SOTDL: Expectations
Player Expectations[edit]
Post Frequency
I am asking for a daily posting commitment for this game as a general rule, with the understanding that posting might be less frequent on weekends and holidays. Meatworld being what it is, this generally averages to 3-4 GM updates per week.
- Note: if 24-36 hours have gone by since my last GM update, I may post a new update, even if all players have not posted, to maintain momentum.
- This is sometimes just the most expedient path forward given the medium and the constraints of communicating over real distances rather than across a table.
Post Absences
You are more important than the game, so no worries when things come up, but if you will not be able to post, please ping us in OOC if you can so we know what is going on, or post to the Absences Thread (I pretty much check that thing every time it lights up).
Post Formatting
Please observe the following guidelines when composing your IC posts:
- Please bold your character's name at the top of each IC post or bold the first instance of your character's name in the body of the post. We all game with lots of folk, sometimes with the same players in different games; this just makes it easier to keep track of which character we're addressing.
- If you are addressing another PC in your post it is helpful to bold their character name as well so it stands out for them.
- OOC blocks are fine for showing dice rolls and brief OOC comments directly related to a particular post. Please sblock if you need to include large blocks of text related to your IC post. All other OOC content should go in the OOC thread itself.
- Do not place action statements (incl pp spends/asset generation) or dice rolls in the OOC Thread. I know from brutal experience that I will never keep up with those. All action statements and dice rolls should go in the IC Thread [with dice rolls OOC Blocked].
- Please link all dice rolls back to your dice roller.
