GM announcements

Post by Tassu »

We expect to have about 30-40 players. I have about six hours per day to post (factoring work, sleep and spending some time with my wife so I have a roof over my head). This means that I have 6*60/30 = 12 minutes per day per player.

Because I also need to run NPCs, adjust scores and answer legitimate questions about events and such, I ask you all to use the search function before asking anything about the setting.

Similarly, I ask you to use search functions on the pdf files before asking about the fluff / crunch. Chances are that the answer you need is there.

While just asking is easier for you guys, the time we spend answering questions that are answered on the forum is away from 'fun' from everyone.

Some adjustments to heists run by NPC ronin. Notably we have now a script in place that makes randomized rolls automatically - meaning that factions may hire ronin NPC for heists whenever - though they are still limited to two per game.

Pregame is kicking up soon - lasting until 2nd of April when the real game D1 starts.

Before diving in please read through these, if you have not. You should also familiarize yourself with time slots available.

D1 in roughly 22 hours or so. Please wrap-up your pregame threads during D1 as I will close the pregame forum on D2.

Day change in about 18 hours. Once we hit D2, you should not roll dice on D1 without explicit GM permission. Also, please finish your pregame threads by that time as I am going to set the whole forum into 'read only' mode.

Since there seems to have be a misunderstanding, when I am asking you to write what you are rolling, that means Skill/Trait combination and not 'Scratching my testicles'. Also, when the instructions ask you to note 'when' you are rolling, that refers to the current IC day.

Also, writing final TN is not enough. We need to see Raises Called (and Free Raises used, preferably) so that math on points gets easier for us - so we don't have to hunt the original TN and try to guess Raises you might have called.

Let the current dice log demonstrate what is acceptable roll-hygiene and what is not. You guys make three to six rolls per IC day - that is 1-2 rolls per RL day. We check 100-ish rolls per each RL day, so you guys have to make our lives as easy as possible so that we don't get ulcers and the game won't crash and burn.

I hope I am understood.

Oh and the Campaign is 'Banner of Stars'. Without 'the'. Please.

Not that we're anticipating any rerolls of any sort, but I'm just going to say that no new characters can be rolled as soon as Day 10 starts.

Day 10 - last session. Dice rolls are not allowed on D12 - so heists and information transfers must be finished on D11 latest - or they cannot happen.
Similarly you should post ALL your information gains (koku gains for ronin) on FIRST RL day of D12 - after which we do the tally. Gains posted after this won't be counted.
