Boardgames Play by Post

Okay, we have Joe, Aaron, and Jack. Looking for one more player.

22

Iā€˜m new here so how is this going to work?
You are hosting and dealing us the cards?
Can we roll our own dice?
Are we just describing our actions and you change the images, or do we need to do more?
Is there some template style for the descriptions?
It would be good to have coordinates for the locations and the areas.
I have the german version, so I need to get to learn the english termology, but Iā€™m sure I will get the hang of that pretty soon

Let me jump in and save Delwayne some trouble, Hi, Roger, board admin here.

In this model the host is basically a gaming substrate - you describe what you do, the host moves the markers on the images, shuffles the cards, or whatever is needed. Some games definitely benefit from a standard order format, but if in doubt, say more rather than assuming itā€™s obvious. If you want to get a playerā€™s attention, @ them. As relatively new users you may not have private message privileges yet; if the game needs them, poke me or any of the other moderators.

There is a dice roller which you can find out more about here: Dice roller ahoy!

@Jack-Spirio asked for a die roll:
6d6: 5 + 1 + 6 + 6 + 2 + 1 = 21

You can also take a look at all the other Play by Post games we have had already. There is quite a few. Our Ti4 game was interesting!!! :slightly_smiling_face:

For the most part, it is usually just making decisions and as host Iā€™ll be executing them. Many times you can also PM your moves to the host ahead of time as well.
