Ms. Ashallin's Lounge [OOC Chat]

[Kadael]

A general thread for out-of-character chit-chat and discussion. Whether game-related or not, the conversation can be steered in any direction.

I am waiting for a bus and it is raining. Will post more later!

[Tabs]

It's always exciting to start a new game.

So, we are citizens of Arkham's Southside and can play whoever we can imagine?

[Kadael]

You definitely don't have to be a resident of Southside - anywhere in Arkham is good. So yes, you can play just about anybody.

[Kadael]

Look! Threads! Go go go!

[Mr. Handy]

Are we allowed to read each other's threads, or just our own?

[Kadael]

Just your own, please.

[Tabs]

I'm moving house today, so I don't have time to post in "Perception."

[Tabs]

Everything okay with this game? I haven't had a reply in 9 days . . .

[Kadael]

I'm terribly sorry, everyone! I got wrapped up in socializing with a new friend. New round of posts coming right up.

[Mr. Handy]

I'll be away at a convention, leaving mid-afternoon on July 4 and returning the night of July 8 (though I might not be able to post until the night of July 9).

[Mr. Handy]

If you want to continue the game, I'm ready to play when you are.

[Kadael]

This will definitely be continued as soon as we can get a few replacement players!

[royya]

I'm Here.

Official Update on the State of the Game

It's been a week since I sent messages to the players, and only royya and Mr. Handy have given any sort of response. The way I see it, we have a few options here:

1) Aggressively recruit new players to take over old characters

2) Aggressively recruit new players to join at all and try to ease new characters into the adventure somehow

3) Since we aren't far at all into the game, start it over and recruit new players. You guys can keep your old characters but you may experience some déjà vu.

Both of you have been Keepers so I'd be especially glad to hear your thoughts.

[Mr. Handy]

I'd be okay with any of those options. I think the important thing is to recruit the new players. Then you can offer them the choice of taking over existing characters or creating new ones. If they opt for new ones, option 3 would make more sense than option 2.

[royya]

I second Handy

[Kadael]

Captain Impossible is returning to us. Rejoice!

[Laraqua]

All right. I'm on board and awaiting a character. Happy to do whatever reading is necessary.

[Kadael]

Happier Update on the State of the Game

Now that Captain Impossible has returned, and Laraqua and Dr. West have joined us, we have enough players. I will NPC Jean unless or until someone new picks her up.

In a Different Light officially resumes tomorrow.

[Laraqua]

All read up and ready to go.
