Ok, so this is the first time I'm doing a GUTS+ game on RolePlayerGuild, so it might take little bit to get into a groove. For reference, the player's handbook is available to read here: guts.plus/rules/players-handbook
Please familiarize yourself with the rules—there's not too many, so it shouldn't be very tricky to play.
For readers, this game is full with 4 players already. If you read along and notice someone drops out, you can ask to join if you'd like!
For dice, we're going to use the RolePlayerGuild dice system. Please create a "New Campaign" on there and name it something you'll remember for this game, maybe even put a link to this thread in the description. When you roll, please use the "Note" field to describe your roll, i.e. "Character name rolls a Quality name Check (Xd6) to do xyz thing". After you roll, put the link to the roll (using the "Copy Link" button on the roll) next to your roll, or better yet, hyperlink the result in your post! For example:
Because GUTS+ uses each individual die itself rather than just the total in most cases, you'll have to click on the roll's id number to see the "Breakdown" of the roll.
We're not going to be utilizing the optional magic system for this game unless it opens up into a bigger campaign at the end and you want to keep playing!
Check the Characters tab's first post for the format I'd like you to follow for the character sheet. It'd be excellent if you can keep your stats and inventories updated when things happen so we can keep track of things as well as possible!
As for timing and gameplay speed, I plan on checking in a couple times a day, but it's typically a bit more difficult for me to post on weekends. If you need more time, please let me know, but in general, I will try not to advance a scene until either 24+ hours have passed or everyone says they're ready to move on. I will reply to questions, observation checks, and NPC dialogue as soon as I can, though.
One last thing, try to keep your In-Character and Out-of-Character posts in the right sections. It's not super important, but I like to keep the role play separate from the conversation. If you have an OOC question that needs to be answered in lieu of what your character is trying to do, try to clearly label it in the IC post, i.e. "((OOC: Can I do xyz thing?))".

GM rolls a Thought Check (2d6) to test multiple dice: 4, 1
