Boar Hunt 2nd
Coral Black Joker Catalena AC Lord Foxglove KH Selaim JD Dire Boar 5C Zak 4S Aendell 3C
As an example, Coral would go, and then Cat. I might interject a post as necessary, but mostly PCs go till an NPC is in the mix.
So in the example above the first two could go, and then I could post as Foxglove, then the remaining four.
But with popcorn initiative I would post after each person, and they could go in any order. We wouldn't worry about the cards other than to introduce specials like activate Edges, or offer the +2 like the joker does.
So using the same initiative but doing it popcorn style, any PC could post, then I would, then another who hasn't gone, could. Then I would, etc... till all PCs have gone.
Does that help?
We don't have to do it. I just thought it might offer more flexibility given we are all on at different times. | | | | Joined: Dec 2020 Posts: 1,539 Likes: 5 Member | Member Joined: Dec 2020 Posts: 1,539 Likes: 5 | Ok, so the popcorn style is there is no order?
I mean, I guess my thought is we have a hard time already with people getting missed even with a defined order and it seems like it would just exacerbate that? But that's just my opinion.
I also think a lot of mechanics are built into the turn order system, that would just become useless or could be readily exploited. Like, if I do something that puts me at a penalty until the next turn in exchange for a benefit, but then act quick enough that the penalty is never applied. | | | | Joined: May 2009 Posts: 15,167 Likes: 11 Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator | Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator Joined: May 2009 Posts: 15,167 Likes: 11 | Correct, it just allows you to post when you have time. But we don't loose the cards because they still play a role in different effects. Hmm, good point. The game that uses this, has a tracker, which you toggle on or off that you have taken an action. Maybe we should stick with it as it is, and I will keep track like I have been with strike throughs. Another good point. Who gave you all the brains today. Strike that and ignore it, don't have to reverse it. | | | | Joined: Sep 2000 Posts: 61,277 Likes: 3 Arssanguinus Moderator | Arssanguinus Moderator Joined: Sep 2000 Posts: 61,277 Likes: 3 | Yah.

So he's offering 0.2% of money he just got. Which is totally FINE but I'm going to RP it and wanted to make sure you hadn't just forgotten about that part. | | | | Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 22,227 Likes: 9 (Buffalo) Moderator | (Buffalo) Moderator Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 22,227 Likes: 9 | | | | | Joined: Apr 2016 Posts: 5,691 Likes: 5 Moderator | Moderator Joined: Apr 2016 Posts: 5,691 Likes: 5 | The floor plan is definitely intriguing me - I am trying to work out which brown bits are tables and which are benches - or are they shelving and those are store rooms? Coral is definitely disappointed that there is no big open fire. | | | | Joined: Dec 2020 Posts: 1,539 Likes: 5 Member | Member Joined: Dec 2020 Posts: 1,539 Likes: 5 | Oh, sorry, Miales, if it seemed like I was cutting to the chase too quick. I feel a little badly ooc that my character background Hindrance is causing a big subplot. I just wanted to try to get it back to "normalcy" asap so you guys could experience and interact the main story. | | | | Joined: May 2009 Posts: 15,167 Likes: 11 Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator | Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator Joined: May 2009 Posts: 15,167 Likes: 11 | Who says your background isn't a part of the main story? ... Oh I said a bit too much there. | | | | Joined: Dec 2020 Posts: 1,539 Likes: 5 Member | Member Joined: Dec 2020 Posts: 1,539 Likes: 5 | Pande and Miales, I would think it's possible that Selaim might know the name Feste from Bonto Geirbelyn Feste, who was the son of the nobles and who joined a criminal gang of disaffected noble youth in Magnimar. | | | | Joined: Jan 2023 Posts: 5,315 Likes: 13 Coordinator of Chaos Member | Coordinator of Chaos Member Joined: Jan 2023 Posts: 5,315 Likes: 13 | Going to play it off as someone she'd run into with the Guild and strong acquaintance of Villian. | | | | Joined: Dec 2020 Posts: 1,539 Likes: 5 Member | Member Joined: Dec 2020 Posts: 1,539 Likes: 5 | Cool, I thought that might be a good opportunity for you. | | | | Joined: May 2009 Posts: 15,167 Likes: 11 Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator | Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator Joined: May 2009 Posts: 15,167 Likes: 11 | Works great for me. The more roleplaying opportunities you have the better the story will be! | | | | Joined: May 2009 Posts: 15,167 Likes: 11 Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator | Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator Joined: May 2009 Posts: 15,167 Likes: 11 | As most of you probably know, I went to a gaming convention in CA, and afterwards, I am spending a week with some friends and family. I am mostly absent here, as you might have noticed. I am going to prepare a bit for the next story beat. I see that the Risa's place thread has run to a pretty good conclusion, and of course, Aendell is off by himself. I will likely skip to the next day for the next piece of the story. When the pretty shopkeep's daughter requested Zak's help with rats. Any and all are welcome to join in that, and I will see the other elements that are in play as well. Cat may be regulated to doing her duties for a bit, as she has alluded to in Risa's Place. Does that work for everyone? | | | | Joined: Dec 2020 Posts: 1,539 Likes: 5 Member | Member Joined: Dec 2020 Posts: 1,539 Likes: 5 | That's fine with me, will you just montage the boar feast that's happening that night? | | | | Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 22,227 Likes: 9 (Buffalo) Moderator | (Buffalo) Moderator Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 22,227 Likes: 9 | | | | | Joined: May 2009 Posts: 15,167 Likes: 11 Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator | Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator Joined: May 2009 Posts: 15,167 Likes: 11 | will you just montage the boar feast that's happening that night? I was thinking that was a good idea. Though if people prefer to have more interaction during the feast, I am fine by that. The basic intention behind that scene is to show that the Lord is more magnanimous than might first appear. He wishes to have all of the people that care to... to enjoy the feast at his and the heroes behalf. To me just hand waving, and writing it up as a post works fine. But it really depends upon your interests. | | | | Joined: Apr 2016 Posts: 5,691 Likes: 5 Moderator | Moderator Joined: Apr 2016 Posts: 5,691 Likes: 5 | I'm fine with hand waving | | |
