Not me - I was a guest at the club.

I'm am not nor have I ever been a military man - I would have liked to fly fast jets (poor eyes-sight ruled that career option out) but being shouted at by a sergeant or shot at by people with big guns - well I can think of nicer ways to spend an afternoon :)

I'm just a poor pig farmer in rustic france.
Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.

And a quick update - spring has sprung down here and alot of jobs on the farm that winter put on hold have needed to be addressed so I haven't had as much time to write things as I planned but I think I will be ready to get the forum set up next week and get rolling, rolling, rolling with play in about 10 days - depending on character gen.

Tabs it was me, who was army, I had the honour to hold a Queen's commission in the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers (formerly the 5th, 6th, 7th and 20th of foot) I had a membership of the rag smply because I was an ex army officer I cpould get in no questions asked. Country membership was only £90 a year and rooms were only £30 in central London (about 200yds from St James palace) which made it a good hotel to use when in London. I gave up my membership when I decided being able to get your breakfast while in jeans, was more important to me than the convenient location of the bed. On top of which there a certainly some clubs which are more fun to join than others the Frontline club for example which is nothing more than a restaurant and a bar extremely well stocked with Whiskey.

In the 18th and 19th century membership of a club would have been pretty much de rigeur, not nowadays.

That is quite a discount! I'm lucky if I can get a decent hotel room in London for £80 a night. I think I've managed that for my upcoming trip in April thanks to the favorable exchange rate.

Papa Gateau, just let me know when you're ready for the forum and I'll create it for you. All I need are the name of the game and a short text description. I'll put it in Other Eras and Settings, since it isn't really Gaslight.

To be honest Mr Handy it was nearly 20 years ago, I'm sure prices have changed since then.

It looks as if this scenario is a slow burn. So, I was wondering... any openings?

Hi, yes there are openings. I'm going to move things along with the opening scene - it's my fault it keeps stalling.

If you want to join straight away you can take over Mario (viewtopic.php?f=331&t=5417#p170062) as NFVD hasn't posted in a long while, or you can roll up an NPC (viewtopic.php?f=331&t=5418#p170187).

Or you can create a new character/concept and I will integrate you into the story at a suitable juncture.
