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?

I'll let you know all of that and set up a new thread for you when I have time. Unfortunately, I haven't slept much in the last week and don't have enough time tonight. I'll have to look back at those threads, but I think Barney found out about Brian and Mary by talking to Kathleen and Maxine and overhearing conversations in the bar.

I'm sorry for the delay in getting things started for the new players, but it's been a rough week and I haven't been able to get it done. I had little sleep for the first half of the week, and then I had to get a broken tooth removed and I'm still recovering. I'll try to get it ready as soon as I can, but I don't have much time during the week, so it may need to wait until next weekend.

No, that's still to come. I plan to get things moving this weekend. I've had even less sleep last week, though I did manage to get some last night.

I'm afraid I ran out of time again this weekend, but I'll try my best to get things going next weekend at the latest.

Okay, I've updated both of your threads and got Imp started in his new one (Comfortably Numb). I hope to get the new players started this weekend.

Hi guys,

just a heads up that I'll be away from Sunday until Thursday next week. I may be able to post from my phone but I'm going to 'foreign parts' so don't know how well it will work.

Cheers,

Phil.

Thanks for the notice, and have fun! I know I wasn't able to connect from my phone the last time I was in London (except in a handful of wifi hotspots), even though I was supposed to be able to, so I know it can be problematic.

Hey, sorry about dissappearing. Its final exams time here in China, and life has been really busy for the last couple of weeks. I think things should return to some semblance of normality now.

Welcome back, and don't sweat it! Your thread can proceed at its own pace, and you're ahead of the other players in the timeline anyway.

Heading out to California for some work - not sure how it will effect my gaming. But feel free to NPC me if necessary.

Welcome to Garrett, who will be joining the game soon!

Unfortunately, I won't have time to add his character sheet or start a new thread for him tonight. I haven't had much sleep lately, and I've spent much of the last few hours handling various posts and PMs that popped up. Before I can add Garrett's character, I need to update Zombie Apocalypse, which is long overdue.

Geh. Sorry I vanished again. I'm up to my eyeballs in grading exams here in China. I should finish in the next couple of days.

Welcome back, and take all the time you need.

I'll be away from July 4-8, so I won't be able to post during that time starting around mid-afternoon on the 4th.
