To avoid confusion from now on.. should I roll everyones Init up front?<br/>2. To avoid MY confusion would players like a one-on-one thread to do follow up scenes?<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>1.<br/><br/>I would prefer if you rolled every single check, not just initiative.<br/><br/>I know that if I roll actual d20s on my desk, I'll be fudging those results.<br/><br/>The dicebot keeps me honest since anyone can see what I rolled as if we were at the same table.  For me, the only reason I would want to roll the dice myself without the dicebot is if I were to cheat the rolls.  I'm only using the dicebot because you asked us to roll.  I'd rather you roll everything for everyone, if not just for me.<br/><br/>And if you do rolls for everyone, using the dicebot would be nice but not necessary.<br/><br/>You can start your GM posts with check results (based on what the characters intended to do and what you decide is necessary) and then the players can play out the results.<br/><br/>I mean, my most recent attack rolls were so low I know they're going to miss, and I'm ready to RP those failures (sometimes RP'ing failures are more fun than successes, like Beriana's diplomacy failure with the gnome rigger).  But I don't want to write out Beriana's flurry of blows misses until the GM confirms that they miss, which you can't do until you get everyone's init rolls, etc.<br/><br/>I'd rather know what the outcomes will be so I can write out the narrative, as opposed to doing all the rolls myself.<br/><br/>2.<br/><br/>I like the idea of extra threads (plural), with each one-on-one thread being devoted to some pairing of PCs.  Lantis and Ionnia are worthy of their own thread, and it would be nice to see their relationship evolve without interference from the other PCs.<br/><br/>I think having a single one-on-one thread is a good start, but just moves the problem of too-many-posts-makes-it-confusing out of the group thread and into a separate thread, but without actually solving the problem.<br/><br/>For example, Beriana and Mahle could potentially have some one-on-one going because they're both riggers and half-orcs, but to have that intermingled with Lantis and Ionnie would make things confusing.  Beriana and Mahle would be better off with a thread of their own, if it came to that.<br/><br/>
