A few more thoughts

Here are some ideas I had about organizing play.

GM Adventure Turn Post – Description of what the characters see and experience and instructions to the players. Naming convention [Name of Adventure – GM Turn Post #]

GM Turn Question - Comment to GM Adventure Turn Post asking one or more players a question.

Player Turn Response – Comment to GM Adventure Turn Post stating what action the character will perform.

Response Format:
Character Name – GM Turn Post #

Action – (Describe what the character wants to do. Multiple actions may be appropriate.)

* Attack – (designate target and describe attack made)
* Move – (list squares moved through and method of travel)
* Cast a Spell – (select spell and designate target)
* Use Ability – (select an ability and desired result)
* Use Item – (select an item and desired result)
* Use Skill – (select a skill and desired result)
* Search – (describe what and where you are searching)
* Talk to X – (Determine who you wish to address and describe what you say.)

Initiative Roll – (list die roll when a combat begins or is likely to begin)

Attack Roll (s) – (list dice rolls and modifiers applied)

Rolls to be used as Saving Throws and/or skill checks – (include 5 rolls)

Player Turn Question - Comment to GM Adventure Turn Post asking the GM a question.

Combat Map – Numbered and lettered grid showing battlefield. This would include all known characters, opponents, terrain, hazards and spells in effect. This would be updated at the beginning of each Adventure Turn where combat is happening or likely to happen.

General GM or Player Questions unrelated to a turn should be posted as a new thread.
