All good ma’am, thanks for the heads up. I’m slowly working on a Vivian post, I’m gonna let everyone respond before Lalei replies

Vivian is up

I'll get a post up hopefully by Wednesday this week :)

Hey guys, just a check in, how is everyone?

I'm good, I'll have something up tomorrow, but it'll mostly be everyone kind of waiting for Lalei to tell us what to do next.

I'm so, so, sorry I went offline. My computer broke and I had to go through the hassle of getting a new one. I am, let's get to work.

Would y’all like me to go ahead and post with Lalei again?

Nah I'm getting a Zav out tomorrow.
Feel free to do it after, I'm trying to keep up with the pace after my unwilling hiatus.

I absolutely loathe people like Zav IRL, but this will be interesting 😂

I've been waiting for such a post, but if you'd like me to I could certainly try to get another post out before Lalei :)

I’m in a bit of a depression rut right now. Struggling to write, so may be a couple days guys. I’m sorry

No problem, no problem.

So I’ve been thinking about how combat is going to work. What do y’all think of doing a very very light DND feel, and we roll a die to see how effective our last post was. For example:

Vivian dodges the thrown knife and throws one of her own, striking the foe in the arm.

I’d then roll a 20 faced die, and if it’s a 20, it happened exactly like that. If it’s like a 15, she mostly got out of the way, maybe a scratch but the damage from the knife she threw maybe hit him, but not anywhere that’ll slow him down. At a 5, she’d get hit by the knife somewhere hindering, and be pretty hurt, and her knife wouldn’t hit strong, barely a graze. At 1, the knife would hit somewhere vital, and she’d miss the foe entirely.

Not exactly like this, but I’m brainstorming, this way not everyone comes out on top all the time, and it would mix up our plans. We could do a 10 face die, or more. I’m up for discussion. Only thing is, idk how to do that on this site, on my other one the option is attached to each post.

Thoughts?

That’s just a thought, it’s not a thing yet, but for something high combat oriented, this could be fun. But, I’m not completely sold on it. I’d never ever done something like that before

I think we could use the dice system. For example:
roleplayerguild.com/rolls/20991
Dangit I rolled a 2.
Zav attacks the elf, but misses and faceplants in the dirt. The elf slams her sword down through Zav's organic hand.

It's not a bad idea? But I'm wondering how we prove the dice rolls are legit while incorporating them into the post.

Exactly, we could just keep rolling until we get one we want.
I guess it's basic RP etiquette to not fake it.

I thought about that too, and idk how to ensure it so I’m leaning towards no. On Iwaku (other to site I use), they have it listed under the post and how many attempts. Would copying and linking it work? Does it show how much one rolls?

Like https://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/20994
Here’s my campaign, but idk if we can do see how many times we each roll

If you click back to the dice campaign title, it will take you to: roleplayerguild.com/campaigns/809 which shows how many rolls have been made for that campaign. There is also an option to make notes when you roll so you can put a brief description of what each roll was for.

Using my own example:
roleplayerguild.com/campaigns/810

This allows the viewer to see not only the dice roll total but also how many times it has been rolled for.
