(2 posts)-
[05:07 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): ok today's class is about reactions to dice rolls
[05:07 PM] Naia Madruga: how do we get to our dash board.. from there is where I filed.
[05:08 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): ok there are 5 different outcomes to the dice rolls
[05:08 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): Stellar Success- Almost perfect, better than expected.
Success- A normal success.
Bare Success- It was 50/50, this is borderline success.
Miss- Was unable to hit the target, Could be out of range, out of power....
Critical Miss- Missed the target and possibility of self damage (gun backfired).
[05:08 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): these are the results you would see
[05:09 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): with each there is a description of the type of reaction you would give
[05:10 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): now you would want to pay attention to the details of what their atempt was and then base your rection on that attempt.
[05:10 PM] LaRPS Meter v0.25: ((PearlGrey Resident's meter has been detached.))
[05:10 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): so lets say someone attempted to knock of Naia's hat with their hand
[05:10 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): let me give you an exact RP line to use
[05:11 PM] wanted to get Naia's attention she would reach out attempting to knock it off by smacking the back of it hoping it lands on the floor
[05:11 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): lets say I get a stellar success..
[05:12 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): what kind of reaction could Naia do?
[05:13 PM] Naia Madruga: If you get stellar.. dont you post first ?
[05:14 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): did the post for my attempt I am asking all of you for examples of what could happen in a reaction if the roll was stellar
[05:14 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): your thiinking critical
[05:14 PM] Pearl Grey (pearlgrey): ....whirled around looking startled as her hat flew across the room. She narrowed her eyes at the one standing closest to her.
[05:14 PM] Naia Madruga: you could roll over with the force of you swat
[05:14 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): nice reaction pearl
[05:15 PM] Pearl Grey (pearlgrey): whew
[05:15 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): now what if it is a sucess
[05:16 PM] Naia Madruga: Hat falls forward and covers my eyes.. and you get my attention
[05:16 PM] Pearl Grey (pearlgrey): grabbed at her hat as she saw it fall to the floor, then glanced at the one standing behind her.
[05:17 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): naia yours would be a better reaction for bare success because I barely got it
[05:17 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): the success roll says your hat went to the floor
[05:17 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): but great for a bare success
[05:17 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): ok how about a miss?
[05:18 PM] Pearl Grey (pearlgrey): felt a bump on her hat, touched it and glanced around the room as she kept walking.
[05:18 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): that is a good one or could duck because I missed
[05:19 PM] Pearl Grey (pearlgrey): or is that bare success?
[05:19 PM] Pearl Grey (pearlgrey): o.k.
[05:19 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): that would be better for a bare success
[05:19 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): now the criticals are interesting because those are a back fire
[05:19 PM] Heather Melune: bare success means the hat would've fallen I thought....?
[05:19 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): nope look at the definitions again
[05:20 PM] Naia Madruga: fallen over my eyes a bare success
[05:20 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): Stellar Success- Almost perfect, better than expected.
[05:20 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): Stellar Success- Almost perfect, better than expected.
Success- A normal success.
Bare Success- It was 50/50, this is borderline success.
Miss- Was unable to hit the target, Could be out of range, out of power....
Critical Miss- Missed the target and possibility of self damage (gun backfired).
[05:20 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): let me get all of them for you
[05:20 PM] Heather Melune: 50/50?
[05:21 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): stellar perfect, succes is normal you got what you wanted, bare you are barely successful, miss unable to get what you wanted and critical there is a back fire
[05:22 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): ya on the bare because it leaves it up to you but something would be felt at least
[05:22 PM] Heather Melune: so 50/50 takes the outcome and lets it go either way?
[05:23 PM] Pearl Grey (pearlgrey): I wouldn't know how to describe critical miss with a hat without writng what Naia is doing.....
[05:23 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): you should respect your fellow player and their attempt something succeeded just not as well as they wanted
[05:23 PM] Naia Madruga: a critical miss Leigh would write.. since it back fired on her.
[05:23 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): oh that is easy for a critical because it would come back on you..in this case me
[05:24 PM] Pearl Grey (pearlgrey): o.k....but I couldn't say Naia slapped me....right?
[05:24 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): so I would RP that I could have caught my heal on my skirt and tripped missing her entirely
[05:24 PM] Pearl Grey (pearlgrey): o.k...didn't think of that
[05:24 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): no because we never say what another character did that is godmodding
[05:24 PM] Pearl Grey (pearlgrey): lost my balance and fell down the stairs...hehe
[05:25 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): ya because it back fired and something happens to yourself
[05:25 PM] Naia Madruga: No, I cant say what happened to you on a critical miss.... because it is something that happened to you.... you have to write .
[05:25 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): crits can be fun
[05:25 PM] Naia Madruga: I have alot of fun with them
[05:25 PM] Pearl Grey (pearlgrey): yes,,,,seems fun
[05:26 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): had one RP wanting to listen more carefully and got a crit she RPd had bells going off in her ears and couldn't hear anything
[05:26 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): was hilarious RP
[05:26 PM] Pearl Grey (pearlgrey): I can imagine...
