Posting Movements
You can name few other things to do but concentrating on one or two things has a better chance to succeed. There are no longer movement restrictions.
Character Creation
Nothing too important to mention about this. Just read through your character sheet and recap things you forgot. Stats, skills, perks and defects - things like that.
Battles
Everybody has some experience with events on this game. Read through the combat section before making posts on your own battles if unsure. Here's few important things and some examples.
Combat Flowchart
Defending isn't part of your turn. If enemy attacks you with more than one attack your defensive actions can be resolved before your turn.
You can move only once during your turn either before or after taking actions. Movement depends on your Agility.
Combat Values show how accurately you hit and Damage Modifiers how hard you hit. Most them should be already count on your character sheets but they can change according to different attack types and buffs. Damage is calculated [Base Damage x Damage Multiplier].
Armor can reduce damage. For example if character is wearing a jacket with Armour Rating of 6, that means 6 damage is reduced on every attack that hits the character.
Actions you can do — Attacking, Handling Items, Activating Something (Spell, Ability or Item) and Charging Abilities or Spells. Amount of actions you can take depends on your character.
Remember the servant covering rule. Defending options you have are:
Maps — https://2img.net/h/i708.photobucket.com/albums/ww82/NecoGrim/mapexample-1.jpg - they can get quite messy. When battle starts game-master makes a map of the situation and players edit it according to their movements. You're not required to write anything on it. You're not required to mark your movement path unless on very unclear situations. You're not required to mark the area of your attacks, just the spot where it lands.
Examples
Marking the combat values and such is up to your preference. You can put them in spoilers or leave them in open. Long skill descriptions should be put on spoilers though.

- Your turn starts.
- Move.
- Take an action.
- Move if you haven't yet.
- Your turn ends.

Remember the servant covering rule. Defending options you have are:
- Evade - Try to eliminate the damage as whole through your Defence Combat Value.
- Clash - Try to overpower your opponent with an attack or spell. Remember to check the table what attacks can clash against which attacks. After every clash you deal 10% less damage on consecutive clashes. The penalty is cumulative.
- Defend - Use defensive equipment to reduce the damage.
