"Hell in Texas" finds our team of Global News Service investigative reporters recovering from the catastrophic results of their previous adventure in their homebase of Cleveland. Despite the addition of a few new members to their "Scoopy Gang," there doesn't seem to be many stories developing. Things have literally died down in Cleveland.

The group gets wind of a possible story out of east Texas. A lurid suicide, a provocative Halloween haunted house, and hints of police corruption? Sounds like an easy bonus for the taking.
"Hell in Texas" is the second adventure in the campaign mode for The Things We Leave Behind.

Era: Modern
System: Call of Cthulhu, 7th Edition
Style: Loosey Goosey and frequently offensive
Number of Players: Six

It will be a day or two before I'll be ready for us to start, but I will be posting little things once the game gets officially posted to the forum.

And word to the wise (and the rest of ya), I will be pretty busy this upcoming Memorial Day weekend. I've got the Kinetic Sculpture Race that will keep me a runnin'. But you still might hear from me.

With fiendish delight, I am

Let's give 'em hell...in Texas!

Can I join? I'm actually from Texas so this would be a lot of fun for me. I would like to play an East Texas local who owns a failing tourist shop and reptile farm dedicated to cryptozoology. Cole Parker's my name.

Hey there MDPLISKIN (any relation to Snake Plissken? I heard he was dead.),

So sorry, but right now it looks like I have my six participants. If anything changes, I will give you a holler!

And that investigator sounds like a lot of fun to play!

With a ghoulish grin, I am

Please do. Thanks for the reply.

I've validated everyone who posted in this thread, so now you can all post on the game boards. I'll validate the other new players once they've posted as well.

I've created the forum for the game here and made Spookymizu the Keeper. I used the text at the top of the initial post as the blurb that appears on the main page of the site, but please let me know if you want something else.

I'd also like to be added to the waiting list if a slot opens.

Thank ye, good sir. I appreciate your quick turnaround on everything.

Duly noted about the waiting list.

Glad to have you onboard, Dave.

Hugs with tentacles!

Jacob is ready to drive some people around.

Good to have you back on board, Desert Eagle, errrr.... I mean, Jacob!

I've validated all of your players who posted in this thread except for SisqDave, who I'm not sure is actually one of them. I'm concerned it might be a spammer. Could you confirm whether or not he is one of the players you're expecting? Or he could post something that would let us know that he's here to play?

He’s good. Well, mostly good.
I’m sorry. I thought my response to him would help you with that. I see now that I didn’t use his full username. My fault.

Thank you, SisqDave is now validated as well.

Sup brogres, this is Shrek. I'll be subbing in for SisqDave as Hannah Brock until he can start playing again.

Awesome, Orion....I mean ShrekIsCool. Thank you so much for taking over Dave's character for him. He really appreciates it.
