Is that three laps of 9-11 legs? That's 90 rounds of posting?

The legs are (essentially) irrelevant, it's about the spaces in between.

That movement of 1d6 will see most through an entire leg in one roll (as most have around 6 spaces per leg).

Those are mostly for me to keep track of who is where and when.

The important part is each round between my posts with racing summaries.

Yeah but if its a roll per leg, three laps, three tracks, that is 90 rounds. Like race 2, would take on average 14d6 to get round so 42d6 for the full race (assuming an average of 3.5 per dice)

I'm not basing it per leg, though, it's based on a 72 hour timer (per the rules), and racers need to post in that time. Also, I'm not expecting multi paragraph posts, I fully expect 1-2 liners explaining reaction/actions, nothing crazy.

The race markers are for me to update positions with little position icons, mostly.

And this first race is the tester, to see how long it takes, and will determine adjustments to races 2 and 3 - never fear, adaptability to find a sweet spot will happen!

Unless something goes wrong, then writing detailed negative consequences is just fun haha

 

[Dani Stellaris]

Excited!!

 

[Swoop Racing Group]

Starting post will be in exactly 5 hours, real time.

From that post, all racers will have 72 hours to post (including movement and action rolls) to kick things off!

Here is a link for a rules refresher.

(these are podracers, but you get the idea)
LET'S GET READY TO RACE!​

 

[Swoop Racing Group]

Iasha Rha We still need your swoop selection, please advise us ASAP or risk disqualification!

 

[Swoop Racing Group]

The race is now live, all racers your 72 hour round timer has begun (with half an hour grace period).

Saraiya Darkstar | Candu Tabuu | Arkyn Rane | Iasha Rha | Ta'ena Zollo
Hex | Hilal Vizsla | Joseph Torson | Artas Tel Alam | Dani Stellaris

Iasha Rha has 1 round to decide the swoop used, or she's out of the race.

 

[Candu Tabuu]

And just to add onto this:

When you post, with rolls included, you can edit the post after to include values - and the rolls remain on the post, unchanged.

Also, I couldn't apply a -1 for a roll, so for all move rolls just deduct (if required, such as the Rancor swoop).

Good luck fellow racers!
