Well to start with the whole resurection thing. I know it was a nice idea making it a very rare occurance, equal to a true miricle and all that. But having tested the game now I feel this might be a bit too much. In a table top d&d game the player has time to think about their actions in a battle. They can choose the best course of action to take to see that they dont get killed. NVN while it does have alot of aspects that are like the tabletop game. It is a video game, the action is fast, and can be a little too deadly. I think it would be acceptable if we leave the spell as it is, a charater has to be high level to cast it thats a given. So I think if the priest can cast it then so be it. I am very much not for the respawn option, that is just silly, you can come back without any sort of spell at all if you like. Id like it if we dont use that in Faalor at all.

Magic, I like the corse we are on. Magic being a rare and often feared thing in this world. I think that that opens doors for some really intersting role play situations. I am for making npcs around us nervous and frightened of a mage. I think we could all enjoy roleplaying out situations involving magic.

We've established that the folks being admited to this game are here for roleplay above all the other aspects of the game. I dont think we will be seeing any of us abusing the game and going after the party night after night. I think allowing players to fight other players is acceptable and should remain an option. It just helps roleplay if two charaters get into a fist fight for instance and are actually able to do it rather than just emote what is happening.

As for resting and how time passes, I dont really have an opinion on this. I suppose a certain amout of real time should pass for each day. I cant say for sure, time passing I never gave much thought to.

I hope things are going ok for you Lee and that we will be seeing you able to play soon.
