# Adventuring! Play-By-Chat
|
|
|
|
The following information on organizing Adventuring! as a play-by-chat game, over Discord (and IRC, via the bridge) is
|
|
intended to keep the game flowing and clear for us to consume without a huge amount of rigamarole.
|
|
|
|
## Cadence and Ticks
|
|
|
|
Presently, we have agreed to a **48 hour** cadence. That means, essentially, no more than 48 hours (or so) should pass
|
|
between GM updates that push the game forward. Ideally, less than that time passes, but the idea is to give everyone a
|
|
couple days to get an update in, or to assume some reasonable default course of action for them if not. Obvious stuff
|
|
like getting attacked and needing to make a defense roll, if the 48 hours pass and someone hasn't acted, I'm not going
|
|
to be a jerk and say "you sit there uselessly and get coup d'grace-d straight in the face". I'll roll for you. It may be
|
|
an uninspired roll, but it'll happen.
|
|
|
|
I will ping everyone when a tick happens and there's new action to react to. That'll start the timer, and everyone has
|
|
48 hours to ask questions (which hopefully can be resolved), take action, and so on. If it seems like everyone has
|
|
settled ahead of time, I'll do a new update and there's a new 48 hours. Maybe I'll get a bot to manage this at some
|
|
point.
|
|
|
|
## Discord Updates Format
|
|
|
|
Updates will be readable if we use these couple simple styles:
|
|
|
|
* In character updates should be written in the third person prose, present tense, with narration as warranted,
|
|
quotation marks for dialogue, and so on. Italics might be good for internal dialogue.
|
|
* Out-of-character updates, questions, ideas, etc. should be wrapped in parentheses. No particular formatting is
|
|
required here.
|
|
* The exception to this is dice commands, which can be done normally.
