Editing The Crimson Markiz (section)

==Format==

Keep text in all in-character posts just that―''in character''. Use the '''[sblock=OOC][/sblock]''' code to mark out-of-character things in these IC posts, including rolls for Challenges and Duels. The GM will try to foresee approaching Challenges and list some possible TN’s. If you want a TN NOW, but don’t want to wait for a response from the GM, take your best guess. There are some notes in the rules for general descriptions, such as “difficult for trained professionals” and the like.

Generally, I’d like players to do all (or most) of the rolling. The more results you see, the more chance you all can craft an interesting narrative of those results (and, thus, get more Style Dice!). Rolls can be listed in your '''[sblock=OOC][/sblock]''' spoilers. If a character is facing a minion squad, which will be the large majority of foes they will face, the GM will list how the dice will be divvied in advance, such as:
* '''Minion squad (5):''' Good Guards (+2). Strong attack 4/1

The above example shows how the squad’s five dice will be divided between attack and defense. Four dice (the best of two) for attack, one for defense. Players can roll these so the game can progress quickly through Duel turns.

For more dramatic Duels with important foes (Villains or Arch-Villains), the GM will likely handle the rolls of the bad guys.

In your posts, be cinematic and colorful. Cliches are your friend! The trick is to be flavorful and descriptive without being overly prosaic. We don’t need compendious exposition—just quick, pithy, memorable narrative. Please refer to your characters in the third person.
