Hi everyone, I'm Hal and I'm joining the game taking over the character of Eugene - once I'm up to speed with the plot, I'm raring to go!

Cheers, Hal

Welcome aboard! I've posted in your current thread, and Eugene is all yours as soon as you're caught up and ready to start posting.

Eugene's player is returning. Hal, would it be okay with you if you played a different character instead?

If not, I’m happy to play as someone else, so either way is fine with me :)

Tell you what, I picked a good time to start using an online bulletin board to play Cthulhu. It's about the only thing I can do that doesn't involve latex.

Cheers, Hal

Thanks Hal, I'll carry on with Eugene then (my timing is excellent as usual!)
Mr Handy, drop me into the action whenever is convenient.

Thank you both. You may post for Eugene as soon as you've caught up on his story so far. His current thread is Commitment.

Hal, you can choose from other characters that are available. The simplest choice would be to play Charles Davis. You'd just have to read the threads that he was in that you haven't read already. You're actually not supposed to read threads that don't have your character until the adventure is over, which will speed things up for you. Alternatively, you could take over the character of Brook Davies, who is one of the Time Lord's companions. However, she has been in every adventure since the beginning. If she carries over into the next adventure, you'd continue playing her, though she could always be retired at the end of this adventure if she survives. If you do play her, you should probably read the first four adventures as well, especially the first one, as there are some callbacks to that adventure in this one. Just let me know which one you want by posting here, and I'll get you started.

Episode 3: On the Third Day->Lord of the Manor->Convergence->Deeper Mysteries->Waiting->Madness at Night->Home Fires->Trail of Madness->The Prisoner->They're Coming to Take Her Away->Deja Vu->Commitment

When you're ready, you may post for Charles in Commitment.

Sorry I’ve been very heavily sedated over recent weeks with my neuro disease out of control. Mr Handy if I’m non responsive for a long period can you roll for Elizabeth? Though I hope to keep up intermittently. Thanks.

The site was undergoing maintenance, but it took a lot longer than I thought it would. About a week and a half ago I was notified that it would happen starting on Friday the 26th at 10:00 PM Eastern time, and it should have come back up by Saturday at 8:00 AM, but I had then forgotten about it until Friday night, when the site went down while I was in the middle of posting shortly before 11:00 PM. It's been down until today, and I saw that all the posts I made Friday night were gone, as they must have backed the site up some time before they took it down. A spammer I had eliminated was also back, so I had to get rid of it again.

I should be able to update the game and get it moving again starting this weekend.
