Re: Jumpers Rebirth
RJ, the initial issue about your post not being clear happened after the post where Ashe asked what the demon looked like.
Simply put, this is a beta test. However, seeing as how you, the gm, have already:
Created the characters,
Put the characters in a railroaded quest,
Controlled the characters any time they aren't in combat,
Simplified combat so that it only consists of deciding whether to do a strong attack or normal one and sometimes to escape a grapple
This beta test is less about testing the system and more about testing to see how well you can convey information to the players seeing as how there isn't much left to test. This is actually probably important given that you are using a posting format that I actually haven't seen before and strikes me as slightly unusual. Also, the fact that some of your posts include actions and dialogue we haven't written leads to confusion.
Simply put, in a beta test, if a player finds an error, a gm should either:
- Fix the error and then rewind to a point before anything which was a reply to that mistake happened, or
- Make a note to do it differently in the future and treat the mistake as if you meant to do it.
In this case, you eventually fixed the mistake and then didn't do the rewind which left my character looking like an idiot because it made it sound like she was asking what Belladonna looked like immediately after Sakuya had just said not only who it was, but what she looked like. I merely wanted to back up to a point before Ashe asked what the demoness looked like so I could have her reply in a manner that made sense.
