As long as you didn't MinMax you're probably just rolling well. I hate people who MinMax in dnd.

You enjoying it so far?

What do you hope to contribute?: See that? I just grammar corrected the app, so I will nitpick and get an aneurysm from laughing at hilarious typos. Also, I hope to add more crap to that list of RPs, expect a wave of Nation RPs if I ever get off my lazy ass.

MinMax?

It's alright so far. My team is basically a glass cannon. Two of them have 6HP but rogue has ridiculous dex, and wizard has ridiculous strength and int/dex. The other one has 10HP like me, but she's a monk. It's turn three and the entire team is basically dead. Rogue went from a halfling to a tenthling (sneak attack fail), wizard is about to become one with the earth , and the monk is seeing god with one HP. I have full HP and am the only one who has gotten a kill. The monk spent the entire game punching one goblin. Game has not finished yet.

Minimax is essentially minimized your chance of loss whilst maximizing your chances for victory. People who essentially go out of their way to make their characters as powerful as possible instead of enjoying the game. It makes the game real boring real quick when you essentially have one guy with a ridiculously overpowered character.

Sounds like a fun game.

At one point I had to balance minmaxing and having fun, because there weren't enough of us for a campaign that would normally be challenging even with a full party...

Red Dawn: Resistance
IC
The Pub

December 7th, a day which forever will live in infamy. The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor brought America into World War Two, and America mobilized it's military for war. Only this time, Albert Einstein never reaches America, as he his captured and sent to a Nazi Concentration Camp. The Manhattan Project doesn't reach fruition, and America invades mainland Japan after a large-scale fire bombing campaign.

The losses are devastating, reaching into the millions. Thankfully America reached Japan first, and established a Capitalist government. Although it wasn't to last. After the invasion the US Pacific fleet was crippled, and Russia seized the initiative. After several naval battles the American Navy is all but destroyed, and Russia takes Japan and many Pacific islands in weeks. Next was the invasion of the West Coast, both sides seeing heavy casualties. After years of war, Russa has pushed east and has been halted at the Rocky Mountains.

Europe fights heavily against the Iron Curtain, and since Russia is involved in a war in America, the Europeans are able resist. Meanwhile the Battle for the Rockies will determine the outcome of the war. If Russia cannot pass the mountain chain that is heavily defended by the American National Guard, they will stuck in a war of attrition.

What this has to do with you? You're a high school kid or young adult on the wrong side of the Rockies, and you are partaking in guerilla warfare against the red menace. Most people over the age of 18 and under the age of 35 has been drafted and is being trained on the eastern seaboard for combat. This is the story of young partisans fighting to keep their nation from perishing from the earth, this is the story of World War Three.

WIP, but a rough outline.

[Deramen]

Yes.

[Tayner]

Did I unfuck it?

[Tayner]

Yes.

It was just the gagglefuck of code in the Rules spoiler, I'll find another way to work it out.

This is not the minmaxing I know, but this one also makes sense.

The minmaxing I know is maxing out a stat while minimizing all the others.

I accidentally minmaxed my first character, granted, it was a Warforged warrior, so minmaxing is required.

[Zanera]

I'd be willing to get the BBCode worked out for people with accidentally fucked code. I don't really do anything else around here besides "oooo, perdy RP!" In then wait around while the RP shrivels up and dies. :/

Could you just straight up write me up a rules spoiler inside some floatleft tags? You would just need to write the basic rules and shit and I can change it if I need to.

Just post what you were trying to figure out or TG me it or something and I think I could possibly work it all out.

That's already gone, I isolated it to the code in the rules and 86'd it.

I'll just figure something out later, but thanks for the offer.

A lot of my mistakes (I Preview stuff) was from redundant coding or missing the / in a piece of coding or something.

One thing that could probably trip me up is tables. Tons of little coding that can go wrong in there. Haven't really tried making a table myself, though.

[The Armed Republic of Dutch Coolness]

Tables are horrifying.

[Forest State]

Tables are horrifying.

Tables are like pit bulls and rottweilers. They look terrifying but when you get to know one, they can be quite nice.
