The Zero Room - OOC Chat Thread

I will be out of touch (sitting on a wet hillside in rainy Wales) until Saturday. Mr. Handy could you npc Karin please? If we get to meet the others in that time she will be keen to administer to any wounded and catch up with Elizabeth and Thorn if they meet again. She will be keeping a close eye on Bruce when he wakes.

Hello there, I'm new to play by post but I'll be playing Sergent Kohl from now on. Haven't caught up to the storyline but I'm working on it. Hope to start playing/posting ASAP.

[Mr. Handy]

Welcome aboard! I won't be able to update or send you your secrets tonight, but I plan to do so tomorrow night.

[Mr. Handy]

I went ahead and sent you a PM with your secrets, so you can start posting any time once you catch up.

Do I need to use this invisible castle thing for rolls, or can i just use real dice?

[CrackheadC.]

Everyone uses invisiblecastle for their rolling. It takes a few seconds to register an account, but when you have one you can keep a record of you characters and campaigns. I believe it's a pretty good way to keep people honest and make things easy for the keeper because if you have to put your character name and the campaign into the fields when you roll - Mr. Handy can just search via Campaign name or specific character.

[smug_jaguar]

righto, i'll work it out then .

[Thorn]

Welcome, smug_jaguar

[Mr. Handy]

Welcome, smug_jaguar!

Thanks, Crackhead, for the explanation. On occasion Invisible Castle goes down. If that happens, you can always use an alternative dice roller or real dice, but it's a lot easier if there's a searchable record on Invisible Castle.

The bad storms hitting the US east coast has left me without power and the electric company said it could be a few days. That said I'm not sure how soon I'll be able to jump back into the thick of things. Hopefully no later than mid-week.

Checking in for quick in character post before setting off for airport. Should be back to normal posting by tomorrow.

[jaysun81]

Back in action.

[Mr. Handy]

Welcome back!

[Mr. Handy]

I had forgotten to start Edward Barrett's new thread last night when I closed out Last Dance, but I've posted it now and edited in a link to it in the final post of Last Dance. It is called Awakening.

I woke up to sad news today: Mary Tamm has died. She played the first version of Romana, in the Key to Time series. That was the first time I saw Dr Who, as a young girl aged 5. And the character she portrayed was an incredibly strong role model for any girl watching. I've always thought she was one of the strongest companions. I was gutted when she regenerated into Lalla Ward. Such a sad loss, the latest in a long line. The 1970s stars are going more and more.

Yesterday, the guy who played George Jefferson died too. Now, I guess he's 'moving on up'.

Though The Invisible Enemy was probably the first Doctor Who story I saw, her apperances in the Key to Time were part of my early experiences with the show too, when I was 7 years old in 1981.

"She was the noblest Romana of them all."

I just saw in comments on an article about Mary Tamm that Caroline John, who played Liz Shaw, also died recently. She was a favorite of mine too.

[jaysun81]

Such a shame to see the "saints" of the Whoniverse passing.

I hope a few more of the former companions get a chance to pop up in the show.

[CrackheadC.]

Guys I am on vacation until Sunday. Ill try to check in while I am gone but if I hold up the game for a day just npc me until i get back.

[Mr. Handy]

No problem. Have fun!
