Pulpatoon, when Coat of Nine-Hides cries out in the feline language, is she calling a cat of some sort to come to her? Or is she just having fun?

She's yelling for the benefit of the rats.

Sorry I didn't announce this. This was how we did it last time I played play-by-post which was a few years ago. We also didn't have a dice roller.

Do you guys prefer to roll the dice yourselves using the dice roller?

Personally, I prefer rolling myself. This way when it goes poorly I can only blame my rolls (even though it is a computer generated random number.)

I'm used to rolling for myself, but I have to say, the GM rolling is an awful lot zippier. Given the already glacial pace of PbP, that seems like a good thing. Just from this one round, I'm considering asking my players if they wouldn't mind if I started proactively rolling for them.

As I said, I prefer to roll them myself; however, Pulpatoon makes a very good argument.

It took me off guard but I like the faster pace of the DM rolling as well. I'll go with the consensus on this though.

I'm fine with whatever, but the efficiency of DM-rolls is nice. Probably gonna feel different when the first casualty hits us

I will continue making the rolls for now. But if someone feels strongly that they want it to be done differently please let me know. PM me if you would like. I definitely do not want to lose a player because of this.

So death is now off the table?, he naively asks with hope-widened eyes.

Tun attack 11 [1d20] = 18
Pole Arm damage [1d10+1] = 3+1 = 4
Huxley attack 11 [1d20] = 17
Mace damage [1d6+1] = 2+1 = 3

I was using the dice-roller last night to finish combat. Tun, Huxley, and Carouge all missed. It came down to Evariste and Dumphey to deliver the killing blows. But then my computer crashed before I could get anything posted! *facepalm* So I had to re-roll tonight and above are the results. Nothing wrong with tonights roll, but last night was just much more intersting because everyone had a go.

I was so pissed!

I was going to have the Kobold yell "Murder Hobos!" but decided to go with intruders instead

Murder Hobos- it's a calling, truly.

He nibbles on the rations Boo gave him and grimaces.

I don't think Kobolds would like human food all that much. He'd probably rather eat a Gnome

Alas, fatal indigestion that would be.

Just wanting to check in with people. Is this game something people want to continue with at this time or put on hiatus?

I'd be eager to continue. I really like the characters, and would love to see what they can do. But I can be patient, too, and wait out a hiatus if that makes things easier for others.

I'm still here waiting patiently.
