So it's almost turn based, this system? We all post what we do in turn, one per week at first. No actual turn order just whenever you can post?

Also with the Main story missions etc. Are you controlling all Hollow etc or do we kind of write out our own combats completely? It's a lot of work for you if not 😅

I assume, if that's the case, you'd still be in control of the prominent bad guys though.

If it works like that I have a small idea I'll DM you about if it shakes out.

@Brink Everything you said is correct, yes. No actual turn order.

You may write out the combat this round given the significant number of hollow, if you wish to. But yes, the prominent opposition that I highlight will be controlled strictly by me. That's really when it'll resemble more turn-based type combat, but for now have fun and show off. Feel free to send the DM!

For those who haven't posted in the Main Mission IC, just be aware the deadline for Mission Progression is in two days! I'm aware that some of you that are busy IRL, no harm no foul. If you need help getting a post up you can PM me and we can work it out together, or you have the option to PM me your character's decisions and I'll add it in the next GM Post. Snakes Without Sin is relatively fine to proceed.

@Everyone: @RevekaRed@Theyra@RoseKnightJason@Teyao@Brink@Kalas@Psyker Landshark@The World

Main Mission Post is up! Next Wednesday is the deadline!


Remember: If you can't respond within a week, no harm no foul. Just give me the gist of what you want your character to do, and I'll add it in. If I don't get a response or a DM, I'll take the liberty of taking action for your character.

Posting once in response is a soft rule. I don't mind multiple posts in a round, however, be aware that too many actions can decrease your chances of succeeding said actions.

For those of you still interested or new, curious if you can still join at this time, yes. It isn’t unheard of for the Gotei 13 to send reinforcements out to missions or people to scout for information. I’ll be able to fit you in, somewhere, just be wary you may not have a say so in where as I’ll have to fit it in narratively.

Real life has slowed down for me, so I apologize for the delays but I'm back active. I'm looking to push things forward Monday and stay on a consistent schedule, so long as my power doesn't go out again. I'll be replying to everyone today, making it a priority. If anyone needs help posting this round let me know, if you'd like to skip this round you may DM me your characters action and I'll move on from there. Thank you, everyone!

And just like that we're back on track! Been a rough couple of weeks so I'll spare the usual grandiose update post this time around the only thing I wanted to highlight was three Critical Strikes this round:

Ageha attacking hollow (20)
Yuto attacking hollow (20)
Hollow attacking Tatsui (20)

You may be wondering how these get decided and I wanted to provide some clarity, and if you played D&D: It's a simple D20 roll. However, I roll for effectiveness/damage output rather than roll to hit. As much as I'd love to roll to hit, I feel it would randomize things a little too much to keep a proper flow in the story. Rolling for effectiveness/damage output, however, keeps things from being completely railroaded by me while allowing randomness in a story I can still control the pace of.

I also will roll a dice to help me determine things such as who the acid drips near in Tower of the North. 5 active on the ground = roll D6. Assign numbers randomly, and if I roll a D6 I re-roll. So, in this case, I rolled a two that was assigned to Tatsui. Hope that provides some insight into how I run the show.

Just letting you all know that I'll be out of the country from Sunday 8th - Friday 13th, so things will slow down in that period of time. If everyone gets a post in by Friday, then I'll work OT to get a post up Saturday. Otherwise, deadline will be extended until my return. If things get too slow/boring in my absence, I implore you to collab with one another in the IC here. As long as it takes place in the two-week time period from the Graduation - to - The First Mission, it can even be as far back as Academy flashbacks to further flesh out character relationships. Just a few ideas to throw out there.
