Welcome Dadde2819! Guys, we have a new addition to the team, so to speak. Roy Batty will be introduced shortly.
I´ll spend some time setting these threads up.

If you like to put up some detailed info on background and personality, you may add that to the cast of characters thread. Just post a reply and write it up.

ehyaa thx all!

Welcome Dadde2819! Feel free to post in the in-game thread. We will have some time lapses between posting as we are divided between the US, Australia and Europe. Not a big problem with Pbp, though. Count on at least 24h between replies to posts. My aim is to keep this game on quite a high pace. We´ll see how that goes...

Anyway, we have a full team of players and some spots open for later in the game. So, welcome all - both old and new players. About two weeks left but I see all of you are on board. What do you guys say we start the game on Saturday 20 November instead?

UPDATE New launch date: 20 November

As things are pretty set up, I see no problem with this.

We say hello to Houngan, who will be joining us!

Just waiting for the helicopter to land...

Hello all.

welcome
Should be an interesting game ;P

@ Richard Maroon, Samuraiante: Knock knock!

I welcome Kabukiman to the mission and the wake of the Red Queen! Good luck to you, sir!

All in all we´re on our way! If there´s something that´s unclear, post your concerns in spolier tags or simply PM me about your worries

I hope you´re finding it, at least, not too slow paced. And hopefully somewhat fun.

/Dave

Hi! I'm the new player with an old character- Johnny.

Welcome, Kabukiman!

I'm enjoying the game so far. I'm sure it'll be even more interesting once zombies and other monstrosities start showing up.

Thanks! I hope to enjoy too the game.

Sorry for the wait, guys. I had to take a couple of weeks to see to my family. Now things look better and the game is on again.
Cheers!

Hi all,

just to say I'm lurking and enjoying what I've read so far! Keep up the great work Dave!

Cheers, Hal

Cheers man!
I´m off to update the other game and will deal with this one later today. Hopefully there will be some dead ends killed off...

Hi all...

Syrinx is hooking me up with the strings to pull in order to take over one of your abandoned characters. Probably be Collins, by the sounds of it. Figure ya'll might be needing a medic eventually.

Yup, the sheet is coming your way, Imp. The basics are in the Cast list, though. Welcome!

John started to work in a small company with financial problems as soon he finished college. He helped the company to avoid the bankruptcy, getting a big reputation in the business world; he was immediately offered a job in the Umbrella Corporation, and John simply jumped to the offer. After some time, he managed to turn himself indispensable in the selling department and managed to be promoted to junior director (making the previous director to lose his position). He always read very carefully the info he receives about the new products, so he may look very convincing to sell them.
John is arrogant and very self-confident by his success; he is completely unscrupulous as long as he think he isn’t caught.. He has bought a new apartment and a Maserati. He changes regularly of girlfriend and is having an affair with his secretary.


Kim played by Airbornexo

Investigator Name: Kim Kirkland

Occupation: Auto Mechanic
Colleges, Degrees: None
Birthplace: Raccoon City
Mental Disorders: None
Sex: F Age: 24

Background

Kim Kirkland is a young woman of independent means the owner of Kirkland Autos and lives above the workshop in a small flat. She had always been brought up with an enquiring mind around her father's Auto shop, encouraged to tinker with engine parts after school. At the age of 18 her father died of a brain embalism and left her the workshop and a heap of debts to pay. An only child of a single parent family, Kim was left all on her own and decided to make a go of the shop to honour her father's memory rather than sell it on. It was, after al, her only link to the past apart from her collection of photographs of her long gone mother.

Running the workshop occupied her full time and she dropped out of college but to be honest her heart was never in it and she is most at home working on cars and bikes. In the last couple of years she has turned the business around, made possible by securing a contract with Raccoon city Police Department to service all of their patrol motorcycles. The business doing well, Kim's personal life was and still is a mess. Her latest boyfriend, Matt, was shown the door after he raised his hand to her. She has since had to buy the shotgun that she keeps in the workshop to persuade Matt to leave her alone as he didn't get the message and kept returning, liquored up, starting trouble.

Her pride and joy is the 2003 Buell Firebolt XB9R Motorcycle that she keeps covered in the back of the workshop. Every weekend she takes the bike for a spin around the city to blow the problems of the week out of her head. Her other release is the boxing classes that she has been attending for six months, another remnant of the car-crash relationship with Matt.

