This is turn based AND grid based, hexagrid

A General Guideline to Wesnoth

Wesnoth is a turn-based strategy game that follows events that happen at different points of time in a place call Wenoth, along with a few other minor contents. Most of these events focus on the royal family and the Specter of Fire. This story will not follow any of the mainstream events. Instead this story will be about a caravan of travelers for various reasons are looking for the rumored 'Flame of Wesnoth' a stone said to be the twin of the gem in the Specter of Fire. Unfortunately it is said that the Flame of Wesnoth lies deep in the frozen Northlands, home of the Orcs, and worse. The caravan will begin traveling through the Pass of Darkness, as the name suggests darkness roam the pass at night. Good thing your passing through at day...

Please note the system is broken so rules are: Don't be an a** about it.
Questions? Just ask.

No I'm not removing the grid, it's for the strategy.

Come on people it isn't as hard as you may think, trust me I'm a bard. And I rolled a 20.

4realz guys, you should try this out. I doubt most of you have even tried a turn or grid based game. You my find your good at it or really like it. (I only rolled a 13 this time...)

I am thinking that people were lazy to fill all this sheet and create a whole new character, Maybe you can make it look less complected.
I will join when it look more settable for more people.

I think people are scared of the premise of a grid-based game in PbP. But seriously, I have (2) real world players and the only hard part for anyone was one of them is the kind of idiot Kyzak would hunt down, choke to death in public and no one would care. Maybe it's just me but I create at least one new character a day to maintain creativity. Oh, and unlike my other past attempts to run an RP I actually care enough to press this and keep it going, instead of going, "That's a coo idea." and then getting bored of it around page two with two people playing.

I'm here to help people along with this so if it seems too hard asking me about things will make it a helluva lot easier.

I'm for serious guys. Would it help if I made a simpler bio requirement? Because not saying anything about the problem doesn't help me nor you.

The Resistances and the Terrain Evasion is kinda annoying.

[quote="WereBob"]This is turn based AND grid based, hexagrid
