No worries on the break Dave and Tabs, I'll NPC your characters if necessary :)

I'm hoping (if I have time) to do some more little video handouts.

Cheers, Hal

Dave, That is so wild. On Legend Quest this week the star was hunting the Spear of Destiny and tracked it to Wewelsberg Castle in Wewelsberg Germany. In the ritual room at the bottom of the castle. That same symbol as on the book was carved into the roof of the chamber. Very weird.

I know the swastika is actually linked to mystical meanings all over the world from China to Peru.

I don't mind the delay, and it worked out better for me. During the week, I can only get online and post at night, as there's no time in the morning before I go to work and I'm not allowed to at work. If you'd gone ahead earlier, I wouldn't have had a chance to post at all.

    From Beyond, should be on your list ;) IMDB

    Call me crazy, but didn´t the small port village in The Shipping News come across as Lovecraftian, or just utterly odd, odd enough to pass for Innsmouth half breeds?

    I was trying to come up with a character for this game and just couldn't seem to find anything that spoke to me. Not to mention, I recalled - looking at the character sheet - that I'm not a big fan of the CoC system. (I think I'd fail a maddness check just typing out all the skills and their associated checks) But I'll probably ghost around and watch to see how things are going from time to time.

    The character concept for Kirsten grabbed me months ago while I was still anticipating this game, and she's a lot of fun to play. I know there are an awful lot of skills, but it's possible just to type a list of the non-default skills you have, which usually are only about a dozen or a little more. I think I only typed out the entire list once. After that, I just copied and pasted existing character sheets and changed the details. I enjoyed reading Malleus Calixis, but I was unfamiliar with both the rules and the setting, so it would not have been easy for me to play. This game has the same high standards, so I'm sure you'll at least enjoy the read even if you don't play.
