Editing DRYH: Ashes of Gods - Player/GM Expectations

Things will slip through the cracks. No plan survives first contact with the enemy. The code is more what you’d call ‘guidelines’ than actual rules. So . . .

==Post Frequency==
'''I prefer the pace generated by daily posting''' and generally ask for that commitment in all my games. I plan to post to IC at least once a day and be available as time permits for OOC discussion throughout the day. As GM, however, I often cannot post to IC until all the Players have posted, so the more you guys keep up with things, the easier it is for me to keep up with things. Feel free to wear out OOC with questions, suggestions, and shenanigans. 

Lather, Rinse, Repeat as needed.

If you will be unable to post, for whatever reason, give us a heads-up in OOC or the <u>[https://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?709532-Grand-Central-Absences-Station Absences]</u> thread (I pretty much check that thing every time it lights up). You can also PM or Email me as needed [contact info at the bottom of the page] just ping me in OOC as well so I know to go check them.

'''Caveat:''' No matter how keeping up you keep things up, I work weekends, so more than a single IC post on Saturday/Sunday will be rare for me.

==Post Formatting==
'''Person:''' Please post in the third person in IC. Avoid "I" and "You" (except in dialog of course) and stick with "He" and "She" and "They" as appropriate. [Include OOC definitions if you use gender-other pronouns that everyone might not be familiar with]

'''Name:''' Either type and bold your character's name at the very top of your post or bold the first instance of their name in the body of the post. Most of us are in lots of games, often with the same players, and this just makes it easier to remember which character we're addressing.

'''Narrative First:''' Type out what your character is doing in the fiction first in every post before moving on to the mechanics of what they are dooing [dice, etc]

'''Block OOC:''' When you get to your dice rolls, OOC content, etc, please block it. Format like so: [SBLOCK=Title of Content]Type content here.[/SBLOCK]. Other RPG.net BB Code for formating can be found <U>[https://forum.rpg.net/misc.php?do=bbcode HERE]</U>

[ETA - They've added a button for this in the smart text editor, bottom row, black word balloon icon. You have to have clicked Go Advanced before you can see it].

'''OOC Thread:''' Blocking is fine, perfect even, for dice rolls and quick OOC clarifications that directly relate to an IC post. Larger chunks of OOC content, particularly if it is not directly relative to your IC post, should get posted directly to the OOC thread.

'''Dice Rolls:''' First, please link all dice rolls back to your roller. I will be doing the same for all GM dice rolls. Second, please list and roll your dice in order. If your OOC content says you are going to roll 3 Discipline, 2 Survival, and 5 Savagery dice, it is helpful if you input your actual roll in the same order. In fact, my general preference is for players to use the format of Discipline, Survival, then Savagery - but I won't insist on it. Don't wanna skew anyone's Mojo.

In <u>[http://orokos.com/roll/?action=roll OROKOS]</u>, the above roll would be inputted as 3d6; 2d6; 5d6 in the final text box. If the roll doesn't work, check that you've used semicolons and not commas. Please copy/paste the actual <u>bblink</u> so it gives the number for each die rolled. Makes it easier for figuring out successes/strength/dominance at a glance.

==Player Input==
'''Feedback:''' I don't know why players are typically shy about this, but I'll put it out there, because I'm not infallible and I genuinely welcome any feedback to improve the game. If I've borked something, made a mistake, or you just think something could be done better, by all means please bring it up in OOC or PM/Email. Whichever you are more comfortable with is fine.

==GM Contact Info==
The OOC thread will always be the quickest way to contact me and get an actual response, but in the event that you need to contact me privately you can PM me here or email me at the address below. If you do contact me privately, ping me in OOC and let me know to check PM / Email so I can get back to you as quickly as possible.

For those who find it convenient to know such things, I identify as male for the purpose of selecting pronouns.

-'''Black Text Only:''' I have a hard time reading colored text on a screen. I know some folk are in the habit of coloring spoken text to highlight it, but I'm going to ask everyone to refrain for this game.
