::I guess you can mix the two. For things that the other players are going to see anyway, or that the scout is going to tell, you can do the describing without whispering. For things that require the use of a skill by the player where he makes a succesfull roll (search and such) whisper should be used to allow the player to do what he wants. I like the use of whispering for short actions (spot, listen) so that the player can use and rephrase in their own words and choose how they tell the others. But it's true that for longer actions, it gets boring for those not playing. [[User:Notafish|Delphine]] 22:06, 24 Aug 2006 (BST) |

Revision as of 19:11, 28 August 2006
The place to ask your questions etc.
Signature
How to keep the thread of a conversation...
- Use colons at the start of paragraphs (like I have) to indent replies. -- David 21:48, 10 May 2006 (BST)
Remember, to sign your messages with ~~~~. Delphine 00:46, 22 Nov 2005 (GMT)
Creating Pages
- Creating new pages is simple: Just create a wiki link to the (as yet) non-existant page and click on the link to start editing the new page.
- For example: Huerney's Bag of Holding -- David 17:58, 23 Dec 2005 (GMT)
Fate points
Added to the House rules -- Craig 12:32, 3 Jul 2006 (BST)
Table of Contents
Is there a way of suppressing the TOC for individual pages? -- Craig 13:07, 11 May 2006 (BST)
- Use __TOC__ to place a table of contents or __NOTOC__ to supress it. Please don't go overboard removing them though; I find them useful. -- David 17:08, 11 May 2006 (BST)
General Stuff
Could someone please let me know the location of the IRC server? My history window is playing up. Woe! -- Henry 17:15, 23 Mar 2006 (GMT)
- Server = irc.freenode.net; channel = #criticalhit :D -- Craig 09:37, 28 Mar 2006 (BST)
Whispers
Is there any chance that we can change the way that we play so that whispers made to players who have gone off to reconnoitre etc. can be seen by all? If we were around a table we would all get to hear what's going on, and it helps those of us a bit bored in the waiting. I think that this should be OK provided that the players not there don't use the information that they read in their character roleplaying - e.g. "Maybe we should go and see what's going on over there". Opinions?

Another Meet
Anyone fancy another meet up this year? I was thinking of something like November time. I'd be happy to host, or go to wherever.
As you may have seen if you watch the changelog, I've been quite busy making up some exotic example characters. I've had an idea that I'd like to run an exotic game at the next meet. All the characters on the exotic PC page have a level 12 Effective Character Level (ECL), yet as you can see they are all a bit different. One thing about the examples is that I'm not sure on the starting gold, and hence the equipment given... I've assumed that starting gold is based on total ECL rather than actual level.
Anyway, what do people think about the idea of a meet, and of a game with exotics. -- Craig 20:11, 28 Aug 2006 (BST)
