone else, another gamer, who would have liked to.

Also-- I just posted to see that another character (Banner Lady) had-- basically role-played my character, and I had done something I hadn't realised I had done.
In my mind it would be much less confusing if each person directs their own character-- if there is something another party member thinks I should do, they can ask me to do so in game play or by PM-- right?

The comment was of someone describing Brandon doing something I hadn't stated I was doing. See above post.

Daniel I need you to roll vigilance at a hard difficulty - you need over 15 to succeed - if you do, you detect the arrival of the rest of the party at the graveyard.
Likewise
Arabella I need you to roll vigilance at a OK difficulty - you need over 10 to succeed - if you do, you detect the arrival of the rest of the party at the graveyard.

It is a tension.
It is difficult to post about how your character is interacting with the party without to a certain extent modelling another party members actions. Though everyone playing should ideally keep this to a minimum. I think players with less experience may take a little practice to get the balance right.
If you want to cook up a joint strategy for something with another player it would be best to do that on this thread. Unless there is a compelling reason to keep it secret. If that is the case, you might want to pm me to check the plan is a goer.
For the purposes of the coherence of the game, comments such as you made are appropriately posted here - but once something is on the story thread - it has happened and all characters involved or observing have that as part of their reality. As GM I will try to fix any weirdness that may occasionally introduce.

Modeling makes sense.
Just to work out another kink-- it is nearly midnight here, so I will probably stick around about a half hour and go to bed. Would it make sense to announce that here, too?

Sorry about that; but if there are any drop outs you are first on the list for a slot in the party. That said, this is just a short trial run, prolly no more than a week.
Then we tweak the system, hopefully you will get the benefit of a more bug free version.

Can't do any harm, it gives people a sense of who's around when. Not a requirement though.

No, I had just meant to associate your character name clearly with your comment.

I was just talking about the kind of thing Clawdine wound up doing-- "Hey kid, get off your butt and get us some food!", in character.
(oh and I rolled a 5 on my tracking-- just in case I split before we get to that.)

I would be OK with that if you want to run the character jointly - perhaps you could arrange by om and let me know if you are going ahead ?
Please could you make a tracking roll at OK difficulty, you need more than 10 to succeed.

I'm not sure I know how to respond to the GM's post replying I have an OK chance. Do I roll a die, and is my action already in place or is it at this point still regrettable? Do I inform the GM of my result by PM, here or in a post on the story thread?

Yeah, asking you in game is definitely preferred to predicting your response. Good to see Bannerlady finding her feet with this ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

Roll. Needing more than 10 and then post your result here - then I will post on the story thread telling you what happens.

So, not sure too, but based on the fact that I rolled and sucked, I am going to go ahead and role-play that... let's see how that works...

Woot, Ridiculous Success give me a min to think about how to buff you.
(I am afraid that is your dice action for day 2 - but you can still post just nothing that needs a roll, but please wait till I have posted about the outcome of your vigilance.)
Arabella - you no longer need to roll vigilance as the person with you has already succeeded - you can save your action for something else.

Harrumph, you've snuck in an extra dice roll there - but go ahead and roll and we'll see if you get a bit more backstory - in future just one a day though please. Your difficulty for this ridiculously easy.
Please don't post again on the story thread until I have done your vigilance outcome.

OK - you need to do a story post then roll and post the resut here please.
In the story post you need to include a sentence like "Jetse, on the alert as ever, looks around to see if he can ***spot trouble*** in the shadows of this place."
You don't need to mention vigilance specifically in the story post.

Well, take a starved, empty-pocketed and homeless drunk to a graveyard - what were you expecting was gonna happen?
Also, how hard are we on the rule that thoughts are not heard and cannot be used for conversation?

Unless you've got a mind-reading skill, pretty hard I'd have thought.
I've not done RPGs before, so I'm not sure how such things go. I was thinking that it would be good to give some idea of my character's thoughts and motivations as part of the actual story, but not necessarily in a way that would mean the other characters would know about them. For the same reason, Ik isn't going to respond to IngoB's character on the grounds that he was talking to your character instead.

He wasn't talking to mine, but to Ariston's. I don't think Stone's vigilance is high enough for him to have heard his name being mentioned in a whisper some bit away.

No, I mean Ik was talking to you. Sorry.

Ah. Watch out, switching fate and characteristics with one's role-playing characters is increasingly common these days. (Hi, Fictitious A!)

My thinking precisely. Though I would like to ask DT if we can consider general weapon skills as always on. I mean, I can accept my "sinawali" double attack as a special that has to compete with other special things I want to do. But if I wanted to find some food now, which requires a roll, then that would formally have to forget about my "blades" (light weapon) skill till next day. That seems strange to me?

Actually I was talking to Jetse (Ariston). By virtue of how we have talked, I would see Jetse and me standing together in one spot, you and Stone standing somewhere else again, close to the caravan probably (but Ik not prominent in my field of view), and Hestor and the prince (and perhaps others) in a different spot again.

Ik resolved to stay near the prince due to his unease at being in a graveyard, so it's unlikely that the two of them will be particularly far apart.

I am assuming that days in game time may last longer than days in real time (or less long depending on the situation).

Well, you were talking to Stone without shouting, and Stone 1) is staying with the caravan and 2) was the one exploring the graveyard. So I would actually expect that you are closest to that side of things of all the guards currently.
