Play@YSDC

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!

It's always exciting to start a new game.

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

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

Look! Threads! Go go go!

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

Just your own, please.

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

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

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

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).

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

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

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.

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.

I second Handy

Captain Impossible is returning to us. Rejoice!

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

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.

All read up and ready to go.

Are we continuing in the threads?

Yes, whenever you're ready.

Alright! I meant to post yesterday that I had caught up on the reading and was ready to begin, but hadn't been validated yet. All set now, and quite excited! *twiddles mustache*

A Q for the players and GM.
So, some of us got some clues on how to proceed further ( I know I do), how are we going to gather a party ?

I have mysterious Keeper plans.

I also totally expect you guys to be splitting up and rejoining from time to time. This game has a lot of avenues to investigate and I am prepared.

If you guys end up partying on your own that's cool too.

I'll respond to posts made when I can--I'm not well right now and my brain's a little Don't worry about keeping up, as long as you can post once a week it's all good.

Scary scary scary scary solstice, everybody.

By the way, since the holidays are invading, I fully expect posting to slow down for the time being. Doesn't mean you necessarily have to stop, but I won't be prodding you over PMs since a lot of people are busy and/or out of town.

Prodding will resume in 2014.

I'm ready to resume when you are.

Henry Witherspoon and Peter Walton are a little ahead of everyone else, time-wise, so those threads are going to slow a bit until the others get caught up.

I'm here ... no holidays are invading Israel.
Happy new year.

I know things are going pretty slow right now. I've been trying my hardest to reanimate this game (maybe it wasn't fresh enough). Things will pick up, I promise.

Thank you all for staying with the game. I really appreciate it.

I'm going to be away from the night of Saturday, February 15 until Monday, February 24 and will probably not be able to post.

Excuse me while I do the "everybody's-in-the-same-thread" dance.

And thanks for the heads up, Mr. Handy.

So, I get the impression many of us are at a loss on how to proceed. Any thoughts?

I will be away to a trip in Europe from the 21 to 27 with a limited internet access and not much time.
I hope I'll have time to post here and there.

I've attempted to revive this game at least twice now with minimal success, which is due to my failing as a Keeper. I couldn't keep up, and because of this I've let my players down.

I think it's time this game was closed, and I am deeply sorry. All that I can do is carry my mistakes with me so that I won't make them again.

I can move it to the Graveyard. I'll leave it up a few more days so that others can see (plus I won't have time to move it during the week). If you ever want to pick it up again, just let me know and I'll bring it back. I'd be willing to keep playing if you do.

Sorry this game was lost. Is Genevieve available to re-claim in the future by her creator lol ... Just itching to get back online and start playing again!!

Welcome back, Pickman! You can always access the Graveyard as long as you're logged in (it's visible near the top of the home page) and retrieve your character for use in another game. None of the games I'm running right now are classic era, but your characters in Zombie Apocalypse are still alive and kicking, and you're free to pick them back up again if you wish.

Thanks Mr. Handy. I'll definitely have to refresh my memory....can't believe two years has passed. I recently purchased ToC and have been studying that system. At any rate, I hope to get active again
