OOC Chat

A decade ago, a band of occult investigators battled against the summoning of an ancient and monstrous evil. They failed. Now you must piece together the puzzle and finish what they could not. The stakes are high, and so is the price to pay. Can you do it?

I'll read up.

Clarence is fine with me.
Ok, then take a look at the character sheet. If you feel you want to move around a few points, it's ok by me (also, since it's the end of a chapter, you'll get a few points to spend anyway).

The points are fine, but I do have some questions.

Is there a way to change the image on Clarence's character sheet? It might seem off, but I prefer an image that is more in line with the time period.

I noticed that Clarence has "photography". Does this mean he has a camera?

Ok, I think there's no problem. I'll change the picture, for now you can use the new one.

Clarence can have a camera if you want. The ability means that he knows how to use one.

The investigators decided to check the land records, so you're back in LA right now. The group is currently deciding for the next move, which might be heading to New Mexico, following a few clues leading there, or doing some more investigation in LA.

So, everyone:
- you get 1 point to spend on your Investigative abilities (including selecting a new one, providing it makes sense for your investigator to have gained it)
- you get 2 points to spend on General abilities (again, you can select a new one)

Those of you that need it (namely, Holly and Ian) recover half their Stability lost during this scenario, rounded down. It could be a nice touch, if you want, to write a letter to a source of stability of your choice, reflecting your investigator's thoughts and feelings on this tiring investigation and the toll it's having on you.

Could one (or more) of us pick up a point in Languages and learn Spanish? If so, I'd like to do that, as I have several Interpersonal skills that would be more useful that way. Otherwise, I'd like to pick up Archaeology.

For my General abilities, I'd like to put the 2 points into Scuffling as I learn the basics of self-defense.

Well, you did not have enough time to learn a language, and no one to learn from. Given more time along the campaign, sure, but not right now.

I'm afraid we might have lost him. Poor Clarence must be cursed. Perhaps he dug out some ancient idol during a journey to Egypt. Anyway, I'll NPC him for now, and wait a couple of weeks, before taking a final decision.

Cameron will spend 1 point on Assessing Honesty, and 2 points on Stealth, if that's okay.

If it makes sense, I would like to have 1 point in Locksmith and 2 points in Weapons.

Here's the letter to my Source of Stability:

To Sophie O'Rourke:

Los Angeles, March ____, 1937.

Sophie,

I hope this letter finds you well. The last time we spoke you were still shaken by the Texas incident. I hope you feel better now. I know it is not an usual thing for me to write you, but I want you to know that I'm alright. I'm in L.A. right now, ready to go elsewhere. For now you just have to know that I am fine, and into something really big. Something dark lurks within our society. Something I came to believe goes way beyond corrupt politicians and violent mobsters. I will tell you everything when I get back to Boston.

Looking forward to meet you again,
Ian

Ok, just to check, you mean Weapons (knives, clubs, etc.) and not Firearms right?

Got you a little bonus in Stability recovery for the letter ;)
