OOC-Chapter 5-Dead of Night-General Discussion

[Mr. Handy]

Okay, have fun! Thanks for letting me know.

[Tabs]

I'm away for a week.

[Mr. Handy]

Thanks for letting me know.

[Mr. Handy]

Due to intermittent Internet problems which were really bad tonight, I was unable to update. I'll do so on Thursday night if it's at all possible, so please post if you haven't done so already.

[Mr. Handy]

Unfortunately, I had another Internet outage for the fourth night in a row, so I won't be able to update tonight either. I plan to update most sections on Friday night provided my connection stays up.

[ImpInTraining]

Funny, I hadn't had a moment or two to check for new messages on any of my games on here in about a week or more ... and nothing really had moved along. Don't know if I should be relieved, or disturbed... but better to have the slow pace now while life is so busy than later when I'm bored silly.

I'll stick with it no matter what - so long as you keep coming back Mr. Handy, I'll be here waiting for you.

[Mr. Handy]

Thanks. I think what's happening now is just the normal seasonal slowdown. This seems to happen every year in June, July, and August. I think we can finish Chapter 5 by the end of July, and I plan to start Chapter 6 in early September.

I've updated Gold and Juno, and I intend to update Sword and Omaha on Saturday,

[Dave Syrinx]

Yup, it´s that damned lawn that keeps needing to get moved. And the hedge has to be trimmed! All those things. I´ll be able to sneak off tonight and do some mercy posting.
Cheers, all!

[Mr. Handy]

Welcome to Trott, who is taking over the characters of Raquel Orozco, Vice Principal Sharon Kaplan, and Diana Forester!

[Mr. Handy]

I will be going to a convention from July 7-11 and I won't have Internet access then (or time to use it even if I did). I will, however, be off from work before that starting on July 3, so I'll have more time to post then. I'm also going to be on vacation in Vancouver from July 29-August 9, and I don't expect to have Internet access then either. I will have more time to post on August 10-15, as I'll be off from work for the remainder of that week. Most of the people whose games I'm in are in one or both of my games, so this will serve as notice for them of my impeding absences. I had hoped to finish Chapter 5 by the time I left at the end of July, but some of the sections will probably not conclude until mid-August.

[Mr Zombie killer]

Mr Handy may I announce my upcoming game on this thread as well?

[Mr. Handy]

Sure, you can discuss whatever you like in this thread. That's what it's for.

[Mr Zombie killer]

Okay i am plannning to start a new game soon and I am recruting players. I have 4 players now and would like at least 1 more but will take more then that. Below is a rough outline of a story. The background is simple. A terrorist group known as The Sons of Liberty has hurt the US after they helped assassinate President Obama, Vice President Biden, Speaker of the House Pelesi and then helped set up a millitary backed cabel called The Directory which has imposed martial law. Our heros will attempt to use wormholes to go into the future and the past and find out where the Sons of Liberty intends to strike next so that the US Goverment can stop them in thier tracks. Of course things will go haywire and the group will end up traveling into the past and maybe into the future. I will draw up characters but at this point am looking for about 4-5 dedicated players and there may be room for more. So if you are interested please post below or pm me. This will be kind of like a mix between Sliders and Stargate.

Time: 5:00 PM
Place: Department of Homeland Security, Washington DC

Professor Martin Brooks of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute stepped out of his cab into the sultry heat of an early DC evening. He was tired having taught that morning and been called down to the Department around noon traveling since then. As he walked into the Department, his eyes caught the latest headlines blaring about an attack by the Army of God on a munitions train bound for Los Angeles. He silently wished that The Directory was able to do something to stop this terrorist group and he longed for the days of democratic elections and not having to carry an ID card everywhere you went. Stepping into the air conditioned building he went through the usual security check and then was met by Agent William Howe of the CIA Directorate of Science and Technology and Captain Neil Strauss of the US Marine Corps. They led him to a conference room, offered him water, and then Agent Howe said,

“Well Professor this meeting is off the record. We have met with several of your colleagues along with reading your writings and the US government is intrigued by your theory of Wormhole Observing. So to make this simple and sweet. Do you truly believe that with the proper government funding you can form a team and make this occur?”

Professor Brooks smiled and said, “Yes I can.”

Captain Strauss then said, “Well then you may be the man we are looking for. We have taken your theories and tried to put them into practice but have not been successful so far. We need you to take a leave of absence, recruit a team, and then with our backing and funding prove your theories. Would you be interested in this job?”

Professor Brooks grinned again and nodded.

[ImpInTraining]

You know, that sounds pretty cool. Is it going to be horror-based, or sci-fi like it seems? What system do you plan on using?

[Mr Zombie killer]

It is going to be more sci fi. Using the Call of Cthulhu system but not planning to bring in monsters unless.....we end up either in the future, on some planet..or fuck up some how the past aka butterfly effect and go to a alternate future where Cthulhu monsters rule. But right now this plans to be a long term game for me so many adventures...many areas of time.

[ImpInTraining]

How fast is the posting rate?

[Mr Zombie killer]

I intend to post a major update at least once a week but life always take precidence first with me and my players. If you cannot post for some reason and you let me know, either your character will not do anything during that turn or if we are in a fight I will roll for you to avoid you getting killed or hurt. I am a very sympathic GM.

[Trott]

Mr. Handy, just to let you know I'll be out of town until next Monday, so I won't be able to access the internet.

[Mr. Handy]

Thanks for letting me know. I won't have Internet access either until Sunday night, but I can update Sword one last time before I go.

[ImpInTraining]

Yeah man ... I can live with that posting rate. If you are still taking players Mr. Zombie Killer, just let me know and I'll be glad to oblidge. Prerolled characters available?