[05:28 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): now here is one thing about dice rolls. once a roll is successful you cannot negate their attempt
[05:29 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): the roll itself tells you their attempt was a success but that does not stop you from doing something else to them
[05:29 PM] Pearl Grey (pearlgrey): o.k.
[05:29 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): did that statement make sense?
[05:29 PM] Pearl Grey (pearlgrey): yes.....
[05:29 PM] Naia Madruga: yes
[05:30 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): the reason is this...there is their roll and your resistance factored in it happens automatically and that is what determines the success of the roll
[05:30 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): so in essence when it is successful you did not resist their attempt
[05:31 PM] Pearl Grey (pearlgrey): o.k.
[05:31 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): but if they miss then you did resist up to you HOW you resisted
[05:31 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): except with the critical because of the back fire and we do not godmod our fellow players
[05:31 PM] Pearl Grey (pearlgrey): o.k.
[05:33 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): in all things just like you would want your attempt to be responded to and accepted as plasable as possible do the same for your fellow actors
[05:35 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): any questions ladies?
[05:35 PM] Pearl Grey (pearlgrey): hmmm...are you invisible right now Leigh? I can't see you.
[05:35 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): jumps and says see the black cloud?
[05:36 PM] Naia Madruga: no, you have done well
[05:36 PM] Pearl Grey (pearlgrey): no I see two black dots..but saw you jump or your name....but no questions about the dice rolls....
[05:36 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): I am in my trick or treat outfit and will go back to the game floor soon for the ST hunt..laughs
[05:36 PM] Pearl Grey (pearlgrey): o.k....
[05:38 PM] Pearl Grey (pearlgrey): hopefully more experienced players will be patient when I'm first using the dice rolls....
[05:38 PM] Pearl Grey (pearlgrey): seems like a lot going on in roleplay....a bit pressured
[05:38 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): everyone in the comminty is willing to help each other
[05:38 PM] Pearl Grey (pearlgrey): great
[05:38 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): relax and do the best you can
[05:38 PM] Pearl Grey (pearlgrey): o.k.
[05:38 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): when you have a question IM them or ask in OOC chat
[05:39 PM] Pearl Grey (pearlgrey): I will.
[05:39 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): but if it is something your character should know then RP that question
[05:39 PM] Pearl Grey (pearlgrey): o.k......yes...
[05:39 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): if you don't understand their atempt then you can IM them and ask for clarification
[05:40 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): any other questions about reactions based on the rolls?
[05:40 PM] Pearl Grey (pearlgrey): o.k.
[05:40 PM] Pearl Grey (pearlgrey): no
[05:40 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): if you have a player not react please either call for a ST using the /9st or first just ask them if they missed your roll and attempt this can happen
[05:41 PM] Naia Madruga: I have been rping here for several year... I have found that the players are very helpful... treat them with the same respect you would want.. It is a friendly family.. eager to help you learn
[05:41 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): that is our goal Naia and even ST's are human and miss things
[05:41 PM] Pearl Grey (pearlgrey): the roll shows up in local chat I think....
[05:41 PM] Naia Madruga: When there is alot going on.. sometimes a post can be missed...I usually ask in IM if I missed their post.. most often I have
[05:42 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): yep but if you look away or if there is a lot of chat it can get lost
[05:42 PM] Pearl Grey (pearlgrey): I would guess this community might be more helpful than SL residents in general.... ;-)
[05:42 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): we do try to be
[05:42 PM] Naia Madruga: I feel that we have the best hud LaRPS for role play.. and the community.. the STs are very helpful... very nice group.
[05:43 PM] Pearl Grey (pearlgrey): well my rp goes kind of slow....still....
[05:43 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): we are a community a great big family and always ask everyone to just respect each other and enjoy the game for that is why we are all here
[05:43 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): awww ty Naia
[05:43 PM] Pearl Grey (pearlgrey): ;-)
[05:43 PM] Naia Madruga smiles.. No problem... you can put in your profile that you type slow to please give you the time you need.. Once they are aware, you will see they players will wait.
[05:44 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): role play is not a race it takes as long as it takes
[05:44 PM] Naia Madruga: exactly
[05:44 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): I don't mind waiting even 10 min for a post and have. but it was worth the wait
[05:44 PM] Pearl Grey (pearlgrey): o.k....it isn't just typing...it is thinking too......I am new at this....but will profile it...
[05:45 PM] Heather Melune: thought I was ok with rping until I got onto here... seems a lot harder with rp in SL at least...
[05:45 PM] Pearl Grey (pearlgrey): so far everyone has been nice.
[05:45 PM] Heather Melune: :-)
[05:45 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): some of our players are even translating so it takes them longer
[05:45 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): the RP quality is very high here the best that I have found and why I have stuck around for 3 years
[05:45 PM] Pearl Grey (pearlgrey): it seems amazing and creative....and intelligent here...
[05:46 PM] Naia Madruga: I think it is because you can see the actors expression.. so you need to express yourself.. and be sure you dont make it a think statement.. you need to give the other players something to rp from.
[05:46 PM] Leigh Luv (leigh.huet): pouts...I can't give xp if you don't have your larps on ladies
[05:46 PM] Naia Madruga: I mean you can NOT -
Great class thank you Leigh.
