OOC - Chapter 1

The Big Apple - a booming city in the grip of a bitter winter and the excitement of an upcoming eclipse.
A close friend returns home a changed man; the fate of the world is now in his hands, but it may already be too late.

I'd prefer not to relocate characters, and after thinking through things, I'd really prefer to keep as many of the original friends of Jackson in the game as possible, as those investigators have the greatest incentive to keep going as the campaign moves from location to location.

Given that we're at such an early stage of the campaign, I'll recruit any additional players on the basis that they take over James or DL. CrackheadC has been in touch, and won't have time to post actively in the near future, and I don't expect that Job is likely to return soon either. I'm thinking of recruiting a single extra player and then letting the remaining investigator leave the group. That would leave eight active investigators, including Dave who can't post at the moment - eight is about my limit anyway I think.

@Mr.Handy - Amy is slightly out of sync with the others, so I'm going to wait until the third and fourth floor groups each do their next thing or talk a little more before she sets off back upstairs.

HoneyDog will be taking over playing James.

Welcome HoneyDog. :)

DL will stick around as an NPC for now, he'll be retired at a convenient point unless Job reappears first.

It's just as well that I had to wait, as I'm away and haven't had much time anyway.

Thank you all very much. Please give me a little time to read through the posts. Everyone contributes a lot of dialogue, so it looks like a lot of fun. I hope you'll enjoy my efforts.

That's fine Honeydog, begin posting once you've caught up.

I don't think that anyone's waiting for a post from me at the moment, so I'll sit back until needed.

The first cops are going to take a few minutes to arrive, so there's time to continue your own investigations if you wish.

Happy Thanksgiving to any US players (and anyone else who celebrates Thanksgiving). Thank you for helping get my game going again. :D

I've noticed, on my phone at least, that the handouts are being cut off at the right hand edge.

I'll try to tidy things up tonight, as well as posting all the murder scene handouts to the handouts thread.

Note that I've also swapped the Penhew Foundation business card for a "better looking" one.

*LAUGH* I had assumed that the handouts were deliberately missing parts to add to the mystery.

Wow, two pocket handkerchiefs, one to secure a prison, one to save an innocent man's life - Bilbo would be proud.

I've had a busy day, so haven't time for a longer post. I'll sort out stuff upstairs in my next post. Royya, I'm assuming that Clark still prefers to keep clear of the cops?

Everyone else, I assume, is sticking around Jackson's room to talk to them?

James shot someone so he'll have to talk to the police.

Tremayne will stay on the third floor, awaiting the arrival of the police to take custody of the unconscious machete thug. Teenage is assuming he will need to give a detailed statement and explain himself to the authorities.

@Andy, the other three were taking the thug back upstairs while Tremayne administered first aid.

The cops will obviously be visiting this floor as well though.

Oops, sorry, Tremayne goes where the sleeping thug is now.
