Re: Chapter 11: Margaret

Margaret struggles to her feet. “You want to destroy me, don’t you?” she says to Isadora . “That’s what you’ve always wanted! That’s why you took Thomas !” "I didn't take Thomas... That was somebody else, not me. Can't you see, I'm a victim here, like you," Isadora mutters in answer. &quo...

“Why don’t you ask her?” she snaps.

You're welcome!

Anybody else? It'd be great to have, for example, a science type, to round out the party.

Re: Chapter 11: Margaret

Isadora Carmichael

Isadora takes a few steps back from Margaret's bed, and, if there's a chair, sits down. Her hands are trembling as she waits for the woman's account of the city... Which she expects to be all too familiar.

Re: Chapter 11: Margaret

Margaret frowns at Henry’s question, declining to answer it. Instead she points towards the other remaining member of the party, Isadora , and answers Alice's question. “How could I kill that woman?” she asks. “She’s right there with you.” Roll,SAN 56 [dice]0[/dice] Sanity down to 55.

Re: Chat

Thank you for a chilling, thrilling game, Evil Scientist! The ending felt like the start of an old X Files episode. Hooray! I think the ending also felt like the ending of many X-Files episodes: the Investigators reach a partial success (like rescuing a victim), but when they go back to the place, ...

Re: Chapter 6: Echoes of a Nightmare (everybody)

Julie finally snaps out of it. She is surrounded by doctors and nurses. There's a bunch of flowers and cards next to her bed - she doesn't remember them being there when she fell asleep. She carefully climbs out of her bed, and goes over to Elizabeth . She looks at Julie - and it seems that it take...

Re: Chat

Yes, I want to recruit one or two additional players, either as new characters, or, indeed, as Elizabeth!

Question:
For the next game, I'm considering a slightly modified scenario from The Stars Are Right! Have you read, played or run anything from this particular collection?
