Thanks for the introduction, Luke. Well, this is where I'll be posting the rules and other anouncements for Paradise Lost. Let me just start you off on how I run play-by-post games.
As of the beginning of this game, my players are DaGreatJL, Verrain, Tom B, Jkahrs, and Ubby. All of you should please reply to this topic to let me know that you are present and able to write in this forum.
I will adjucate moves once per day, usually late at night. This is fairly quick for a PbP game, but I think that it's a good idea to get into the habit of looking at the boards every day. You are not required to post every day, but you should be watching in case something happens that you need to react to. Inter-character dialogue usually won't require me to make any rulings, so chat among yourselves as you wish. All rolls will be made by me, and I will keep track of tests for advancement.
As Luke said, making a move does not require you to write a novel. But nor should you make any one-word or one sentence moves. As long as it's to the point and accurately conveys what you wish to do, it should be fine.
When writing your post, please use quotation marks to indicate when your character is speaking, and write out what he is doing. OOC questions should be kept to a minimum, but if you must include such a question, please enclose it in (( double parentheses )) and put it at the end of your post. For purely OOC chat, I'll make a separate OOC topic for use.
When combat begins, I will send out a private message to remind everyone that they need to write their scripts. From the time I make this anouncement, you will have 48 hours to reply to me, in PM, what your script will be. Extensions will be granted only in the event of questions or severe problems with your script. Failure to submit a script will result in you doing nothing but Standing and Drooling.
Artha will be handed out on a rolling basis. When I see something that pleases me, I'll give out points of Artha.
As of right now, I am using the standard rules for Artha and wound penalties. If you would like to use the alternate methods, ask me, and I'll put it to a vote.
When I wish to draw someone's attention to something or tell them something only they know, I will indicate it in my posts like this:
Luke> Hey, there's a spider on your back!!
Such information is only for that character, unless they choose to share it.
That should do it for table rules. By the way, would everyone who is wearing armor PLEASE tell me exactly what pieces they have so I can calculate armor dice and penalties? Also, everyone needs to list exactly what they are carrying for 'Travelling gear'. Be specific. Once play begins, you cannot add or change it.
EDIT: ALso, would everyone please please PLEASE post a physical description of their characters as well?
