[OOC] The Last Wizard (EnA Format)

[Gisk]

Lets hope he doesn't blow us all up. I was a little scared I went overboard, a lot happened in my post. I'm not sure how much license I have to make world decisions on a power number roll.

[Alamantus]

Nope, That's pretty much how far you can go, so that's a pretty good model of a power roll. :)

[Gisk]

Alright, good.

[Derpestein]

Bit confused on power numbers. Are power numbers a specific number that you choose? Or can you just go, roll, POWAH NUMBAH!

[Gisk]

No, it was randomized at the start of the game, we each have a specific number. Mine is nine, yours is 10 and Bleu's is 6. It's also the order we're playing in, that's why you go first.

@Derpestein

Yeah, exactly what @Gisk said. Before the game actually starts, the EM rolls all the players' power numbers and posts them on the scenario post (the first post in the OOC tab). I kinda screwed up with this game because I forgot that I needed to roll the power numbers before I started the game in the IC tab, but it all worked out when I re-rolled and you had the highest number. :)

[Gisk]

So how will travel go? Should I lead us through treacherous territory, or what?

[Alamantus]

Yeah, go ahead! I have a plan for the tower, but you can invent what's on the way there if you'd like. Or if you prefer/don't feel like creating the world, I can write the path to the tower. Either way is fine, just let me know. :)

[Alamantus]

@Gisk, are you ready to take your next turn? Also, bi-daily interest checkup: @Derpestein and @Bleu Chess, are you all still interested in this game?

[Gisk]

Sorry, I've been busy. You can go ahead and set up travel if people are getting impatient. I'll try to play today or tomorrow. I only work like two or three days a week these days, and they all happen to have been in a row.

[Bleu Chess]

Yep, I'm still interested, but I might not be able to post much with exams coming up this Friday.

[Alamantus]

Ok, cool. @Gisk, that's no problem at all! I just wanted to make sure we were all still on board, so it's good to know about your work. And @Bleu Chess, thanks for letting us know. Yeah, sorry, I didn't mean to seem impatient, I just wanted to make sure we're all still playing. I'm pretty new to post-to-play roleplay, so I'm never sure how long between posts means that the RP is dying. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Gisk]

Well it depends on the players. Some will lose interest after a couple days, but some will come back after months. I know, because I've seen months-dead RPs suddenly jump back to life. I've got one that's been running since 2011, and we'll go three or four months of no activity sometimes.

Huh, interesting. Well that's good to know! I'll just wait next time there's a pause. Thanks! :)

[Derpestein]

I'm still with you guys.

[Gisk]

Once more, I hope I did okay.

[Alamantus]

Once more, I hope I did okay.

@Gisk

Yep! You did perfect, no worries. It's actually better than what I had planned, so I'm glad you got the forest into the game. :D Also just so you all know, I'm not going to be able to post today. I'm a little bit swamped at work, plus I can't really think straight in order to write the next piece. I should be fine tomorrow, though, so I'll post ASAP then.

[Gisk]

@Alamantus, should we continue in your absence? I, or someone else, could come up with threats along the path. Is there loot in this game system?

@Gisk

You know, I think you could handle the forest on your own, but I'll pick it back up when I come back. Go for it! :) And no, I never accounted for loot in Epics 'n Awesomes, but if you have any fitting ideas, let me know.

[Gisk]

Well a pretty basic system I used was just rolling a number of dice appropriate for how much loot would be present, and each number on the die represents a different kind of loot. So if you roll three dice, you're accounting for three different items. But, I don't know how much items and equipment actually come into play in EnA, so it might be a moot point.