Ammo report #1

Hello guys I'll be playing Kim!

Cheers, Hal

Yup, hi Hal! Mr.H is on vacation over in UK. Probably back by the end of the month. Imp, Iggy and Kabs are with us regularly though. Btw. Where did you find that pic for Kim? I tried an inverted pic search and came up empty.

http://www.tineye.com/ If you need to find who a picture shows, or have more pictures similar to the one you have - upload an e-dress or pic from your hd and voila!

Found out that Crawford´s model is digital Looks real to me... But is the creation of Franz Steiner.

Hi Airbornexo. Glad to have you with us. Can't trust these bot NPCs.

Yes, i'm back for now, though I'll be gone again starting late on Thursday until Sunday night. I'll have Internet access while I'm away, but not much time to use it. I probably won't have much on Sunday night either, and I go back to work on Monday.

She does look so real. It's hard to believe that she's made from whole cloth, but now that you mention it I can see that she looks a bit too perfect. There's not a single line on her face.

Welcome, Hal! Good to see that Kim has also migrated to this game, but I hope the other RE game eventually resumes too.

Yes, let´s hope so. Royya was just in for a short spell. Don´t know where he went. Guess we´ll see him soon again. We´re keeping an eye on that entrance. Got to get those elevators going, aye.

Actually my guess was that it was a real person and improved with fotoshop.

Hale- unarmed
Kim- .50
Heather- .50
C.L.- grenades & HK5

Larsen, Crawford, Collins & Weiss- Fully armed

I don't think I expended my entire magazine before I reloaded, so I should still have a partial one. I just didn't have too many rounds left in it and didn't want to be caught short.

I´ll put the spare mag on the list. Just followed what you stated Larsen did earlier. My bad.

Not gone fishing, just clearing my thoughts. Will post updates over the weekend.
Over and out!
/Dave

Hi!
From now I will be playing Heather's character.
Please, be patient with me. It is not just my first game here but also English is not my mother tongue.
But I will do my best.

Cheers!

Welcome and have a nice time here with us!

Welcome, Lorena! Have fun!

Have fun

!!! It is not fun in being pursued by zombies. Actually I did not wanted to come either but someone has to save your arses from this zombie menace, guys ...

And now seriously speakin': Thanks for the warm welcome. I hope we enjoy together. I am getting used to this website's format.
I have to warn you that a few weeks ago I was not advised about what a rpg is. This game's rules are utter unknown for me. I do not know either how to roll the dice. I will play Heather's character like if I would be improvising in the theater stage giving her actions and personality, and I let you decide how they fit in a rule.

By the way: the system log me out pretty soon and sometimes I have no time to finish my post. Is that normal?

Lot of Love,
Lorena.

Oh, thank god. Lorena's here. *whew*

No, that isn't normal for a browser to do that. You might try a different browser program, or check that your cookie files are not being deleted somehow automatically through the browser settings.

I had the option of automatically refresh the page on in my mozilla (firefox) some time ago. That resulted in unfinished posts as well. I had to disable that plugin. But in the first place I had to install it... It didn´t come with the browser.

Regarding the game system. It´s the same as at Umbria. It´s pecentage based.
To roll a die, just go to Invisible Castle and fill in the character name "Heather" and the number of rolls. "1" Then what die you roll. "1d100"
Your target to roll against when shooting at the zombies should be 55% (or something close to that)
Push the roll button.

You don´t need to sign in to use the roller.

When rolled you get a result and a list of formatted links. Click on the bottom one bbc -code: 1d100=8
It might auto copy by turning yellow - then you can paste it into your post. Or you have to mark and copy it manually.

Alternatively you write a post and declare what Heather will do and I can manage the rolling of dice.

/Dave

Getting into character is really the key to roleplaying. The rules and dice are secondary, and in Call of Cthulhu they're fairly easy to learn.

I wrote step-by-step instructions for using Invisible Castle for one of my games in this link, including how to embed your rolls in links that show descriptive text in your post, but the site has had some changes since then. You can still roll dice without logging in, but you can't put anything in the Note section to describe what you're rolling in that case. You can also now enter the name of the campaign in a separate box from your character name, but I think you have to be logged in for that too.

Back on track...
