Cast iron frying pan? BONK!

When do they pass out the rocket launchers? I wanna get mine early. ha ha

[Mr. Handy]

And hand grenades! And dynamite!

Oooooooo! Points on knife and letter opener!

I'm impressed. Here I asked for a knife thrower and I get damage possibilites with my mighty letter opener....FEAR ME!!!! lol

Heh, I decided to turn a joke into a quirky character aspect. Still, the policeman is all of your guyses' main powerhouse. He's the best shot and is a pretty good at administering first aid, too. Too bad Dark Young only take 1 damage from all firearms, save shotguns. You guys might have a chance if you team up with the cultists, who will be hard-pressed to be less mentally stable than your little troupe. If you can convince a couple, you might stand a chance. Or you can just drive away, though I won't let things be that simple...

Ironically, Evelyn might also be more than a helping hand against the Dark Young. They take full damage from melee weapons...including the almighty letter opener.

[trixie]

YES! I've always wanted to be a kick ass, knife throwing, letter opener tossing chick!

*pssshhttt*.........(opening the can of whoop ass)

I ask to be good at Throwing too! Throw Typewriter! Throw camera! There'll be a might amount of throwing things. See if we can't kill a Dark Young with junk.

[Mr. Handy]

Lanterns are fun to throw at things too!

I believe Walter Lehman is actually a slightly better shot with a handgun than Edward Garvin. He gets 3 shots per round, so he can cause up to 3 damage! Garvin's better with a shotgun, but we don't have one...yet.

Of course, the one problem with making melee attacks on a Dark Young is that you're also close enough for it to make melee attacks on you.

Do thrown staplers count as melee?

Harker is in Japan, so his timezone is GMT +9-ish.

[MysticalNun]

I'm on the east coast, USA too, so GMT -5. I'm usually on intermittently between 4:00PM and 10:00PM EST.

Sorry kabukiman, I'd rather not Keep more than five players at a time - it'd be too hectic with all the NPCs and monsters present already. Be sure to join the next one, if there is one - or check out the Games Looking for Players forum.

For the rest of you, we have our forum - and it started a whole new category too, hurrah! I'll get the game started soon.

I've got my Ph.D. in one hand and a donut in the other! My pistol is loaded and my sanity is fragile.

Edward is ready to go!
