I used the file share function in the Dropbox application - never used it before so I don't know if it worked, or not.

Glad you got your file!

:ooc: Nope.  Seems to me this is exactly the sort of thing they're for.

Quote from: tomcat on Jul 14, 2016, 01:20 PMWould you guys like me to provide maps of the combat scenes with PC positions and how they pertain to their stances?
I have to say, I've never been a huge fan of combat maps.  Sure, they can let people make better tactical decisions within the confines of the game engine, but they also seem to reduce combat to 'I move here, and hit this guy' - at least, a lot of the time. 

I definitely prefer to keep combat kind of abstract.  It encourages people to picture events like they would be filmed - now a shot of Esgalwen on the ground, obviously badly hurt, cutting her way free of strands of web.  Panning out, we see Grimbeorn bringing his massive shield to cover her, as Idunn pulls her spear out of a still-twitching spider and looks around to see what else is going on.  Caewin's voice rings out from somewhere.  Where exactly?  Who knows?  It's Mirkwood - there are trees everywhere and it's twilight-gloomy in the middle of the day.  Something's crashing through the thin undergrowth nearby.  Is it another spider?  A horse still trying to escape the confusion?  One of the East Bight Men fleeing, or another Fellowship member going to their rescue? 

That's the kind of combat scene I enjoy.

Paul - I am stealing your combat narrative. It is very good. ;D

Cheers!  Unknown Armies and Feng Shui both had a big influence on the way I do fight scenes.

We're one round away from this being the longest fight in the campaign so far!

Doug, could you add Idunn to the character list for Darkening? No rush. Just when you have a moment.
Thanks!

Orophin probably should come off, too, but I probably don't need to tell you that.

Do you guys still use that dropdown?

I have not updated the menu bar in a long time. I click on it as Characters and it takes me to the profiler.

I will get it updated, though.  :)

I do the same thing as you, Doug, presently. And I'm fine with continuing that way.

Can I just say that I am loving the mood around the virtual table right now?  This is proper slasher movie stuff here.

Hey everyone, sorry I haven't posted in the last 2 threads yet. Work is nuts right now and everytime I pull up the page I just can't get anything from my head to the keyboard.

I'll try to get a post up today or tomorrow latest though.

It's cool, Steve.

Post when you can.
