So, welcome everyone

I'll start adding some of the stuff needed for character creation, then we'll start discussing your investigators. Hope we can have a great time together in Antarctica

FYI, I was just googling Airborne equipment and found this nice article from Wired no less:

Great article, thank you

Chaps, I'm guessing from the adventure title that this might be obliquely pertinent. BBC Radio 7 (now 4 Extra) did a lovely audio version of At The Mountains Of Madness read by Richard Coyle a few years ago. Not a full cast radio play, but a reading with some audio SFX. Quite entertaining for the daily commute or just relaxing late at night. I know the whole thing is on youtube if nowhere else. - Andy

I must have listened to this about 10 times. Great production & very atmospheric.

Agree completely!

Posted: **Sat May 27, 2017 3:23 pm**

Hey guys, sorry my posts have been light recently. Work went utterly crazy. Sorry about that but I'll be more present coming up.

Posted: **Sun May 28, 2017 2:01 pm**

Likewise, sorry about being absent for a few days, I had to go in to the hospital for emergency surgery the 22nd. I'm back at home now though.

Posted: **Mon May 29, 2017 1:35 am**

I hope everything is ok. Feel better, pal.

Posted: **Mon May 29, 2017 7:30 am**

Won't be able to post for a few days. Will be back on friday

Posted: **Mon May 29, 2017 8:45 am**

No sweat!

Posted: **Mon Jun 05, 2017 9:32 am**

Do we want to give some consideration to how the team might operate best in the field? I assume after two days in a smelly plane together, they have some idea of each other's martial strengths. Do we want to have that chat IC or just discuss it here OOC?

Posted: **Tue Jun 06, 2017 2:44 am**

I agree that we'd certainly know a bit about each other. Amadeus is certainly not accustomed to fighting. He can shoot, since he is an ameteur bird hunter, but he hasn't been tested in the field. This of course makes his inclusion all the more conspicuous.

Posted: **Tue Jun 06, 2017 11:44 pm**

I was thinking about this also. Are we going in like Inglourius Basterds / Wild Geese? Being a military operation, who's in charge? Presumably the highest rank?
This seems the best place to me to discuss such matters but I'll go with the flow.

Posted: **Wed Jun 07, 2017 4:50 am**

That's a good question. Going by rank would be the obvious answer. I'm a captain, which is the highest rank here, but so is Captain Kemp. There's also the issue of this being a joint US/UK mission, with an Austrian exile civilian along as well. American soldiers would probably bristle at being under British command. However, one captain is British and one is American. I'd be willing to be second in command to Captain Kemp if he wants to be in charge of the operation.

Posted: **Wed Jun 07, 2017 1:16 pm**

I think you two should have a fistfight for it, lol.

Posted: **Wed Jun 07, 2017 2:04 pm**

Regarding that, technically the man in charge would be selected from HQ. It sort of slipped my mind though, sorry about that

Obviously, it should be a captain, but I'd like you to decide. Then we'll assume it was written on your orders or something like that.

Posted: **Thu Jun 08, 2017 1:57 am**

Happy for either Cap to be in charge. Both are specialist officers so not really fussed. Who's in the best position to post most regularly? In the RW, seems to me commando units always operate on a slightly more democratic basis most of the time anyway.

On formation in the field, it might be wise to keep the specialists, like our doc and civvie, in a protected position in the middle or at the back? We probably want them alive longer.

Stogie as Airborne is shock troops so he's happy to be front and centre in the thick of it. I guess Cajun as a sniper, Tom as an SOE type, and Smalls as a fighter pilot are going to be varyingly in the thick of it too.

Posted: **Thu Jun 08, 2017 2:45 am**

Based on my character bio, Amadeus would know that he's not in charge since he's out of his element. However, he probably isn't used to taking orders so strictly. I don't think this would cause outright conflict but definitely some ruffled bristles. That's kind of already happened, which I love by the way. Adds a lot of nuance.

Posted: **Thu Jun 08, 2017 3:34 am**

My character is airborne too, though as a medic he tends to stay out of the action.

I can usually only post once per day, during a brief window of time.

Posted: **Thu Jun 08, 2017 7:55 pm**

For history flow sake I agree that the most frequent poster to be in charge would make sense. Mr. Handy posts a lot more than me. Now, regarding military accuracy, americans probably would be willing to listen to Kemp, and english fellas to his own captain. Maybe both should be in charge? Do you have any military experience, Mr. Handy? I don't.

