'The Lounge Bohemia' - OOC thread

[Airbornexo]

Welcome to the Lounge Bohemia

Your usual table sir? Here is the OOC for the new Trail of Cthulhu game....The Primer! Enjoy. I shall be slowly setting up threads and bits and bobs over the next couple of weeks in between my exam marking work. Forgive the initial glacial pace of me adding stuff, once the game gets into gear it should be full speed ahead. Why the Lounge Bohemia? I don't know I just googled London clubs and picked it because I liked the name....there will be quite a lot of historical hand-waving during this adventure no doubt.

Cheers, Hal

Airbornexo, in "Dramatis Personae" it s/be Felix Henriot and not Frank. Oh, BTW, I love the sepia portraits.

[Airbornexo]

Ooops not sure why my brain read that as Frank

Cheers, Hal

Grimes enters the pub at 1E Great Eastern Street and surveys the patrons. The job at hand can wait. The Bitter can't.
We'll have time to save the world before tea, no doubt. Just one pint and then we're set.

He walks up to the barkeep and nods. "Cheers! A pint Fuller's Bitter." ... He puts his plain clothes hat on the counter and adds: "Please."

Yes, we got a proper, well stocked bar! This will be a good one!
Good luck all around and see you on the other side, chaps!

I'm actually going to relocate the Lounge to Covent Garden to make it more convenient for the yard

Cheers, Hal

I've dropped you a PM Hal with a background for Sam.

[Airbornexo]

Hopefully the first threads should be up and running by the weekend - I know people are away so we'll start slowly.

Cheers, Hal

Ready and waiting

[Tabs]

Me too!

[Dave Syrinx]

Waiting, while taking a scotch for every goal in the World Cup.

[Mr. Handy]

I'm ready to start too!

[Airbornexo]

Handy when you return could you point me in the direction of your sources of stability as I can't seem to find them

Millicent and Felix both have a newspaper seller/boy as a source of stability so would it be okay to fuse them together - this also gives them another link to suggest a burgeoning friendship of sorts. I was thinking Robert Arnold 19 year old paper vendor from Stepney... Does that sound okay?

Cheers, Hal

[Tabs]

Yes, that's fine, Robert Arnold it is.

Just read up on Samuel Reed in the "cast" topic, it's good to have the (slightly dodgy) antiques dealer aboard.

[Airbornexo]

This seems to be ticking over nicely now, any issues? Posting speed okay?

As I said, when Handy returns, I move things along - inside the apartment and then you can take your investigations wherever they please you.

Sam has a reasonably passive role at present, but there is a hook to draw him into the story in a while Thanks for your patience.

Cheers, Hal

[Priest]

Robert Arnold is okay with me too.

[Mr. Handy]

I asked when we were creating characters if we got Sources of Stability, as the rules seem to state that they're only for Pulp games, but if we do get them here are mine:

• Jacqueline Wells - best friend and fellow student
• Kate Somerville - mother, musician
• Alfred Somerville - father, museum curator
• Professor Rupert Garrison - instructor at college and Amanda's mentor

[Airbornexo]

Thanks Handy using them as story ties rather than mechanical 'stability fixes'
Cheers, Hal

Just binged on S1 of Twin Peaks which I'd not watched since I was 17 - still holds up as good quality TV

Starting S2 now and happily I can't remember what happens and I've discovered I've never watched the movie Fire Walk With Me....onwards!!!

Cheers, Hal

[Dave Syrinx]

The music theme is quite good too.
