I did approve it. Waylander is at the bottom of page 2 in the char sheets thread.

Completely lost it. Now search feature is active I'll look for it.
Besides, I'll start moving the char sheet to individual threads; I'll also modify them to incorporate new informations, as I expand the gaming world, so the chars gain more depth.

You should be careful with that. Having a separate thread for each char sheet will only clutter up the board. Also, I don't know if the roleplayers will mind you making changes to their characters.

That's exactly why we asked TT with a separate forum.
To prevent cluttering the main board with our gaming posts.
Having a separate thread for each player is actually good - at least for me.
When I need to refer to a char sheet, I want to do it quickly and easily.
Plus, I'd like to format them in a different way.
Besides, organization would rest on my shoulders, so I can't see why anybody would complain; I am not stripping a character down to his knickers just because it strikes my whim. I'd mostly add town names and the like, to keep chars consistent.
For example, Tukano mentioned Castorp used to wander a forested area. As I expand the map I might add that name to the game, or change the name Tukano mentioned if I came up with a different name.
Again, I finally made up the Galthari kings' names. Now I can search the sheets, and see if any char referred to them - and edit accordingly.
Finally, I'd like to sort out active from inactive chars. We had a lot of player signing in, but only a fraction of them ever posted an action.
At any rate, if people have trusted us so far, I can't see why they'd stop now. 🙂

Okay, I guess. If no one has a problem with it, go ahead.

The great thing about having a subforum is we can edit things without resorting to an external moderator.
I want to assure existing and future players that as narrators, we will always leave the original posts, when editing. So we can undo whatever we modify.
Also, while I am fairly prone to edit players' posts, I never do it to censor. I am simply aware that people are not familiar with the gaming world, yet, so I ensure consistency and balance are preserved.
As an important example: xtxlx posted Tanandra and Rilina rode to Asperum.
Travelling takes time, so they couldn't simply pop away from a place, and pop back into existence miles away.
I modified the post to reflect that.
I can't notify players that I *am going* to modify their posts. I simply do it, and then clearly show it, so they know what is going on.
This kind of narration might seem heavy handed: game is regulated and characters can't do whatever strikes the players' whim.
It is simply a narrator's job to create a seamless story out of the various gaming posts.
The greatest thing about overseeing an RPG game is giving players the feeling their chars are living in a real, believable world.
They can interact with it and its people, and they have to think hard to overcome problems and foes they might meet along the way.
An RPG game is more than simply a novel - players can "invent" and "react".
But they need narrators, to prevent the gaming from becoming a free-for-all, and to spice things up, and avoid a predictable one-way uneventful story.
