We've been off the grid now for the past month or so after buying a house and doing our own renovations but we're [mostly] back now and Eva is officially returned from her IC vacation as of last night! I had posted on the 'Calling All Ishgardians' thread a couple months back with a sort of bird's-eye-view of her father's involvement with Ishgard, but there's actually a good deal more to it and I'd be glad to work with anyone else already involved on possible hooks and such if anyone would like to PM me or send me a /tell.
Absolutely, there is still time. I will PM you. I am getting good at finding ways to integrate people into the plot.
AND UPDATE BELOW
Our last event was great. We quickly got the hang of the combat system which is not that complicated.
However, as everyone there could see, it tends to make a few characters seem incompetent if there is a small number of enemies. With only three assassins, we could not even allow the first few successful rolls to kill them off, and it did not allow much flexibility for characters who rolled a fail. There are also a few holes in the system I noticed.
For future encounters, I have made these adjustments:
Encounters where Exiles outnumber enemies. Spoiler used to reduce clutter. Please open.
Encounters where the enemies match us in number or outnumber us can't allow the bypass of a fail roll penalty. However, there are no reaction phases. From start to finish, the roll rules and allowances apply.
I know this may seem complicated, but I will gladly go over it again in the next event. I don't mind repeating myself. And, once we get it going, it is actually not that complicated.
Also, nothing is set in stone. I welcome input on the system, and I am willing to make changes.
NEXT MEETING
Xydane has limited time to finish his first chapter in the plot. We'll just call it a chapter one that needs to be finished before he leaves on a few weeks of hiatus. This means I can't give everyone huge notice in advance. It's been uber busy this week as well.
I am hoping to hold the next meeting either tomorrow and/or Saturday. For Saturday, please send me your availability, or I will just assume it is the same as last Saturday. For tomorrow, I am going to check between 2pm and 4pm PST to see who is on. If there are enough people on and available, I will try to get a meeting going. If not, I will check again between 8pm and 10pm PST, and do the same.
There is a lot Kiht needs to go over with everyone.
