OOC - Campaign Talk

At last the stars are almost right!

Soon Nyarlathotep's plans will come to fruition. Then the world will be changed irrevocably — but not quite yet. Pesky human investigators have learned much. Now they must survive long enough to make sense of what they know, and take resolute action.

Masks of Nyarlathotep is a Lovecraftian exercise in horror and mystery. This Call of Cthulhu roleplaying classic is a series of linked adventures forming one long and unforgettable campaign. Horrifying deeds and dangerous sorcery dog those who dare attempt to unravel the fate of the Carlyle Expedition

A big entertainer and a strong voice :D .
As in real life.

I guess you need a well rounded body to carry the voice when singing opera?

Knowing her, Thomson will realize his friend will not be a wall flower and he'll do his best to keep her level headed.

No not really. I am pretty easy.

Then, I'll sit back and relax. Assured that all things will turn out sweet as apple pie. Good to be on this side of the game for once.

Ok the game thread is up. We are starting at a party in New York City. You have been invited some way or another. Jackson Elias and Jonah Kensington are both there. Just jump in and have fun.

Mmm...I am the most educated, but least intelligent person among you, this will be interesting to play.

Btw. I think my character needs to go on a diet!

Ouch! That was... :roll: Sooo not mono, really stereo-typical. This is why I love this kind of game. It's like watching a movie. All be it you can nudge the story where you'd like it to go.
And...poor Amy.

Barely used red handkerchief at Thomson. Will lend out if needed. :D

Yes, poor Amy. :cry: Of course, I did know what I was in for when I signed up for this and set myself up for it, so no apologies are necessary.

I am going to bring the party to a close. You now have met the other people and done some socializing. Everyone knows Jackson one way or another.

What I need know is to know what your character is going to be doing for the next several months. At least until the end of the year.

Also I would like for Amy and Marga to become friends and hang out together.

Marga, if she is not going with Gerald to Africa, is offered a job as a singer in the Ziegfeld Follies on Broadway.

As for the hunting trip to Roger's farm, I don't think we will roleplay that but any characters that go will have a fun time shooting rabbits and turkeys.

I will also let every character make a improvement role in one skill of their choice as long as you can justify it during the next several months. The hunting trip would be a good reason to improve rifle or shotgun, studying at school to improve Archaeology, etc....

That works for me. Amy will hang out with Marga, and she will continue her studies at Columbia starting in September. I'll try to improve Archaeology (41% skill):

I rolled less than or equal to my skill, so there's no improvement.

Roger will stay in his farm, as usual. I'll take Electrical Repair as skill to improve, no other player has it and it could prove useful. Perhaps Roger had to fix something, a piece of machinery or something in the house.

Anyway, i rolled a 68: http://orokos.com/roll/353963 Successful improvement :D
Then a 8: http://orokos.com/roll/353965

Gerald will join in on the hunting and improves his shotgun handling.

http://www.dholeshouse.org/Tools/DiceVe ... 35110be38a

3 points of Shotgun = 63% in skill.

The months after the hunting trip, Gerald will spend preparing the Morocco trip of the now decided date March 7th 1925.

Marga hangs out with Amy, becoming fast friends, teaching her to be more in control of her feelings around Jackson.

Marga accepts the job as a singer in the Ziegfeld Follies on Broadway, until she can join Gerald on the Morocco trip of the now decided date March 7th 1925.
