	'''Dice Rolls:''' I will be using [http://orokos.com/roll/?action=roll '''Orokos'''] for my dice rolls, and will link all rolls there for verification. Typically, I prefer to roll for the NPCs and for the players to roll for their PCs as much as possible. ~~And with an eye toward keeping things moving, particularly in combat, I will try~~ to ~~frontload my posts with the information~~ you ~~need~~ to ~~narrate your own~~ rolls (~~armor class~~, ~~hit points, difficulty, etc) so everyone is not waiting on me to find~~ out ~~what happens~~.		'''Dice Rolls / Sequence of Events:''' I will be using [http://orokos.com/roll/?action=roll '''Orokos'''] for my dice rolls, and will link all rolls there for verification. Typically, I prefer to roll for the NPCs and for the players to roll for their PCs as much as possible. My preferred method for resolving scenes is for the players to give detailed descriptions of what each of you is doing/attempting to do (including any necessary rolls) and after everyone has posted (or after 24 hours), I will come back with NPC actions / reactions and narrate in detail how everything played out.

	As described below, all rolls/roll descriptions will be sblock formatted [details on how to do that in the player section if needed].		As described below, all rolls/roll descriptions will be sblock formatted [details on how to do that in the player section if needed].

	'''Dice Rolls:''' After you've typed up your narrative description of whatever you are doing/saying, if a dice roll is necessary it should be posted at the end and s-blocked (please do not use regular spoiler code). The sblock should include a brief player-side description of the dice roll. What dice you are using and what you are specifically attempting. And finally the dice roll itself, which should link back to your actual roll on the online dice roller. If a followup roll might be warranted (such as the case of damage after an attack) roll those dice as well and post them together.

As mentioned above, once you've given detailed descriptions of what each of you is doing/attempting to do (including any necessary rolls) and after everyone has posted (or after 24 hours), I will come back with NPC actions / reactions and narrate in detail how everything played out. This format is only for actions requiring a GM response. PCs can interact with one another to your hearts' content without my involvement.

	Note: I prefer [and will be using] [http://orokos.com/roll/?action=roll '''Orokos'''], but so long as I don't have to create a special login to see your linked rolls, I don't much care what roller you use.
			'''Note:''' Please do not wait for me to respond for NPCs to do things they would reasonably be assumed to do. If you order an ale at the tavern, the barkeep / barmaid can be assumed to bring it to you. If you drop your horses at the stable, the stablehand can be assumed to handle your mounts without me having to post saying so, etc.

 My meatworld name is Stephen, but I prefer Brahnamin in open communications [OOC Thread, etc] simply to avoid confusion. Either Brahnamin or Stephen is fine for PM or Email [see below].
 For those who find it convenient to know such things when posting, I identify as male for the purpose of selecting pronouns, but I do not insist on the convention and will answer to most anything for those who don't concern themselves one way or the other or who mistakenly select a different pronoun.

 I live in [and most frequently post from] the Central timezone (USA), and while I will often post in the OOC thread throughout the day, I will typically reserve IC posts for the evening [usually after 7pm CST / CDT] when I have more time to focus on plot and story elements and looking up pertinent data on PCs and NPCs as needed. That said, my work schedule can vary from week to week, so that is not a hard and fast rule so much as a guideline for when to expect me to chime in.
