Combat Example - Quick Play

[Mr. Handy]

I'd like to play the police detective.

[OathinBlood]

Trixie, you are Evelyn Swanson, the journalist for 'Massachusetts Supernatural'.

Mr. Handy, you are Walter Lehman, the detective for the Amesbury Police Department.

Thomas Hyde, the photographer, is still up for grabs.

Edward Garvin, the policeman, is still up for grabs.

Robert Farwell, the magazine editor, is still up for grabs.

[Laraqua]

Thomas Hyde for me.

[MysticalNun]

I'll take Edward the other policeman.

[OathinBlood]

I sent a PM to Harker. As soon as I get a reply, I'll start the mini-game.

[trixie]

Is Laraqua still playing? I thought she wanted to.

[Mr. Handy]

I believe so. She posted last night that she's playing Thomas Hyde. Harker will have to take Farwell, the editor.

It's funny, my character has 50 Sanity to start - and that's the highest!

[OathinBlood]

I KNOW. The rolls were HORRIBLE, so I thought it'd be fun to put the lowest rolls in POW. Everyone has insanely low sanity now - a few might go indefinitely insane just by failing the sanity check on seeing the Dark Young.

[Mr. Handy]

The rolls weren't all that horrible. They're better than I usually roll, and most of them are actually above average overall.

[MysticalNun]

My rolls (and score placement) are hilarious. POW 5 (San 25) with an EDU of 16. I'm never going to get a shot off.

[Mr. Handy]

Hopefully not. If you do, you'll probably be shooting at us!

Trixie, you are Evelyn Swanson, the journalist for 'Massachusetts Supernatural'.

Laraqua, you are Thomas Hyde, the photographer for 'Massachusetts Supernatural'.

Everyone's here then. I'll snag a forum for us and get the show on the road. While we wait, what are your timezones and when will you be active? I'm GMT -7, and am usually basically active from 4-11 in little spurts on weekdays, all again little spurts all day on the weekend.

[Laraqua]

I'm Adelaide and it's currently 12:30PM where I am. usually active from now and for the next 8-14 hours, depending.

[Mr. Handy]

I'm in the Eastern U.S. (GMT-5, but that may be off an hour due to Daylight Savings Time), and I'm usually on from 6 PM to midnight during the week, give or take, and also in spurts. During the weekend I'm usually on all day in spurts as well. I tend to check for new posts at regular, frequent intervals.

[OathinBlood]

I'm Adelaide and it's currently 12:30PM where I am. usually active from now and for the next 8-14 hours, depending.

That's GMT +9.3 then. It's 8:00 P.M. where in Vancouver. Quite the difference

Anyways, I was wondering if you guys would be interested in this long-term, as in having multiple scenarios all based around a physical conflict, as a face-paced kind of thing just to differentiate from the month-long scenarios/campaigns that we have going around here. If you are, we could possibly get a single forum for all of them, which would be convenient.

[Laraqua]

Ask me again after I've tried the first one!

[OathinBlood]

Good point. I'm getting ahead of myself. One good thing is that four of us are on and active right now. Me, Mr. Handy, Laraqua, and Harker. Perhaps we can work a schedule out. Anyways, I sent a PM to carnage_lee. We should be playing by tomorrow. Hurrah!

[trixie]

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

[Mr. Handy]

And she's got a high Throw skill. Don't underestimate that. It can be used to throw things other than knives too, remember.

[Laraqua]

Like coins! And bottle tops! And glasses!
