How to play in a play-by-blog format:
- I will start by posting an article, including a top-down picture of the chamber you're in. I will also post to the "Vitals" tab with an image showing each of your vital signs (hp, conditions, etc).
- After I post, you can then respond using the comments. Tell me what you're doing, what you're character is saying, and even feel free to delve into your character's thoughts. Be sure to check that Vitals tab; you're responsible for keeping an eye on your health!
- I may respond to your post with a comment of my own, giving you feedback.
- At a certain point, I will post a fresh new main article. You then post your comment to the current article, NEVER to the old ones.
Writing Style:
- Write from a third-person perspective, present tense. Example: Salah says, "Asps. Very Dangerous. You go first," and he nudges Indy to proceed into the chamber. Note: I may break this format in my own posts by referring to "you".
- Private questions can be sent to my email address, or to my twitter.
- For "out of character" (OOC) chatter, write a comment in the OOC tab. Or you can hit up the twitter tag #grind4epbp and discuss there.
Actions, Dice Rolling and Battle:
- When you post your character doing an action, feel free to add a "Tech" section at the end. In fact, if you do, I will award you a +1 to your action! Don't factor this +1 into your post, I'll factor it in myself. Example: Baron Von Badass looks over the section of hallway ahead of him, trying to see if there are any pit traps. Tech: Perception +8, and +2 for Headband of Awesomeness = +10.
- I roll ALL the dice. I even have a set or two at my desk at work!
PLAYER LACK OF POSTING:
- Players who fail to post in a timely way will have their dungeoneers killed off in gruesome and very unfair ways. I might give you a warning beforehand, if I'm feeling nice.
