The Athenaeum - Lounge (ooc)

[Dave Syrinx]

Welcome and let's talk!

First, how is the layout working is it breaking the forum-feeling or not?

[Mr. Handy]

It's different, but I like it. Adding pictures to the subforum legend is a nice touch. I didn't even know you could that.

[Dave Syrinx]

I thought I'd test what's possible. And hey, it worked!

[Mr. Handy]

Are we allowed to only look at our own character sheets? And should we not read the other players' threads?

[Dave Syrinx]

Feel free to be omnipotent and use the all seeing eye to follow the story. Don't tell your character, though.
I guess this is the only way to make heads and tails of the story. To get some glue to piece it all together with.

I'll add a communications thread for sharing information with allied parties, should you not want to read others threads.
There you can write diary entries as well.

[Dave Syrinx]

There's not very much in the character dossiers, but I wanted them handy. It was fun to find old Roger Carlyle in the French Masks edition...

[kabukiman]

The images were a great idea.
By the way, shouldn't Nigel have some points in antropology? Since he has traveled so much and dealed with natives in diferent places.

[Dave Syrinx]

Not being the most attentive adventurer, Blackwell receives a 1d12+3 % in Anthropology. He mostly quotes secondary sources in his works. He will have trouble going into depth describing specific differences between races in a correct linguistic manner.

[kabukiman]

Yes, that makes sense. He has superficial knowledge, enouth to impress someone outside of the field, but won't fool an expert. Or an amateur.

I'm starting to prefer this to castle. A 15 is good

[Dave Syrinx]

Looks like Nigel might have picked up bits and pieces, after all! Check out the maps section in New York to get the lay of the land.

[Dave Syrinx]

OK, so I improved the front page with clickable images. Now you don't need to aim for the text.
Hopefully you find the pre-history of MON to be at least readable.
Also, the introduction thread now hold some backstory agencies and persons of interest. As is the supporting cast thread.

Enjoy!

[Laraqua]

Need to figure out how to do that for The Last Express!

Greetings, I was invited to play in this scenario. This would be my first and I have little idea of how a Play by Post game works. Looking under the Cast section, I find that there is no name underneath Jackson Elias the Mythologist and thus I assume his spot is empty and would like to play as him. If not then I choose the old anthropologist from the supporting cast section. I hope this to be a fun and eldritch experience. Just direct me to what I need to read and where I need to post.

(edit)Ah! I see now. All playable characters are under the supporting characters section. I will go with Anthony Cowl then.

[Dave Syrinx]

Welcome drone232! I will send you the details of prof Cowles in a while. You may read the stories of the other characters to see what has happened so far. Remember that your character doesn't have your knowledge.

This is better?
