OOC Talk for Play-by-Post Games

[Crowned Puppet]

Per DemoGraph and rusty's suggestions, I thought I would make this thread for any out of context questions for my game and other games.

I would keep it just to your game.

How will we roll exactly? For example I want to search something or check for shadowing. Do I state my intent and then you say what skill to roll in the game topic or can I choose the skill myself?

If I tell you to roll a skill, you roll percentile dice, or in our case, we can roll a 1d100 with the forum system.






If you want to roll for something using your stats (like STR, DEX, POW), you multiply your stat by 5 and again, roll dice against that number. Lower number succeeds, higher number fumbles. So if you want to do a search roll, you state your intent, roll 1d100, if its lower than 70 (Agent Mikko's Search skill), it's a success. Or I can roll the Search attempt myself, hidden from other players, to keep the suspense going.

So I can do the roll immediately as I state my intent, understood. Will we have crits on doubles (11, 22 and so on) and 1 and 100?

Yeah, there will be crits (as situation allows it, you can't really crit success opening a lock I think) on both fumbles and successes.
