[Ptolus/AD&D] OOC Thread #1

[Benoist]

*nod* That's what I was alluding to by saying I was using a more "liberal" round count at the moment. The only important count at the moment is the creatures' movement. While this is going on, I'm basically taking a few posts at a time, and then move on a little while later, and so on. So it's a bit like we're in non-combat mode, but still with very short time units, if that makes any sense.

This basically means you can post again what you intend to do for the next while, and I'll wait for a little bit for a few more people to posts. At some point, I'm just going to move on assuming everyone that hasn't posted didn't want to do anything right now.

The standard combat round count will become a lot more important when/if actual hostilities start with attack rolls and the like.

Hope I'm making sense, here.

Makes sense to me!

As for Listening rolls, I'm still going on Smeads success and Gareth's amazing 01 roll on this one.

I had meant the section of wall directly left of the door, kinda the east wall of that room, not the curved southern wall

Oh alright. You meant the perpendicular wall. I see what you mean now. Sorry about that.

I modified the map and post accordingly (might have the refresh the page to see the modifications on the map).

[Benoist]

Update on the miniatures front: I received the minis for Smeads and Tudd, as well as Snave, Liir and Dallow.



I'm unlikely to start painting until after the holidays, though.
It's about the busiest time of the year, for me.

very cool Ben. looking forward to seeing them in full color regalia!

[Lilaxe]

ok my interwebs-fu is pretty poor.

how do I do the linky thing so my rolls look cool and you can access the results with as a link...

[winkingbishop]

I like this display, because it includes whatever data I included under "notes" as part of the link, plus the results:

Turn Undead on the mad scary goo (1d20=1)

Anyway, take a gander at my results on Invisible Castle.  You'll see five options for copy/pasting under the heading Formatted Versions.  Copy and paste one of those as a reply on this forum.  The one I included up top is the BBCode version.

thanks!

[ url = the invisible castle address ] the text you want to appear as clickable [ /url ]

Without spaces. This is how you make a link. Example: The text you want to appear as clickable.

Quote my message here to look at the code I used, if you have a doubt.

Ben & Co.,

Off to play AD&D tabletop right now, so I know you'll excuse my absence the greater part of the evening.  If Othos happens to discover something during his inspection, he will verbalize it to the others.

[Benoist]

Precision about search rolls for secret doors and the like: I use the rules as written (even when I'm rolling the dice for myself, away from your eyes), basically, up to the point you describe your actions precisely to me. Which means for instance that when you are telling me "I search this area where the statue stands," I then apply the rules, rolling say 1d6 to detect a secret door. If you are telling me say "I try to touch the face of the idol and find some concealed feature there" and there happens to be something, I'll skip the die roll entirely.

Specific descriptions trump dice rolls.

Just so you are aware of my MO here.

OK! Have fun mate!

[Benoist]

I'm around, guys. I'm waiting to see if anybody else has something to say/do before we move on.
