OOC

OOC chatter goes here. If there are rules questions please ask them here, rather than in the IC thread. I would like you guys to keep in mind the following when posting:
1. Strive for punctuation and proper grammar. I don't like feeling as though I'm grading an English paper when reading posts.
2. Some games here use colors for speech. I prefer to use quotation marks: Bwango yells at the goblin chief "You're not the boss of me"!
3. Use active voice, third person, but don't post anything that decides an action. You can post "Bwango shoots an arrow at the goblin chief", not "Bwango shoots and arrow and kills the goblin chief" or "I shoot an arrow at the goblin chief".
4. Don't puppet the actions of other characters or NPCs. A common one I see is a post telling how the others react to their character's presence, or actions: "Bwango descends the curved stairs in his scarlet ball gown. The others are impressed at the way the dress flows to the floor and Bwango manages to avoid tripping on the hem." It is up to the other players to decide if they are impressed or not.
5. OOC comments are fine in the IC thread as long as they are kept to a minimum. I prefer for such comments to be placed in a spoiler (button above) rather than in the OOC text block, but that's not a hill I'm going to die on.
6. When combat occurs I will ask for intended actions during the round. Once all actions have been declared I roll for initiative, then dice out the action as per the order of combat on page B24 of the Basic ruleset. Initiative is made by rolling 1d6 per side (I count special monsters, such as a goblin chief, as individuals) and adding or subtracting Dex modifiers. Let's say the party is fighting goblins. Character A has an Initiative of +2, B of 0, and C of -1. I roll a 4 for the PCs and a 4 for the goblins. Character A goes first, the B and the goblins act simultaneously, then C goes last.
Combat is resolved in the following order: Morale checks, Movement, Missile, Magic, Melee.
7. I make all my rolls on orokos.com and will, for the vast majority of the time, link to my rolls in the spoiler of each post. There may be rare times when I redact a roll. I will make a note of these times.
