Definitely, one way or another Harry will be heading home shortly.

How do you put text in the spoiler button? I can use the "spoiler" tool just fine, but the button only says "show". I've tried using the "spoiler-button" tool but it never seems to work in preview.

[HoneyDog]

Does this help?,Click on Spoiler-Button, then write the text you want for the title of your button, and then put a comma. After the comma, add the content of your message. Anything you write after the comma will be hidden. I had to ask about it too, it takes a bit to work it out.

[Ebinthetropics]

seems to work just fine,Thanks!

[HoneyDog]

Super!,HoneyDog go bed now.

Ummm, not to be picky but handguns don't normally get a damage bonus. Your weight and muscle don't make that bullet go faster. A little 32 shoots a lot of rounds (ie. 3) in a turn and each does 1d8 if it hits.

(Rules, p.41, 64.)

[Mr. Handy]

I was wondering about the bonus myself, but I thought it must be a situational thing due to the nature of the creatures. No character has a damage bonus of 1D8, and Dr. Preston has a 1D4 damage bonus.

Who is this 'Rooter' fellow who's hijacked the game?

[Rooter]

Sorry, boss. Didn't like the old username.

[Mr. Handy]

Rooter is Wruter. Yesterday he asked me to change how his username was spelled.

Sorry for my long, long unexplained absence. I got a lot of things piled up and forgot to check the forums for updates. So...quick question, is Helena still alive? I'd like to get back into the game.

[HoneyDog]

Er... you managed to post in the other games, I see.

For the moment Helena is at home. The action will return to Colonel Hollingsworth’s mansion later, and she can rejoin there. It’s up to you to follow the action, though.

[HelplessBystander]

I, uh, I promise I'll try and post more frequently.

[andyw666]

Hmm, ominous chapter heading...

[andyw666]

I've always wanted to be able to write "Good god, Digby, have you taken leave of your senses?"

Very Victorian.

[HoneyDog]

Are you a Victorian, Andy?

[andyw666]

In spirit for the era - absolutely! Too much 19th century set fiction has affected me.

(To be distinguished from my countrymen across the border in the State of Victoria. I'm definitely not one of them - pah!)

[HelplessBystander]

Australians should stick together, andy, and channel it into something more productive, like looking at the New Zealanders...

[andyw666]

No, bugger that! As we say, kick a Vic!

[HelplessBystander]

I mean, as a Melbournian, I take offense to that. It's all fun and games unless you're a NSW-er.