Posted: **Fri Jun 09, 2017 2:28 am**

I don't either. All of my military knowledge comes from reading, watching TV shows and movies, and playing games. I can be in charge of the British troops while you're in charge of the Yanks, but one of us needs to be in ultimate command of the mission. I'm used to being in games where other players post during the day when I can't, so once per day doesn't seem like all that often to me, but if it's more often than you post, I guess it should be me.

Posted: **Fri Jun 09, 2017 2:37 am**

It's settled then!

Posted: **Fri Jun 09, 2017 3:43 am**

Obviously, it wouldn't make sense for my character to be in charge but I figured I'd share my availability all the same:

I can post at least once a day, sometimes more. Work can get sporadic with periods of little to do and be swamped the next day... life of a teacher. So my posts may be a bit all over the place.

Posted: **Thu Jun 15, 2017 11:41 am**

I'll be out of town till sunday night, so my posts may become sparse. I'll try to log in, though.

Posted: **Wed Jul 12, 2017 10:04 am**

Team, I'll be on hols until Monday and possibly have no Internet, feel free to NPC Stogie if I'm slow posting.

Posted: **Thu Aug 10, 2017 9:45 am**

I'll be in Japan from tomorrow until the 23rd, so I won't be posting for a while

Posted: **Thu Aug 10, 2017 2:03 pm**

Uhh, Japan... Nice! Enjoy!

Posted: **Sat Aug 12, 2017 5:31 am**

Sorry, sick with flu, please NPC me.

Posted: **Tue Aug 22, 2017 6:27 am**

Hi there, I'm on the mend and will get back into the game shortly!

Posted: **Sat Sep 02, 2017 12:43 pm**

Updated the base map. leonardolad and Mr. ginge are next to the blast door near the power room. The rest of the group is in the barracks.

I feel we might have lost a player or two. That is unfortunately standard routine, and I'll see if I can find replacement players once you complete this first section. There are at least 4 players still active, so there should be no problem

Posted: **Sun Oct 22, 2017 9:56 am**

I'm interested in participating in this adventure, taking over one of the absent characters. Is this okay?

Great

At the moment there's only Amadeus open, as i think the others should more or less be still active. Alternatively, you could pick up the NPC, Sergeant Dowson-Frost, which would allow you to sort of make it from scratch. In any case, once the prologue is over, you might choose to create a new character without any limitation.

Posted: **Sun Oct 22, 2017 11:15 pm**

I'm fine with taking over Amadeus, I've recently RP-ed a psychiatrist, might as well put a fresh 'spin' on it.

Perfect. Check out the additional rules in the "General and Additional Rules" topic, then you can start posting.

Posted: **Mon Oct 23, 2017 10:30 am**

Awesome. I'll have a look 'round and make my post in the relevant thread.

Posted: **Fri Nov 03, 2017 8:21 am**

Apologies if I missed any previous post about this. What is the base attack roll for a panzerfaust 60?

Posted: **Fri Nov 03, 2017 9:02 am**

I'd like to know as well.

Posted: **Fri Nov 03, 2017 9:22 am**

Been a little busy these days. Tomorrow I'll check the rules and move the game forward

Posted: **Sat Nov 04, 2017 3:08 pm**

For the Panzerfaust 60 you roll on Heavy Weapons. It deals 4d8 damage with AP 17. Range is 12/24/48.

Posted: **Mon Dec 25, 2017 1:26 pm**

Sorry, been busy in this pre-Christmas period

Merry Christmas everyone

Posted: **Tue Dec 26, 2017 1:52 am**

Merry Xmas!

Posted: **Wed Dec 27, 2017 11:31 am**

Merry Christmas everyone. Looking forward to using the Panzerfaust in 2018.

Posted: **Tue Feb 06, 2018 11:06 pm**

Sorry guys, I was waiting for those outside the submarine, so I didn't post for a few days. I'll check on Mister Ginge with a PM.

Posted: **Tue Feb 06, 2018 11:09 pm**

No worries.

Posted: **Sun Feb 11, 2018 1:41 pm**

Ok, sorry for the wait guys, let's consider Mr. Ginge out for the moment. I'll NPC his character. Let's finish this prologue with you four remaining players, then I'll see to bring in one or two replacement players.

