Players Dae Empire CRD

Dice rolls

Roll20 is best but you can roll physical dice if you want. Honor system.

Minimum players

OSE wants 6-8 characters:

Size: The ideal size of a group is between 6 and 8 characters—large enough to confront the challenges of the adventure, while not so large as to be disorganised. If not enough PCs are present, the players may wish to hire retainers

-- Party Organisation

Given the simple rules, it is possible for one player to play (run) multiple full characters.

Scheduling-wise, as long as two players (plus one DM) are available, the game can be played. If the players don't have in-world accessible secondary characters or retainers, the game might become very difficult.

Maximum players

Probably 5 or 6 players at once is the max due to online communication overhead.

On-call players

Some players have mentioned interest but cannot commit to a set recurring time. They will be on-call players that might drop in for some sessions.

Player absences

Sometimes players may miss a session. When that happens the following rules apply.

  • Their character fades to the background. They are around in-game but they won't speak up during role-playing unless directly asked and remain out of combat.
  • Their character will not receive XP during the session.
  • They may or may not receive any treasure, that's up to the party.
  • After many absences, the player might be asked to give up their seat or become an on-call player.
