Hi Team! Sorry, just checked and found we're back on deck. Right, better late than never, to business! Andy

All right, Mr. De Mille, I'm ready for my close-up.

Grant struck a hunter's pose upon the head of the great beast, stroking his elephant gun's muzzle lovingly as the wind ruffled his moustache romantically, he basked in the admiring gaze of Shana, the Atlantean Jungle Warrior Princess.

Now that is a great image, Bookhounds the H Rider Haggard edition. Fewer books, more villanous native witch doctors and tigers.

Post up, sorry for slight delay, internet problems. Still meant I had more time to read Neil 'Between the Lines, Drop the Dead Donkey, etc.' Pearson's excellent biography/bibliography of Kahane and Obelisk. Just reading the various authors' histories. Some very intriguing people published with old Jack. And that is without counting the people like Joyce and Miller.

[Taavi]

Do people like the game blurb? or is it too silly?

[Tabs]

Interesting blurb . . . but what does it mean ?

[andyw666]

I think the blurb is great! Very Bookhounds.

Allow me to introduce Tabs. Tabs wishes to play the role of Long John Copper, haunted war veteran and match-seller to the gentry.

Welcome! I hope you enjoy the game.

Hi all,

Because Quinch hassn't posted or responded to messages for the last 3 months, I must reluctantly conclude that he has dropped out.

The role of Luke, booklegger and topic of a curious amnesia, will now be played by Cearlan who has kindly stepped into the breach.

Welcome! I hope you enjoy the game, and that chitinous noise isn't serious.

I think the surgeons used to say something like that before they cut the limbs off maimed sailors after battle ... "This won't hurt al all ...

Thanks for the welcome - just hope I can step into the breach left by Quinch adequately.

I have taken some liberties with the book's description above but if this goes against your own description or needs then feel free to amend as needed.

It isn't stated whether the Landlord is up in the attic with Luke or not - if not, then Luke would probably try and conceal the book if he thought he could get away with it - purely for research purposes of course. After all, you gotta make your own luck - and as Horace is often quoted as saying "Carpe diem quam minimum credula postero" or "Seize the Day, putting as little trust as possible in the future"

Also at the start of the investigation, Luke had to pay some extra cash to customs officials when returning from Paris - could this be a contact or am I looking too deeply into things?

I like it, it conveys Grant's problems very well.

[Tabs]

Welcome! I hope you enjoy the game.

Thanks. Hi all.

I've filled in google doc. Investigator Matrix. The points add up and I've remained faithful to abilities in the occupations discussed. Trust all is okay.

[Bookman]

Welcome aboard both, I was just thinking the game needed more parrots.

My sincere apologies. Apparently the dice mod is still in beta and not rolled out across all forums yet. Sorry for giving you the wong information. Back to Invisible Castle then.

Hi all, somehow the button for dice is missing.
I, however, activated dice on your forum.
The code is as follows:

Code: Select all

[dice]1d100[/dice]

So, I roll 1d100: [dice]0[/dice]

To change to 1d20 or 3d6 for instance just swap the value between the brackets.
Cheers!