Posted: **Sun Apr 08, 2018 6:24 am**

Overlord, I'm going to need to take a break. Will have to ask you to NPC Stogie for a while, sorry. - Andy

Ok. I assume that you plan on coming back, right?

Posted: **Tue May 22, 2018 5:40 pm**

How do I make my character picture smaller? It's huge.

Posted: **Thu May 31, 2018 3:18 pm**

Overlord, I’ve rolled for SAN regain, but I couldn’t keep track of all the other skill checks in all this chaos. Would you please be so kind as to remind me what other things I need to roll?

Posted: **Sun Jun 03, 2018 2:05 pm**

Sure, these skills:

German
Electrical Repair
Climb

Posted: **Mon Jun 04, 2018 9:57 am**

Awesome, made edits to my original post. Should be up now.

Posted: **Fri Jun 08, 2018 1:08 pm**

Overlord,
For the sake of convienient reference, do you mind adding the revised stats to Amadeus' char sheet? Would be amazin', thanks.

Sure, I was just waiting for the weekend to update the sheets.

On a more troublesome note, I hope we haven't already lost our two new players

Posted: **Sun Jun 10, 2018 5:54 am**

No, I am here. Sorry, I am still learning to navigate the forum, and I did not notice the new post at first. I'll try to post today.

I did not specify Andreas' rank. Achtung had a lot of rules for it, but since we used plain 6th I let it be. What should I assume?

Posted: **Sun Jun 10, 2018 9:23 am**

Oh no worries. Thanks for all the help and being active, you're a lot better at GMing than me.

Captain or anything below that will do, your choice.

Just figuring out the color font changes.

Posted: **Wed Jul 04, 2018 2:43 pm**

Hello, sorry, not dead. Will get back to posting. Didn't get emails and forgot about this for a while. I'm officially going to give every one of the GMs my email in case I drop off the radar again.

Posted: **Sun Jul 29, 2018 2:20 pm**

I think we have lost the new players, haven't we? Not sure if I should try to find someone else before we even move on with the second chapter. I could NPC the characters, but it would be troublesome, and this is not a campaign that can be played with 2 players.

Posted: **Mon Jul 30, 2018 3:53 am**

If the new players aren't responding to posts or PMs, I think it might be a good idea to try to recruit additional players.

Posted: **Mon Jul 30, 2018 4:51 am**

I can play both Characters, if you want. Or...you could PM him, that worked for me. It's a possibility that the email system just didn't ping him

Posted: **Mon Jul 30, 2018 11:07 pm**

Sorry. I’ve been in the process of moving out of state. I did not get any messages or emails I’m afraid. I’m in to play.

Posted: **Sun Aug 05, 2018 7:07 pm**

Apologies for the silence. I have been on holiday with only occasional network access. I shall try to catch up ASAP.

Posted: **Sun Aug 05, 2018 9:58 pm**

Ok, it's good to see everyone is still active. I'll be on holiday in Russia for one week starting tomorrow, so you'll have to wait a little bit. Once I get back, we can get the game going again

Posted: **Sun Sep 09, 2018 11:51 am**

Hello everyone, sorry for the long time without posting. I've been considering how to handle things with this campaign. The truth is I've been quite swamped with things to do in real life, and I don't have much time to dedicate to this hobby of RPG by forum. Plus, I'm following two campaigns on this forum, and it's more than I can handle right now. So, I decided I'm going to focus on the other one, as it's been going on for longer and I'm more invested on it (along with the players), and I'm going to shut this one down. Sorry to everyone who played and hoped to keep it going. I think this is for the best though.

Posted: **Sun Sep 09, 2018 1:25 pm**

Yeah, had this problem as well. Sad to see this go though

Posted: **Sun Sep 09, 2018 6:38 pm**

I'm sorry to see this end too, but I understand. I know how hard it is to run multiple games at once. When you're ready and you're sure everyone has had a chance to see this, let me know by posting here and I'll move it to the Graveyard. We can always bring it back later if you ever have time in the future.

Posted: **Thu Sep 20, 2018 3:49 pm**

Thank you. I think you can move it now. There's also another one of my games, the one called Paris: City of Tears, that is also closed but was never removed.
