I have everyone's IC, it seems like (almost) everyone's CS is in order. I am sitting here with the co-DM getting the next step in order. I don't know when, but before I sleep tonight, DM IC&OOC and PIAT Update 1 will be up. Just to give you at hint at what's ahead.... My first approach to the DM IC does have some elements to Godmode on my part in it. I am trying only to use this as an element when the story/lore NEEDS to be reinforced or moved along. Even if this happens to you, I will provide an in text ((RP1)) citation for you to respond to. On the corresponding DM OOC you will find a notation, explanation or request. If the notation reads RP FREE, you may Godmode the response as you see fit. When creating any IC post you MAY NOT!: 1. Create any dialogue for other Player Characters, NPCs and/or Enemies. ((Unless DM notes otherwise, this is somewhat dependent on dice rolls. More later.)) 2. Create any actions/reactions/movements/encounters ect for other Player Characters, NPCs and/or Enemies. ((See above^)) YOU MAY- 3. Monologue internal dialogue, thoughts, reactions on presented DM IC material. Explanations on how you spend your times alone, reflections on past events ((posts)). Just make sure your timeline matches the previous posts. 4. Initiate Characteristic Checks, Skill Checks, Encounters as they relate to the environment/characters. ((More on how this all actually works to come)) 5. WAIT BEFORE POSTING IC! The DM needs a chance to translate dice rolls and how it impacts the narrative. For example; you read part of the DM IC and decided you want to make a SKILL TEST:FORBIDDEN LORE:XENOS. If you fail, there isn't a really isn't much to say in addition. However, if you pass with multiple degrees of success you may pull some important informant into the next DM IC post. Sometimes the DM will add it to the DM IC post, at times PCs may be asked to incorporate the information themselves into their IC post. Ultimately, my goal, is let you guys shape the majority of the narrative. I want to present an idea or a game mechanic and really see how your RP shapes the scene before we get involved with dice rolls. As I mentioned before, I will Godmode a thing or two, but I assure you I will not abuse this and I'm not trying to pigeon-hole you. Communication is key, PM me! So, before we officially start- What was your favorite Prologue post? ((Not counting your own, and always excluding DM IC posts)) Have you spent all your creation XP and completed character creation? ((Excluding Past Event/Armour History)) Do you play the tabletop wargame? If so, what army(ies)? ((I play Space Wolves and CSM Emperor's Children)) Any questions on any of the information presented so far? On a scale of 1-Rock Hard, how excited are you? ((Also, thank you Ollumhammersong. I asked him to deal with quite a few restrictions in his character creation and IC post. Psykers go through a totally different first experience with the Watch and he did an excellent job of depicting that. The rest of you have a much more...passive...introduction that you will have a chance to ((somewhat)) respond/react to in the next DM IC post. I'll shut up now and get back to work.))
