Alrighty, I've decided that i don't want to try and wrap up El and I's campaign in the next month or so. I've also decided taht my our dm'ing style would be very suitable to running it over forum.
To this end i've created a forum on poboards. I know a fair number of people in our campaign attend this forum and this board, the others i'll contact this is just the easiest way to make a general heads up.
the way it will probably work is that we'll make a certain time slot for people to post their actions in. Actions will be simplified for combat and extend over several rounds.
Ex: I post that there is an enemy in the room, thomas has highest init, so he goes first, he posts that he charges the enemy and ram attacks, and after then attacks several times with his sword until the enemy is dead.
More complicated maneuvers like parrying and defending would easily be added to this post, like i'll attack the first round, and then spend x number of attacks on parrying, or some such. people will probably be informed via email or aim if they are running out of time. or i'll just send emails to everyone when i make an important post. naturally i'll make a move towards roleplaying more (accents will be expected now, when appropiate) but as said bove, there will still be combat.
as you may notice when you go to the forum, there are boards for jp and nicks campaign's if they wish to continue them over the school year. my hope is that we can make this work. it shouldn't be hard for everyone to take half an hour out of their college schedules, (even certain harvard students) once every few days, or even every week or two just to check up on actions and posts
the url is charon96@proboards49.com , just book mark it or something. this is not meant to be a place to chat most of the time, it should be more business like, though until we get running during the school year, it doesn't matter what happens there. commentary on it would be appreciated.
