Test Run Launched

[Tom]

Ok everyone, the engine is running, meaning you will get your regular fixes of experience points and energy. And you can start playing. This is still a test run, so nothing that happens is "official".

I am looking for feedback, especially when you try getting into actual spellcasting - just how much is possible, too much too little? Does the parser work for you, etc?

Well, I see XP accruing and I can verify in the parser, but I don't see where to actually commit the action and get the verification code. Am I missing something obvious?

Errr... no... it turns out I haven't finished that part. *facepalm*

Sorry... give me a few days.

Commit button is now active and will correctly apply all changes.

So you can now expend energy, gain XP, etc.

I just tested them out and it works!

You didn't post your roleplay?

[Tom]

I ran a couple manual updates, so if you have more XP, energy, concentration than you should (by a few hours), that's not a bug.

[Zakilevo]

For the test run rp, do I consider everyone as a spellcaster? or are you allow to rp as a NPC character? (well that doesn't make sense now I said it since NPC cannot be played..)

[Tom]

Of course you can invent NPCs - check the rules.

Your character, however, is capable of magic.

What happens if the person who decided to join my story doesn't respond for a long time? Do I just take control of his character and continue my story?

[Brant]

Or wait at least as long as he waited for you :P  And it's just a little awkward that  I RPed him rowing sitting next to your char rowing and you RPed him near death during the same time frame.   

Edit: If they rowed together before the mast broke, then it would work out just fine timeline wise.  We can work with, or around it :P

[Zakilevo]

eh.. Maybe I should change the storyline. lol I will work on that. And I wasn't really aiming the question at you Brant. I totally forgot people can join my RP. That just made me think about the question :)

ps: holy crap I misread your thing.. I will change my RP right away.

[Brant]

I'd think you'd wait however long your patience allows, then try to move on without including anything that would require a response from them?  Some people get touchy when you try to RP their characters for them, even if you're stuck waiting.  As for me, if I don't respond in a day, feel free to RP mine as minimally as possible to get out of whatever scene you're stuck in.

[Zakilevo]

fixed. eh hopefully the change is more suitable to continue the storyline. If you want me to change something just ask :)

I just realized if we were allowed to have more characters, I wouldn't have been able to handle two or three at a time. I never wrote so much even in battlemaster.

[Zakilevo]

how often do we get exp and energy back?
