The Groovy Psychedelic Chit-Chat Lounge

July 1969 - a time of great turmoil. America is deeply embroiled in a hot war in Vietnam and a cold war with the Soviet Union, while on the homefront there is tremendous unrest as the culture undergoes radical changes. While astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins are on their way to a date with destiny aboard Apollo 11, life on Earth is becoming more and more confusing. Defenders of established traditions are fighting an increasingly losing battle against those who want change. Sex, drugs, and rock and roll are becoming more prevalent, and the threat of nuclear annihilation hangs over the planet like a shroud.

July 2009 - a time of great turmoil. America is deeply embroiled in wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, while on the homefront there is tremendous political division and the economy is in dire shape. A new president promises change, but can he possibly live up to lofty expectations? Crime has worsened with the economic situation, the scourge of drugs ruins countless lives, and the threat of another terrorist attack looms always in the background.

Strange events are happening that link these times together, and a handful of people find themselves caught up in them. Will they figure out what's going on before they lose their minds - or their heads?

Right, back and rearing to go now everyone! Rome was fab thanks, bloody expensive though. 10 euros (about 13 US dollars) for a beer in the touristy places!

Welcome, Scooby!

I'm still waiting for some players to post before I advance some threads. Even if you don't want your character to do anything, you should still post something in your thread describing your inaction. Otherwise I don't know if you're not posting because you haven't had time, or because there's nothing you want to do. Also remember that events in other threads may be dependent on what happens in your thread, so this could delay the game for other players as well.

Dualshock71, that question in your thread wasn't rhetorical. It was directed at Alan, and the guy asking it would like an answer. Caporegime, you should still make those rolls even though the chance of success is low, and you can still participate in the discussion even though you're out of the hand. TheAlchemist, I haven't forgotten you, but I need to advance some of the other threads before I can get back to yours. I apologize for the delay.

Scooby is busy and won't be joining us after all, but we still have plenty of players. I've just updated all of the threads except one, which I'm about to update soon.

Its finals week here at university, so I will be pretty busy. If I am missing for a few days at a time, do not be alarmed.

Thanks for letting me know, and that's all right. Your thread can move slowly with no problem anyway; it's already somewhat ahead of the others.

Welcome, mikc! Yes, I can squeeze you in! Go ahead and create a character using the instructions in the Character Creation and Discussion thread any time you're ready. If you have any questions, just ask. You can use either the Musician or Entertainer template for occupational skills.

My power has been out for the last five days. It still isn't on (I'm using a library computer), so my posting should be a bit erratic until it is restored.

It came back on last night. Then there was a thunderstorm, and it went out again. At least I hadn't restocked the refrigerator.
