I spent the weekend thinking on it and I thought maybe a list like this would work:<br /><br />Worg, Range: Melee Close Medium Long<br /> Callix. Bramble. Bob the guard.<br /> Gualt.<br /><br />Something along those lines anyway. I imagine it could look a lot prettier, but at least it'd give some idea of range in relation to possible targets. And we wouldn't lose sight of who was visible to who.Joe Nelsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3188833949555515251.post-6144976570351524622011-12-04T22:05:53.217-05:002011-12-04T22:05:53.217-05:00The idea excites me, and may be something worth pu...The idea excites me, and may be something worth pursuing in the future, but not right now.

If (or rather when) I eventually run my own game, I'm leaning toward the play-by-blog if only for the added freedom in formatting the site exactly as I see fit (as you mentioned above).Chris C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08655640273250716377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3188833949555515251.post-85619582872699952932011-12-01T18:19:52.766-05:002011-12-01T18:19:52.766-05:00I'm a player in said PbB game.

The previous has a direct impact on the latter though. With the pace, it is hard for me personally, to remember who is who and where. Your suggestion of a list of things and their location would be good, but a map ideal, though this too adds to the DM's work load.<br /><br />You hit the Pros well, I would add that with this particular media, it is much easier to be as descriptive as I want based on the time I have available. I really like this and hope that my time allows me to be much more descriptive in the future!<br /><br />Great post!<br /><br />The BaneJohn Risusnoreply@blogger.com
